Three receivers built on a common platform; System 500 is designed to perform all surveying applications. The single frequency SR510 is built for short baseline measurements with slightly longer occupation times. The SR520 is a dual frequency receiver capable of high accuracy post processed measurements with minimum occupation time. The SR530 is based upon the SR520 but with RTK capability added. The upgrade path from single frequency to dual frequency and RTK is simple with System 500 because of the common platform and operating system.

The modular design of System 500 makes it easy and convenient to switch configurations. Use System 500 on a tripod for control surveys, in a backpack, or all on the pole for RTK applications. Data is collected on industry standard PC cards that are fully interchangeable with Leica conventional total stations.

While it’s true that all GPS receivers use the same satellite signals, there is a significant difference between brands of GPS sensors. Leica engineers packed the latest technological advances into System 500 including fully independent L1 and L2 tracking loops to ensure precise data with high accuracy code and full wave carrier phase. P-code aided tracking provides a decisive 13db signal to noise ratio advantage over conventional cross correlation receivers. This means better signal reception in difficult environments such as tree cover. State of the art jamming resistance and Multipath Mitigation are combined with this superior single reception and satellite tracking technology. The sum total of  this technology is called Cleartrak.
