Trimble T70 controller

The Trimble T70 controller can be used as a controller for the instrument.

The T70 can use different methods to communicate with the instrument:

  • Bluetooth wireless technology.

  • Radio when using robotic instruments.

Fitting the T70 to the instrument

You can mount the T70 controller onto the instrument using the S/SPS Series total station adapter (sold separately).

To fit the T70 to the instrument:

  1. Attach the S/SPS Series total station adapter to the instrument.

  2. Hook the top of the adapter over the top edge of the panel attachment on the instrument.

  3. Push the bottom of the adapter toward the panel attachment until it clicks into place.

NOTE – When the T70 controller is not attached, fit the Panel Attachment Cover to protect the connectors from mechanical damage and corrosion and for full ESD protection. See Safety information.

Removing the T70 from the instrument

  1. Lift the top of the T70 away from the instrument and lift it off.

  2. To remove the adapter, lift the bottom of the adapter away from the instrument and then unhook the top of the adapter from the top edge of the panel attachment.

Connecting with Bluetooth wireless technology

The T70 has integrated Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to the field software documentation regarding how to activate and set up the Bluetooth connection.

Connecting with radio

A robotic instrument is equipped with a radio that can communicate with the T70 through the integrated radio.

The two radios must be set to the same channel to establish communication. The radio channel for the instrument radio can be set in the following ways:

  • In the face 2 panel; see Radio settings.

  • In the T70 field software when the T70 is mounted on the instrument.
