Sokkia iM-100 Series Manual Total Station 1"-5"

Data Sheet

Overview

The Sokkia iM-100 Series Total Station is a high-performance manual total station designed for professionals who need greater range, accuracy, and durability than entry-level instruments. Positioned above the iM-50, the iM-100 delivers enhanced EDM performance, longer measurement distances, and advanced features for more demanding survey and construction applications.

With reflectorless measurement up to 800 m (2,624 ft) and prism distances up to 5,000 m (16,404 ft), the iM-100 provides the capability needed for larger sites and more complex layouts. It also offers angle accuracy options from 1″ to 5″, making it suitable for higher-precision control and layout work.

Built with Sokkia’s proven durability and long battery life, the iM-100 is designed to handle tough jobsite conditions while maintaining consistent, reliable performance.

Built for Higher Performance Surveying

The iM-100 series is ideal for professionals who need more capability than a standard entry-level total station. With improved measurement range and accuracy, it is well-suited for:

• Construction layout and staking
• Control point establishment
• Boundary and cadastral surveying
• Topographic surveys on larger sites
• Infrastructure and roadwork projects

The advanced EDM system delivers faster measurements with high precision, helping crews work more efficiently across longer distances and more demanding environments.

Key Features

• Reflectorless measurement up to 800 m (2,624 ft)
• Prism measurement up to 5,000 m (16,404 ft)
• Angle accuracy options from 1″ to 5″
• Dual-axis compensator for stable measurements
• Rugged IP66 dustproof and waterproof construction
• Up to 28 hours of battery life in Eco mode
• Internal memory for up to 50,000 points
• USB support for up to 32GB external storage
• Bluetooth connectivity for wireless data transfer

The iM-100 also includes onboard survey and construction software, allowing crews to perform layout, coordinate measurement, stakeout, and more directly from the instrument.

Software Compatibility

The Sokkia iM-100 Series integrates with many of the most widely used field software platforms. Using standard Topcon and Sokkia communication protocols, the instrument connects to external data collectors via cable or Bluetooth.

Compatible field software includes:

• Topcon Field / MAGNET Field
• Carlson SurvPC
• Carlson SurvCE
• MicroSurvey FieldGenius
• Leica Captivate (manual workflows)
• Trimble Access (generic drivers)
• MAGNET Field Layout
• Pocket 3D

This flexibility allows crews to integrate the iM-100 into existing workflows without changing software platforms.

iM-50 vs iM-100 Series

While both the iM-50 and iM-100 are reliable manual total stations, the iM-100 is designed for users who need greater performance and capability.

iM-50 Series:

• Reflectorless up to 500 m (1640 ft)
• Prism range up to 4,000 m (13,123 ft)
• Angle accuracy options are 2″ or 5″
• Best suited for general construction and entry-level surveying

iM-100 Series:

• Reflectorless up to 800 m (2,624 ft)
• Prism range up to 5,000 m (16,404 ft)
• Angle accuracy options from 1″ to 5″
• Higher accuracy EDM and longer range performance
• Better suited for control work and larger job sites

For crews working on larger projects or requiring higher precision, the iM-100 offers a clear upgrade in both range and performance.

Rugged Design Built for the Field

The iM-100 is engineered to perform in harsh job-site environments. With an IP66 rating, it is protected against dust and water and can operate in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, with optional low-temperature models available for colder conditions.

Its durable construction, long battery life, and reliable performance make it a dependable tool for surveyors and construction professionals working in challenging conditions.
