The V-300-series incorporates an electronic distance measurement module
(EDM) made for measurements to prisms or whenever needed for direct
measurement to objects up to a distance of 300m. With the Quick Measurement
Mode productivity is increased through a shorter initial measuring time to a
prism and or reflector sheet. This is effective up to distances of 500m. This makes
the Pentax V-300 Total Station a flexible measuring system that provides you
and your customers important cost savings.

key features
ADVANTAGES TO THE USER/OPERATOR
V-300 KEY FEATURES
• On-board memory of V-325: 16,000 points
On-board memory of V-325N/V-335N/V-323N: 30,000 points
• EDM accuracy: ± (2 + 2 ppm) on all models
• Reflectorless measuring up to 300 m
SIMPLE OPERATION
All functions are initiated from just five keys.
A function that keeps the operation intuitive
and logical. Easy-to-use alphanumeric keys
(10 keys) allow you to enter quickly specific
characters, numbers and other information.
LARGE MEMORY
The on-board memory of V-325 has 16,000
points. Other models have 30,000 measuring
points (XYZ) allowing you to handle efficiently
any measurement and inspection tasks.
Max. 2,000 measuring points (XYZ) can be
recorded in one job file.
The user can make up to 15 job files.
INNOVATIVE DUAL MODE EDM
MEASURING SYSTEM
No more obstacles on the construction site with
Pentax V-300. Simply select the desired laser
mode by striking one of the five function keys and
you can measure objects up to 300 meters away
without a prism.
RELIABLE DATA EXCHANGE
with DL-02
Information is exchanged via a standard RS232C
cable. DL-02 software supports all upload and
download between PENTAX surveying
instruments and PC’s. DL-02 allows direct
exchange of data from any software. It operates
under Windows™ 95, 98, 2000 & NT and Windows
XP. Data can be converted into the following
formats: Pythagoras files, DXF, JS-Info, TDS, SDR,
TAB separated ASCII, DC-1Z, 3 User Definable
Formats and various other accepted formats.
ON-BOARD SOFTWARE
POWERTOPOLITE
V-300 comes equipped with full-featured
PowerTopoLite software that helps you handle your
most difficult survey jobs. This powerful software
package features an easy-to-use operator interface
that guides you through all measuring jobs.
PowerTopoLite’s architecture provides open access
to a number of powerful integrated functions to
solve any advanced surveying application.
WATERPROTECTION
The V-300 complies with the most stringent
international industry standards. It is designed
and engineered to ensure accuracy and reliability
under the harshest work conditions,
at the same time protecting your investment.
(The degree of protection against dust and water
of the V-300 complies with the International
Protection standard IP55 defined following the
standard IEC 60529).
COMPACT FOR OPTIMAL PORTABILITY
The V-300 is compact and lightweight.
The standard configuration has everything you
need for a days work (excluding tripod and
prism), and fits into an easy to carry case.
