Manufactured for use with total stations. The instrument security cage is fabricated from Aluminium and Stainless steel with custom fittings for mounting with a control post, Control Pyramid, and wall bracket systems. The cage has a fixed bottom plate with countersunk holes so that once fitted to its mounting it cannot be removed as the tribrach of the total station covers the cage mounting screws. Additional holes in the base plate allow fitting of the tribrach operation inhibitor TachyLOK device.
It will remain resilient and withstand freeze-thaw conditions without loss of adhesion for years. Excellent impact resistance, long term bonding, easy application, and low cost make it the choice for most applications. Proven performance since 1983.
The instrument security cage is tall enough to also have an AD12 self-leveling tribrach safely and securely mounted within its enclosure allowing for the total station to be mounted above.
Due to the bespoke nature of total station installation and the site requirements for varying observational heights to prisms the upper ring can be installed at custom heights as defined by the end-user by sliding the horizontal ring on the vertical bars, then fixing with grub screws to lock it into place securely. This then enables the telescope to be free of obstructions on the horizontal plane of the ring. Additional vertical bars of hardened stainless steel have been installed in this 64100 cage and the padlocks have been upgraded following customer feedback to prevent tampering.
The 64100 cage also has a female 5/8” threaded hole in its base plate to enable the use of a semi-captive cap screw to be fitted clamping the tribrach of the total station. Due to its circular face, the cap screw then cannot be rotated and thus the tribrach cannot be removed whilst the total station is mounted.
Note that this is a theft-deterrent system and not theft prevention. It is always recommended to use PIN codes with total stations.
