Viva Series, Antenna Heights 287
Vertical height reading The vertical height reading is the height difference between the pillar benchmark and the
mechanical reference plane of the antenna. Normally, it is determined indirectly by levelling.
Determine the antenna
height step-by-step
Sometimes, it is difficult to measure to the MRP directly.
Step Description
1. Determine the height difference between the pillar benchmark and a surface on
the carrier.
2. Look up the height difference between this surface on the carrier and where the
MRP of the antenna sits on the carrier.
3. Add the values determined in step 1. and 2., to get the vertical height reading.
4. For Leica standard antennas plus accessories, the vertical offset is 0.00 m.
