Whether you are measuring land for construction or establishing property boundaries, collecting and calculating accurate field data is an important part of a surveyor’s job. In general, professionally qualified and licensed surveyors carry out this process. However, with the availability of handheld field computers like the Spectra Ranger 3XR with Survey Pro Max, determining property boundary lines with accurate measurements is easy even for non-professionals. This device is used in conjunction with total stations and is equipped with a Windows operating system, ergonomic keypad, military-grade durability, GPS receiver and a camera to maximize your productivity in the field.

What is a Data Collector?

A data collector is an electronic device that records precise measurements of coordinates, angles, distances, elevations and more. It is battery powered, portable, and equipped with a microprocessor, internal memory for data storage and wireless features for connectivity and data transfer. This advanced handheld field computer increases efficiency and productivity in topographic surveying, mapping and construction projects. With built-in keypad, LCD display, and field software, it can be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with total stations and personal computers for viewing, analyzing, and manipulating collected land data.

Easy Operation and Connectivity

The Spectra Ranger 3RC has a large touch-screen color display that can be viewed easily in sunlight and is illuminated for ease-of-use even in low lighting. It features a full alphanumeric keypad, which means you can input numbers, letters, or symbols as easily and quickly. This surveying field data collector has a built-in GPS receiver for accurate positional information, a 2.4 GHz radio module for using the device easily with existing Spectra robotic total stations, and a customized 5-megapixel camera with LED flash that includes time and location data from the GPS receiver through Microsoft pictures & videos software. You can also upload and download data using its integrated Wi-Fi or WWAN (Wireless Wide-Area Network) connection, which uses cellphone networks to access the Internet or send text messages. The Bluetooth capability allows cable-free connection with other field instruments and PC.

This powerful surveying instrument comes standard with a high-speed 800 MHz processor and 256 MB RAM for running fast and reliable software applications and 8 GB of onboard memory for storing data.
