What is the maximum operating time on internal batteries?
4-5 hours of scanning is possible using the 4 internal batteries. It is possible to hot swap 2 by 2 in order to continue work without interruption. The batteries are the same as those found in many Topcon survey instruments. There is also an external 12v power supply option. What type of laser beam source is in the Topcon laser scanner? The GLS-1000/1500 is the only scanner available in its class that uses an eye-safe Class 1 laser. The invisible beam makes it completely acceptable to work in areas where there could be a risk to the public such as shopping centres, busy urban areas, academic institutions etc.
