Frequently Asked Questions — Spectra Precision Focus 35

What is the Spectra Precision Focus 35 angular accuracy?

The Focus 35 delivers 5-arc-second (1.5 mgon) angular accuracy, appropriate for construction layout, topographic surveys, and boundary surveys where sub-second accuracy is not required.

What field software does the Focus 35 run?

The Focus 35 runs Spectra Precision SurveyPro software on the onboard controller. SurveyPro supports point storage, stakeout, traverse, and area calculation. The Focus 35 can also communicate with an external Ranger 7 data collector via Bluetooth.

What is the reflectorless EDM range on the Focus 35?

The Focus 35 measures distances reflectorlessly to 300 meters on a white target surface. Reflectorless accuracy is ±(5mm + 3ppm). For distances beyond 300m, use a prism for accurate measurements.

Is the Focus 35 a robotic total station?

No — the Focus 35 is a conventional (manual) total station. An operator must manually aim the telescope at each target. For robotic one-person operation, Spectra Precision offers the Focus 50 robotic model.

What prisms work with the Spectra Precision Focus 35?

The Focus 35 is compatible with standard 60mm prisms (Leica-compatible), mini prisms, and 360-degree round prisms. A prism constant offset of 0.0mm applies to Spectra P-series prisms. Verify prism constant when using third-party prisms.
