ETh 50 Routine Theodolite
Easy-to-use, robust, precise, and fast routine theodolite
built for the building site
Key features and
benefits
Rugged, tough, and
durable
Ease of operation
Coaxial slow motion and
clamps
25 hour power supply
Digital display with
selection
of different units
Error elimination
Automated measurement
routines
Surveying instruments need to be
reliable and fast, and they should
also be easy to operatejust like the
ETh 50 routine theodolite from the
Zeiss Elta line of Trimble
surveying systems. Key features
include:
Coaxial slow motion drive and
clamp for rapid pointing.
Easy-to-use menu driven
operationtraditional manual
settings made on optical
theodolites are replaced with a
simple button press or menu
function.
All measurement data can be
viewed on the 4 line display,
rapidly providing you with the
results that you need.
Electronics eliminate the errors
associated with traditional
theodolites. Because the
measurements are automated, timeconsuming tasks such as reading
the circles and reducing the data
are eliminated.
The tubular level (plate bubble) is
integrated into the instrument,
making it easy to level the
instrument.
From classical angle measurement,
setting out right angles and checking
plumb, right through to alignment
measurementsthe ETh 50 can do
it all.
The ETh 50 provides a high quality
all round theodolite for routine
measurements in and around the
construction site.
Angle measurementthe easy way
Electronic scanning of the horizontal
and vertical circles, with continuous
digital display of results,
considerably speeds up the
measurement process, and eliminates
reading and estimation errors.
Angle control at the press of a
button
The ETh 50 provides automatic
control over standard theodolite
functions:
Clockwise and counter-clockwise
angle measurement.
Zero setting of the horizontal
angle in any direction.
For classical angle measurements, setting out right angles, plumbing and alignment measurements.
Setting the horizontal circle to a
predefined bearing.
Conversion of the vertical angle to
percentage grade.
Definition of the zero direction of
the vertical angle system, covering
a variety of conventions and
applications including: zenith
angle, vertical angle, elevation
angle, and % slope.
All measurement units supported
The ETh 50 displays data in all
international measurement units,
and it allows you to select the
resolution:
Measurement system units: 360
DMS, 360 Decimal, 400
Grads/Gon, 6400 mils.
Display resolution: from 1"
(0.3mgon), 5" (1.5mgon), to 10"
(3 mgon).
Operating convenience
The ETh 50 has a clear keyboard
layout with just seven keys for the
control of all measuring functions.
The clearly arranged four-line
display is 24 characters wide and it
provides simultaneous display of all
measurement results, as well as the
options provided by the function
keys.
The display and reticle are
illuminated, providing easy
operation in poor conditions or
darkness.
A minimum sighting distance of
only 0.80m (2.62ft) ensures reliable
results even in confined spaces.
Measuring accuracy and reliablility
The ETh 50 provides automatic
correction for errors associated with
traditional theodolites, delivering
accurate results with fewer
observations. Errors eliminated
include:
Sighting axis error,
Index error, and
Collimation error
