Complete Control: The RC-PR5A on-demand remote allows for rapid prism search no matter your position. A built-in directional sensor constantly monitor the prism movement so the SX can turn left or right, whichever direction is closer.

The Remote Control System works as follows. A laser is emitted from the laser projection port on the Remote Controller. The total station rotates until its beam detector receives this beam. In thes way the total staion is able to detect the position of the Remote Controller. This operation is called "Turning".

With the Remote Control System it is possible for a single operator to perform measurements, unaided, at multiple measurement points.

The Remote Controller incorporates a Bluetooth unit which allows simultaneous communication with both the total station and a data collector.

For Best Results:
- When using in conjunction with a total station, perform communication within a line-of-sight distance of appox. 300m. The usable range becomes shorter when obstacles block the line of sight, or devices other than total stations, such as PDSs or computers, are used. Wood, glass and plastic will not impede communication but the usable range becomes shorter. Moreover, wood, glass and plastic containing metal frames, plates, foil and other heat shielding elements as well as coatings containing metallic powders may adversely affect Bluetooth communication and concrete, reinforced concrete, and metal will render it impossible.
- Use a vinyl or plastic cover to protect the instrument from rain and moisture. Metallic materials should not be used.
- The direction of the Bluetooth antenna can have adverse effects upon usable range. For best results make sure that the antennas of both the Remote Controller and the companion device are pointing towards one another.
