Standard Features
The MC500 includes as standard the
following features:
PPS Output functionality installed.
Event Input functionality installed.
Met / Tilt Interface.
Ring Buffer Functionality.
Ground Stud.
Environmental shock absorbers.
Dust caps for external ports.
Data Storage
The MC500 also comes as standard
with a PCMCIA card. This card
enables data to be stored for post-
processing. This card is installed
behind the protective cover. This
cover should only be removed by an
approved Leica technician.
Outside World Interface (OWI)
External control of the MC500 is
achieved through use of the Outside
World Interface (OWI) message
format from Leica.
Integration assistance and OWI
documentation is available on request
from Leica.
Powering the MC500
The MC500 requires 12VDC power to
be supplied externally, as there is no
option to connect standard
Camcorder batteries.
Turning the MC500 On/Off
Due to the ruggedised housing of the
MC500, there is no on/off switch on
the front of the sensor.
The MC500 can be powered on or off
by the TR500 Terminal or by a remote
control command (OWI).
Like the Sr5xx sensors, the MC500
will automatically power itself up and
return to the previous operating mode
after any temporary power failure.
Cabling Connections / Options
Cable connections are identical to
other System 500 receivers.
Refer to MC500 Equipment list, Dozer
2000 Installation and Maintenance
Guide for cabling options.
