An auto level is an optical instrument used in surveying and construction to establish or verify points on the same horizontal plane. It is widely used for measuring height differences and setting heights accurately.
- Key Features and Uses:
- Purpose:
- Used to measure height differences and establish relative height levels in surveying and building.
- Utilized by contractors, builders, land surveyors, and engineers for consistent leveling.
- Ease of Use:
- Easy to set up and operate, saving time and money.
- Works in conjunction with a leveling staff to determine the relative height of objects or marks.
- Internal Mechanism:
- Equipped with an internal compensator mechanism that automatically adjusts the line of sight to remain horizontal.
- Reading Process:
- Readings on the staff are taken manually by the surveyor. The auto level ensures the line of sight remains horizontal, but the reading process is not automated.
- Leveling:
- Before taking any readings, the instrument must be leveled roughly using foot screws to enable the compensator mechanism to function within its range.
