Frequently asked questions
Are the manuals free of charge?
Yes. All manuals and inserts on this page are available free of charge as PDFs, without registration or a customer account.
I lost my printed manual. What now?
No problem: Every printed insert included with our products is also available digitally here. Simply download the appropriate PDF and print it again if needed.
What language are the PDFs in?
Each manual contains a German and an English page (DE/EN). The 6-bit coding table is language-neutral and applies to both.
Which marker is needed for Leica 6-bit coding?
A black permanent marker whose tip fits through the openings of the template and whose ink the camera reads reliably. Glossy ink reflects the light from the sensors in the bayonet, and then the camera reads the code incorrectly (“white”). Our 6-Bit Encoder Kit includes the uni Super Ink Marker PNA-125 for this purpose.
