• Fast and Powerful EDM
• 800m Non-Prism range
• 4500m Prism range
• Temperature specification -20 to +50 deg C
• Laser pointer (Red Coaxial 690nm)
• Sunlight Readable Display
• Supplied with MAGNET Field on-board software as standard

TSshield® Advanced Security and Maintenance

The new dual SIM module allows the customer to insert their own data SIM card in the GT-503M total station to communicate directly to MAGNET Enterprise. The telematics card installed can communicate to the TSshield® servers every day, which can then review if the total station has any existing error codes, the version of the firmware that is installed, as well as the total station geographical location. From this information, a message can be sent to the total station and advise the operator if further action is available or necessary. The new dual SIM module allows the customer to insert their own data SIM card in the GT-503M total station for real-time site communications.

Auto Collimating to a Prism

The GT-503M has the ability to find a prism and lock within the field of view simplifying the steps for the operator to find the prism. No need to focus the GT-503M to find the prism.

Direct Drive motors capable 85 degrees/sec

The direct drive motors of the instrument have an angular speed of up to 85 degrees per second.

Exclusive LongLinkTM Communications 300m

When connected with an external data collector, the LonglinkTM communication provides license-free communication.

Advanced Angle Accuracy

Our advanced encoder technology provides 'Best in class' 3" angle accuracy, and in addition, allows the instrument to calibrate its own angle measurement system automatically.

Rugged Waterproof IP65 design

Provides protection from the driving rainy weather, as well as dust ingress.

Fast and Powerful EDM

The 800m Non-Prism distance measurement uses a phase shift EDM that has a smaller beam width than other non-prism instruments in this class. Distance measurements can be taken as fast as 0.9 seconds in fine mode. Measurement algorithms reduce the noise associated with non-prism measurements providing an accurate result to most surfaces over a longer distance. This is true for darker surfaces and wet surfaces where other non-prisms fail. Our smaller beam width allows the GT-503M to get measurements, for example, to a fence as well as through the fence to any objects behind it.

Laser pointer (Red Coaxial)

Our red laser pointer is coaxial through the telescope making measurements in dark environments, it can assist the remote rod operator in limited sunlight or over shorter distance shots.

Red and Green LED guide lights

Provide the remote pole man with direction to approximately find the horizontal line. This feature is extremely helpful during stakeout to quickly find line without communication with the instrument operator, or for trying to find the horizontal angle (line) when cutting brush for a traverse line.

Easy access USB flash drive port & connectivity

The GT-503M total station provides water and dust protection for USB hardware thumb drives. An operator can easily import/export data from the office to the field in seconds. The instrument has both USB type A and Type B for easy connection to a computer. In addition, a RS-232 connector is provided for connecting to data collectors that do not have Bluetooth or to transfer data to a computer.

Sunlight readable 4.3inch Graphic Color TFT WVGA Display

The GT-503M has a touch screen TFT WVGA that can be seen any many different light conditions

Quick and easy Trigger Key

This is located on the right-hand side of the total station and allows the instrument operator to easily and quickly take measurements whilst looking through the telescope.
