Description

The iM-50 Series is the perfect entry-level site layout and survey tool offering reliability and flexibility without sacrificing cost or functionality.

The sleek design is built tough, with a water and dustproof IP66 rating, integrated Bluetooth® capability and an internal antenna, enabling you to deliver measurements cable-free to your data controller, streamlining your equipment weight and workflow. The iM-50 is also armed with a top line EDM, generous internal memory storage, and SDRbasic on-board software so you have everything you need to get the job done out in the field.

  • Integrated Construction and Survey Application Software 
  • Fast, accurate, and powerful EDM
  • Reflectorless up to 500m
  • Prism range up to 4,000 m
  • Advanced angle accuracy (2” or 5”)

Outstanding performance
Featuring a new EDM, the iM-50 series is fast, accurate, and powerful. In reflectorless mode, it measures up to 500 m at an incredible 2mm+2ppm accuracy, and has 1.5mm+2ppm accuracy when measuring up to 4,000 m to standard prisms.

Fast and powerful EDM
The iM-50 series gives you rapid and correct pinpointing with phase shift technology. The ultra-narrow EDM beam can precisely measure walls, corners, manholes on the road surface, even chain-link fences and tree branches. You get a rapid distance measurement of 0.9 seconds regardless of the object.

Easy data transfer
Powered with integrated Bluetooth capability and an internal antenna, the sleek design enables you to deliver measurements cable-free to your data controller. 

Rugged and waterproof
With an IP66 certification, the iM-50 series is guaranteed to protect against dust and be waterproof up to one meter. Its rugged  metal chassis and heavy duty handle stand up to even the toughest job sites. Truly an all-weather solution, the iM-50 series can operate in temperatures ranging from -20ºC to 60ºC.

Ready for the field
The iM-50 series has up to 50,000 points of internal memory, and can store an additional 32GB through the USB. And with the easy-to-use SDRbasic on-board software, you have everything you need to get the job done out in  the field
