Description of the System General Area of application The DS2000 system is intended for localising and mapping underground utilities and can therefore be used for civil engineering applications. System Components DS2000 System The DS2000 system consist of the following components:...
Handle The handle of the DS2000 can be adjusted both in height and incli- nation. For easy transport of the DS2000, the handle can be folded At the side of the handle bar is an Ethernet plug for connecting the laptop/tablet to the cable of the control unit.
Requirements for Using a GPS Antenna with the DS2000 Requirements The DS2000 can be used with a GPS antenna to position the scan data in real-time without the need to set up a measurement grid. For using the DS2000 with a GPS antenna, the GPS antenna has to meet the following requirements: •...
Setup Procedure for The setup procedure of the DS2000 consists of the following steps: setting up the • Unfolding and adjusting the handle (refer to "3.1 Unfolding and Adjusting the DS2000 Handle") • Preparing the antenna (refer to "3.2 Preparing the Antenna") •...
Two-wheeled version • For transportation, push the lever to the left position. • When using the DS2000 in rough terrain, push the lever to the middle position. The antenna has limited mobility. • When using the DS2000 in smooth terrain, push the lever to the right position. The movement of the antenna is blocked.
• The valve has to be pressed horizontally. • The paint emerges from the top of the valve and flows along the elongation of the spray can (not perpendicular to it). a) Horizontal pressure on the valve b) Spray paint 012320_001 Leica DM2000, Setup...
