Full Description

The Topcon FC-6400 is built for surveyors and contractors who need desktop-grade power in a handheld device. As the successor to the widely used FC-6000, the FC-6400 features a significantly faster processor and increased memory, ensuring that large CAD files and complex 3D site models load instantly. Running on a Windows 10 or 11 Pro platform, it offers a familiar interface that integrates seamlessly with office workflows and cloud-based data management. Durability is at the heart of the FC-6400 design. It is tested to military standards (MIL-STD-810H) and carries an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand a two-metre drop and is completely sealed against water and dust. The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen is specifically engineered for site use, remaining responsive even when wet or when the operator is wearing gloves. Whether you are controlling a Topcon GT robotic total station or an HiPer series GNSS rover, the FC-6400 provides the robust connectivity and processing speed required to keep your project moving.
