Using pre-installed Trimble apps

The T70 controller comes with a range of useful pre-installed Trimble software.

The Empower Hub is a centralized location to control and manage Trimble Empower modules from one convenient, easy-to-use application. The Empower Hub comes installed on the T70 and can be used to monitor module status and manage modules attached to your device, including:

  • View module status information

  • Enable and Disable connected modules

  • Launch utilities to configure your module(s)

  • Configure and launch applications associated with your modules

  • Check for and install module firmware updates

Turn on the device and from the Home screen, swipe up to open the Apps screen. Tap on the Empower Hub icon to start the Empower Hub app.

For more information, refer to the module documentation.

TIP – To save battery power, turn off the Empower module if you will not be using it for a prolonged period.

Powering modules in the Empower Hub

Most Empower modules can be powered off. This can be useful if you are still using the device, but are not using the Empower module. All Empower modules draw some power, even when they are not being used. Power off the Empower module to help maximize battery life.

Application software can also power modules on and off. They will often power off a module if you stop using it in the current software configuration.

To power off the module in Empower Hub, tap the toggle switch at the top of the information screen.

NOTE – Some modules do not require you to start the Empower Hub to manage the module. You may only need to use the Hub to turn the module off to save battery charge.

Some modules may require that additional drivers and / or supporting applications be installed before the base device recognizes the module; contact your Trimble dealer for help.
