1. THE COMPLETE INSTRUMENT
THE HTS-580 SERIES - SOPHISTICATED TO MAKE SURVEYING SIMPLE
Product Introduction
(For both the 580 & 550 HTS Series)
The HORIZON Series Total Station is a
complete package solution. It covers the
entire field process in detail.
The robust exterior shell of the HTS Series
has been tested to withstand even greater
rigorous use in various weather conditions
The HTS Series now features an ergonomic
keyboard, and wide screen for user comfort.
Simplified for ease of operation and
programmed with new application features,
like Coordinate Setting Out, it’s easy to grow
in confidence with each usage.
The HTS-RX Series Reflectorless Total
Station offers the user the advantage
of measurement without Reflectors and
Prisms, while maintaining the features
of the HTS- Total Station. A highly
versatile laser aids the user in sighting
and measurement of a distant target,
increasing measurement effectiveness
offered by the Reflectorless Technology
of the HTS-RX.
