Written by Topcon
Friday, 30 September 2005
Livermore, CA – Topcon, the World's leader in precision positioning technology, now offers the popular FC-100 field computer with 256 Mb non-volatile internal memory. Now you can power through field tasks fast and handle the biggest job files easily with this feature-packed controller. With 20 hours of battery life from the lithium-ion camcorder-style batteries, you can work more than two days without recharging.
The FC-100 features an Intel® 400 Mhz X-scale processor and Windows® CE operating system for quick response to commands and functions. Visibility in bright daylight conditions is never a problem – the ultra-bright color touch screen display is clear and crisp. Separate slots for compact flash (CF) and secure digital (SD) cards provide the user with flexibility for file transfer and storage. The rugged, compact housing protects internal components against harsh environments and extreme field conditions.
The FC-100 can also be purchased with the option of 128 Mb internal memory. Visit Topcon’s website: www.topconsurvey.com/hardware/fc100.html for details and specifications. You can also contact your Topcon survey or construction product dealer for information and pricing.
