Topcon Wireless Total Station


On the way home from work, I stopped by a construction sight to visit a friend, who was supervising a project. I was chatting with him when I noticed out of the corner of my eye one of his construction workers using a Total Station and a Data Collector. The gentleman was recording measurements and all was calm. That is, until he walked a couple of feet to get his water bottle.
Then there was chaos. He tripped over a cable that connected the Total Station and the data collector and down he went. Not only did he hit the floor hard but so did the Data Collector. After a few frightening moments of watching the tripod with the Total station on it wobble, it settled back in its place as if nothing happened.
I took one look at my friend’s face and knew it was time to leave. I slipped him my company’s card before I left and told him to call because I knew something that might interest him. I wanted to introduce to him to the Topcon GTS-239W Total Station which combines long prismless measurements with wireless communication between the Total Station and the Data Collector.
With no cable between the GTS-239W and a Bluetooth-enabled data collector, this total station offers versatility and ease of use for surveying and construction applications. Bluetooth technology enables wireless communications with field computers and eliminates field production delays caused by broken or forgotten cables or accidents like the one that happened on my friend’s construction sight.
The Topcon GTS-239W also has dual-optical system gives a finely focused beam for pinpoint accuracy and a wider pattern to prevent off-center measuring degradation for maximum measuring accuracy all the time. Previously impossible measurements of any target within a range of 300 meters can now be easily achieved. This Total Station has one of the longest reflectorless ranges, which is up to 250m. It Measures up to 3000 meters with a prism. The GTS-239W also includes "Pulse" technology which enables the laser to discern between near objects and the distant target.
To meet your specific survey needs, the GTS-239W includes a laser plummet which allows fast and easy setup, a point guide feature which allows for fast alignment in staking tasks, and four levels of angular accuracy which suits any application. The Precise Pulse-Laser installed in the total station eliminates measuring errors caused by the overlapping signals used in phase measuring systems. It accurately measures corners or through objects and is always fast and reliable.
Each Topcon GTS-239W total station has on-board data collection capabilities. Other features include a large easy-to-read LCD display, and an expanded keyboard for increase functionality and it is loaded with standard features including a long life ten hour NiMH battery, handy application programs, and increased distance range. This complete package has been designed to speed up your work while insuring accuracy and ease of use.
