It has never been easier to determine the height or height difference between points than with the advent of digital leveling systems. For land surveyors and construction professionals, a digital level produces an accurate reading of graduated marks on a leveling rod. Save time, money, and headaches all while storing a large amount of data without having to write it down.
A digital level is a standard tool used in land surveying projects. Land surveyors use them to perform advanced and automatic height calculations on the job site. Measure the height difference between two points, measure an angle or slope, keep your structure level and plumb, and determine the height of a structure.
Digital levels can perform a variety of fast and automatic calculations including calculating:
Digital levels include a magnifying lens and telescope which varies by model. They are mounted on top of a tripod base, which can rotate 360 degrees for measuring the entire span of your land. Capture angles and determine level and slope positions, as well as different calculations in the vast internal memory remotely.
Digital levels are easy to use on the job site. Simply set up the tripod and mount the level with the tripod screw. Stand behind the device, and level the level with the bubble level by looking down through the bubble mirror. An automatic compensator with magnetic damping capabilities automatically maintains a level line of sight.
Press the power button, aim the staff, adjust the focus, and with the press of a button measure height and distance. The level shines a beam evenly over the length of the staff and reads the barcode from the graduated rod, thereby, completely reducing the risk of human error. Barcode measurements are automatically visible and stored on the device.
Digital levels make it easy to interpret the readings through LCD readouts. In addition, some advanced digital levels can emit an audible note when level and plumb or when the battery is running low.
These devices can provide precision under all conditions. Whether it is dimly-lit or the staff surface is partially shaded, these electronic devices can help land surveyors cut down on measuring time.
When choosing the right level for you, there are many factors to consider. Generally, digital levels are accurate, easy to use, and rugged enough to handle the demands of the worksite. Here are a few factors to consider when investing in a hi-tech electronic level.
Whether you are measuring the slope of a pipe or wheelchair ramp, electronic digital levels ensure every installation is level and plumb. Each type of level has different features and varies in price, function, durability, accuracy, speed, among many other factors.
