With Trimble Access onboard, users can now take
advantage of optional specialized modules that
help streamline common application workflows.
The Trimble Access Roads module adds powerful
tools to simplify road stakeout projects. The step-bystep approach guides users with minimal training,
providing all the tools at your fingertips to complete
a road stakeout job.
The Trimble Access Tunnels module provides an easy
to follow workflow that guides users through tasks
such as marking areas of under- and overbreak with
the laser pointer of the Trimble M3. The graphical
interface provides a clear view of as-designed versus
as-built conditions.
The Trimble Access Land Seismic module is designed
to simplify seismic stakeout work to increase speed
and reduce errors. The easy-to-follow workflow uses
common naming conventions for stakeout points
and the unique bin-based navigation functionality
ensures that operators get to the next stake
location quickly.
Each M3 instrument comes standard with integrated
wireless Bluetooth® connection. Through this
connection, users can control the instrument using
Trimble Access field software running on an external
controller. This allows the M3 to be used seemlessly
right along with other Trimble equipment on the
job site.

Ergonomic controls plus an integrated screen and
keyboard streamline and simplify your inputs.
With its bright, colorful QVGA touchscreen running
Microsoft® Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 operating
system, the Trimble M3 display optimizes the graphical-rich
features of Trimble Access with improved readability and
menu navigation. Graphical staking of points, lines, arcs
and alignments is available with the Active Maps feature.

Designed to Keep You Moving
Due to its small and lightweight design, the Trimble M3
is quick and easy to move around the job site. Each
instrument comes with the choice of internal optical
or laser plummet making for convenient known point
setups. The system ships in a rugged and compact
hard-shell transport case so it is easy to transport to and
from the job site.
With two hot-swappable, long life batteries included,
the Trimble M3 is capable of up to 26 hours of
continuous operation. This offers users the ability to
quickly replace a battery while continuously working
when power is getting low, without shutting down.

Trimble M3 DR 5" W
For users working in cold temperatures, the Trimble
M3 DR 5" Winterized version is specially designed for
use in low temperature conditions. When in use during
extreme low temperatures, the rear display heater will
switch on automatically at temperature around –15°C.
