After
focusing on the staff, just press one button. The DL-500 reads height and
distance, and stores data. Auto levels require you to read the graduations on
the staff with your own eye, but digital technology eliminates misreading and
reduces operator’s eye fatigue.
High
Accuracy! 0.6mm/0.8mm
Two
models are available for different accuracy requirements.
- DL-502:
0.6mm (Invar staff), 1.0mm (fiberglass staff)
- DL-503:
0.8mm (Invar staff), 1.5mm (fiberglass staff)
World’s
First “Wave-and-Read” Technology
Topcon
DL-500 series digital levels maximize work efficiency and minimize human error,
providing consistent measurement precision and speed, regardless of operator
skill.
Incorporating
cutting-edge Random-Bidirectional (RAB) coding technology, an optimized digital
processing algorithm, the DL-500 provides exceptional measurement accuracy,
stability and speed, under a variety of environmental conditions. Even when the
staff surface is partially shaded, or in dim lighting conditions as low as 20
lux, a single button triggers measurement and the DL-500 instantly provides
reliable results.
The
world’s first “Wave-and-Read” technology provides an additional survey style
option that allows a rod operator to wave the staff forward and back, instead
of keeping the staff plumb. This simpler method is faster, easier, minimizes
the fatigue and is just as accurate.
Pre-installed
measurement programs
Pre-installed
measurement programs assist various leveling tasks and accompanied
calculations. Internal memory stores field data, and can be directly
transferred to your computer via serial cable, eliminating human error.
- Elevation
- Calculates
elevation of foresight (FS) with reference to backsight (BS) elevation.
Elevation of the turning point (TP) is used for a new backsight, allowing
for consecutive leveling.
- Height
Difference
-
Automatically displays the height difference between backsight (BS) and
foresight (FS) in 0.1mm or 1mm (0.001ft. or 0.01ft.) unit.
- Cut
and Fill
- Cut
and fill stakeout routines facilitate slope work. Measurement can be taken with
0.1mm or 1mm (0.001ft. or 0.01ft.) resolutions.
- Ceiling
Height
- Two
measurements provide a ceiling height; one with a staff placed on the ground,
the other with an inverted staff put onto the ceiling. Ceiling elevation can
also be calculated with reference to the benchmark elevation.
Measures
Ceiling Height! Inverse Staff Reading
The
DL-500 can read the RAB-code staff in the inverted position.
This feature dramatically facilitates height measurement of ceilings, tree
branches, road signs, bridges, tunnel crowns, and other structures.
Internal
Memory and Easy Data Transfer!
DL-500
stores the data for up to 2,000 measurements.
DL TOOL software transfers data to your computer in CSV format, via serial
cable.
Maximum
Reliability! Field-proven Compensator
Incorporating
a field-proven pendulum compensator with magnetic damping system, the DL-500
provides the stability you need when working on busy roads or bridges subject
to vibrations.
Practical
Measurement Programs! No Need for Calculators
Onboard
programs support various measurement routines such as elevation, height
difference, ceiling height, as well as cut/fill and stakeout in horizontal
distance.
