RED-Tech EDM Technology
A reliable technology from Sokkia has gotten even better. In side-by-side tests with competing instruments, the FX EDA outperformed the rest. The FX offers a tight beam signal and strong returns from the most difficult of surfaces — dark and wet.
TSshield Advanced Maintenance & Security
Every instrument has a telematics card installed that will communicate to the TSshield servers every day. The system then reviews current software and sends an alert to the FX total station if a newer version is available. The security comes from registration at the point of sale. This gives you the power to lock and unlock the operation of the FX. An owner can log into the TSshield website and lock an instrument if it is lost or stolen. This theft deterrent functionality is the first in the industry.
Long-Range Bluetooth Class 1 Communications, 300m+
When connected with an external data collector, the FX communication provides control at the remote rod position. The controller operator can record the data for codes and rod heights at the point of measurement. For stakeout, the remote operator can view directions required to find the next stake point. The system becomes a very productive system, similar to a robotic system where the instrument man simply needs to follow, aim, and focus on the remote prism. (Available in a future firmware.)
