South N6+ Series: The Future of Manual Total Stations
The South N6+ Series, or South N6+ Total Station, is a powerful and versatile manual total station engineered for professionals who require top-tier performance. Its advanced features, including superior signal processing, optimized optics, and seamless data transfer, make it a standout choice for various surveying and construction tasks.
Enhanced Performance with Advanced Technology
Optimized Signal Processing
The South N6+ Series leverages cutting-edge noise reduction technology, increasing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by four times. This ensures greater accuracy, even in environments with weak signals. The improved optical structure minimizes light refraction and crosstalk, while coaxial alignment enhances precision and usability.
Long-Range EDM Capabilities
The South N6+ boasts an impressive reflector-less range of up to 1500 meters, enabling quick measurements in just 0.3 seconds. With a prism, the device achieves unparalleled accuracy of (2+2ppm) up to 5.0km, making it ideal for tasks involving distant or challenging targets like rooftops and wires.
Smaller, More Accurate Laser Spot
At distances of 5m, 35m, and 50m, the laser spot size has been refined to 3mm, 12mm, and 16mm, respectively. This precision ensures accurate target aiming and reliable results in any environment.
User-Friendly Design and Advanced Features
Intuitive Onboard Interface
The South N6+ Total Station features an easy-to-navigate interface with a new toolbar design, allowing users to monitor device status in real-time. Its powerful onboard programs simplify complex tasks like coordinate geometry (COGO), point-to-line calculations, and offset measurements.
Optimized Road Program
Designed with surveyors in mind, the N6+ offers an advanced road program for designing, editing, and laying out roads. The program handles horizontal and vertical curve calculations with ease, ensuring efficient and precise road construction workflows.
Seamless Data Transfer and Connectivity
Multiple Data Transfer Methods
The South N6+ Series supports bi-directional data transfer through Bluetooth, RS-232 ports, SD card slots, and USB connections. Export RAW data in TXT, DXF, or CSV formats for seamless integration with third-party software, thanks to South Communication Software compatibility.
Enhanced Data Collector Integration
With its integrated Bluetooth module and open-source commands, the N6+ enables smooth communication with external data collectors and custom software applications, offering unparalleled flexibility and extensibility.
