ACTIVE TRACK 360

TARGET

The Trimble® Active Track 360 Target is a 360° active target designed to be used for
robotic surveying.

The Trimble Active Track 360 Target has an integrated 360° active LED ring for
tracking and reflective foil for distance measurements.

The Trimble Active Track 360 Target is powered by a lithium-ion battery. For
permanent installations, it can also be powered via the connector by connecting to
an external power supply. The connector is also used if you need to update the target
firmware.

It is possible to select eight unique ID channels to ensure that the correct target is
tracked on a site where multiple targets are used.

The Trimble Active Track 360 Target is equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology.

Built-in tilt sensors offer the possibility for eBubble functionality, if supported by the
field software.

Press the On/Off button to turn on the target.

The target will stay powered on until you press the On/Off button to turn the target off
or if the battery is drained.

Battery low is indicated by a flashing LED for the currently selected ID channel.

Select the ID channel

Eight different ID channels can be selected for the Active Track 360 Target.

When the same ID channel selected on the target is selected in the field software, this
target is the only one that the instrument will lock on to and track.

To select the ID channel, press the ID channel selection button. The ID channel
selection steps up one channel for each press from 1 to 8. After ID channel 8 the
selection starts again at ID channel 1. It is also possible to select the ID channel from
the controller via Bluetooth wireless technology, if supported by the field software.

The selected channel is indicated by an LED.
