When you are on the field, you
don’t want to be bogged down by cables, slow processors, or equipment that is
complicated to use. You need agility,
efficiency, and dependability. Topcon Positioning Systems understands
that. They designed the FC-250 field controller to provide the functionality surveyors
demand and the durability they need for their work on the field. The Topcon
FC-250 is a model of the next generation in field control technology, delivering
a package designed for optimum capability, convenience, and performance.
The package
The FC-250 delivers just what
you’re looking for in a compact and rugged package.
It measures just 7.72 in. x 4.21 in. x 2.40 in.
and weighs only 1.5 pounds. But there’s nothing lightweight about its performance.
It contains a powerful computer based on the latest Windows Mobile® 6.5 operating system with a 806MHz processor
and a Marvel PXA320 microprocessor. The FC-250 can
hold 1GB in flash storage; it has
built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology and WiFi.
Capability
The integrated Bluetooth® can be
used to interface to GPRS enabled cell phones to receive or send data along the
way or to transfer everything at once when you are done. The FC-250 interface is completely user friendly. Even
novices will quickly learn to navigate the full functionality it offers. As you
would expect, the FC-250 function with all of Topcon’s data collector software
applications, such as TopSURV 7 and Pocket3D, as well as other productivity
applications. Its processes are fast
enough to handle full color graphics – even video. It can even work in real time with live
images.
Built for the outdoors
The FC-250’s design shows an
understanding of real life conditions for outdoor use with with all the
features you need at your fingertips and no cables to trip you up. Its VGA
touch sensitive sreen is very easy to use, and the 3.8” full color display won’t
make you squint. It is LED backlit and readable even in sunlight.
Up for a rough trip
It operates at an extreme range
of temperatures from -4°F to +122°F, and
its environmentally sealed housing
keeps it safe. The media card cover is weatherproof, and the ports are covered
to keep them protected. Its
environmental rating is IP-66. The rugged casing is strong enough to withstand shock
resistance even from a fall of 3 feet onto concrete.
Convenience on the go
Aside from its durability, the
housing is ergonomically designed for comfortable handling. The device’s
battery allows it to run for 6-10 hours on the field. Even when there are no
outlets handy, you can keep it powered by swapping out the easily removable
Li-ion batteries for a backup that is internally recharged.
Easy data transfers
Both the Bluetooth and WiFi components are
hardwired inside the device, allowing the CF card slot to remain open and
available for other CF devices. The slots make it easy to add extra memory
cards as needed with no need to dig out specialized tools. You can use the cards for data transfer and
exchange with other devices, or, if you prefer, you can use a USB memory stick
that will fit the USB 1.1 Type A slot. You can also opt to use ActiveSync on
your PC to
transfer data through the medium
of Bluetooth® or a USB cable.
