Attaching the pole bracket (optional)

An optional accessory for the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector, the pole mount consists of three parts:

  • the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector-facing part. This is a custom bracket mount which attaches to the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector .

  • The adjustable arm.

    • One end screws onto the custom TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector bracket mount, and the other end includes a connector that is compatible with other Trimble mounting products.

    • The arm can be set up for left or right hand usage. To switch it from one side to the other, unscrew the black screws in the cradle plate where the device sits, rotate the cradle plate, then screw it back into place.

  • The pole-facing part.

    • One side attaches to the connector on the adjustable arm, and the other side includes the pole clamp.

    • The pole-facing part is compact, so that it fits into a 10 cm (4”) pipe for storage.

The TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector bracket mount “snaps” easily onto the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector.

To attach the bracket to the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector:

  1. Screw the adjustable arm onto the bracket mount.

  2. To install the bracket onto the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector, place the bracket hook into the mount point directly above the battery door on the controller / data collector. Then, pull down on the spring mechanism on the bottom of the bracket mount and push firmly into the controller / data collector to snap into place.

To remove the bracket mount from the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector , pull down on the spring mechanism and lift up to remove.

When the pole bracket mount and adjustable arm are attached to the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector , it “snaps” easily into the cradle of the pole clamp assembly.

To attach the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector onto the pole mount, place the connector on the adjustable arm into the pole clamp and then push it firmly into the snap lock.

To remove the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector from the pole clamp, on the back of the locking mechanism, pull the lever to release the TSC5 controller / Ranger 5 data collector .

The adjustable arm and pole-facing part of the pole mount can also be used with a Trimble Ranger 7 data collector / Trimble TSC7 controller. The pole-facing part of the pole mount can also be used with other Trimble products.
