Fieldbook Economical, Fully Integrated Single-Frequency GPS Survey Unit Operations optimized with Trimble Digital Fieldbook The 4600 LS™ GPS receiver is a cost-effective L1 GPS survey instrument for productive control, topographic and GIS surveys. The 4600 LS can be used effectively for static, L1 FastStatic, and kinematic surveys over short to moderate baselines. The operation of the 4600 LS is optimized with the use of the Trimble® Digital Fieldbook software running on the Trimble Recon™ controller.
Portable The 4600 LS is extremely portable and very simple to use. The GPS receiver, antenna and C-cell batteries are integrated into a single unit weighing only 1.7 kg (3.7 lb). For postprocessed surveys, no external batteries or cables Key Features are required. The unit features one-button operation, and three LED indicators let you easily monitor your entire and Benefits survey. The 4600 LS runs on less than 1 W of power consumption • Survey data stored in job files: Review the details of • High productivity at an and uses standard C-size batteries.
