FieldHawk Dual Total Station Radio Link (Wireless)

FieldHawk Dual-Wireless Radio Kit- Compatible with Leica, Topcon and Trimble 5600 Total Stations

Long Range Wireless Link & Wireless Data Collector Connection!

The FieldHawk Dual-Wireless radio kit provides you with a long range wireless radio link between your total station and data collector, plus a wireless connection between your data collector and the rover radio.

The radio link range between the base and rover radio is designed for 1200' or 365 meters. While this is a conservative estimate, you can achieve longer distances under normal conditions.

Users use our radio systems in one of two ways:

• Robotic Control - Users of robotic total stations use FieldHawk to provide a long range wireless link between the data collector at the prism pole and their total station.
• Remote Control - Some customers use FieldHawk to provide a wireless link that allows them to run the data collector remotely from their non robotic total station.  Some customers find it useful to put the more experienced person at the prism pole, and leave the instrument operation to those with less experience.

Flexibility at the Pole!

As you can see by the picture on the right, no cables at pole simplifies your setup.  Some users put the radio in their work vest, or hang it on their tool belt which means you have less items to carry on the pole.

Furthermore, because you have a wireless connection you can easily move the radio high on the pole for a clearer line of sight between the base and rover radios.  Finally get those tough shots such as shooting in tall grass, bottom of ditches, behind fences, etc.

Power

FieldHawk is powered using an internal 2400 MHa Li-Ion battery. Under normal conditions, you can expect 30 - 40 hours of continuous use between charges. However, if you run out of power, FieldHawk includes an external 9V battery compartment so you can complete your job using standard 9V batteries.

FieldHawk Dual or FieldHawk Dual-Wireless?

Both systems will provide you with exactly the same long distance wireless range between the base and rover radios.  The only difference is that with the FieldHawk Dual you have to connect to the rover radio with a cable, where as with the Dual-Wireless you can connect with Bluetooth.

The Dual-Wireless system is more expensive, but does provide you with the most flexibility.  An important thing to note is that the Dual-Wireless rover radio does not have a serial port, and only supports Bluetooth connections.

What do I Need?

1. Total Station - You need a standard total station that has a serial communication port. At the instrument you will connect the FieldHawk base radio with your existing instrument cable. All brands of total stations including Topcon, Sokkia, Leica, Trimble are compatible with FieldHawk.
2. Data Collector - You need a data collector that has Bluetooth capabilities. Your data collector must have a Bluetooth card, or built in Bluetooth to connect to the FieldHawk rover radio
