Livermore, CA – A new total station series specifically designed for construction layout and other job site positioning tasks has been announced by Topcon Positioning Systems.
The CTS-3000 series features onboard software that simplifies staking. An extended keyboard enables easy operation and data input. The system software can also be operated with a hand-held data collector, like Topcon’s FC-100. Reflectorless measurement capabilities up to 250m (820 ft.) and a prism type range of 3,000m (9842 ft.) to a single standard size prism provide the range needed to cover most job sites.
Formal surveying experience is not needed to use the CTS-3000 series instruments on the job site. This unit is designed to carry grades, set or maintain control, or perform layout quickly and easily.
CTS-3000 series instruments are built with rugged, weatherproof housings to protect internal components under typical job conditions and use.
