Recently introduced to the fixed NC4 range are the F95, F115 and F230 compact series, offering new performance standards in small packages, using the same transmitter and receiver units as the NC4 separate and modular fixed systems.
With all NC4 systems, precision optics are supplied as standard. These enable the compact series to achieve un-surpassed performance in a unit particularly suited to small machines and machines where space is at a premium.
