Measurement Solution for the Inaccessible. If it’s too tall, too dangerous, too large or locked behind a gate, so long as you can see it, the Advantage can measure it.
The Advantage laser measurement system is a full-featured solution that can be configured to provide mapping and measurement functions for a variety of applications.
- Internal Compass
- Measures bearing, angles or horizontal distances
- Internal Inclinometer
- Gathers incline, vertical and elevation measurement data
- High-precision Encoding Tripods
- Vertical, horizontal or dual encoder bypasses compass and/or inclinometer functions for accuracies of ±.1 degrees
- Monopole - Alone or with GPS systems
General characteristics
• Simple to use, plain-language menu
• Less than a minute from case to measuring, even full-featured configurations are fast to set up, about 5 minutes
• Internal compass and inclinometer
• Lightweight, compact system in a portable, durable carrying case
• Variety of data collection methods, Compatible with most GPS, GIS and COGO systems and software
• Measures to a vertical surface 2,000 feet/600 meters away and prisms up to 30,000 feet/9,100 meters
• Perfect for rough, congested terrain or any other inaccessible and dangerous area
Simple, Single-operator Tool
Wire-line and poles, communications towers, bridge piers, industrial areas – measuring any of these items is no small task, unless you use the Advantage Laser Measurement System. The Advantage system is a highly flexible tool that lets a single operator stand at a safe and convenient vantage point and quickly measure anything in sight. You can even create coordinate maps and GPS positions.
• Calculates:
• Straight-line distance
• Horizontal missing-line distance between two points
• Angles, areas and elevations
• Heights and vertical distance between two objects or points
• GPS coordinates of a targeted, remote position
• Single-person operation or use with reflector/surveyor pole
• Displays measurement values in head-up display and on rear LCD screen
• Record values to a data collector, handheld computer or laptop and can directly populate coordinates in many GIS and COGO software packages
•Optional onboard memory slot for SD card & USB drive that stores ASCII data of each shot
