Electronic level: description, purpose

What are the building levels are known to everyone who at least once in his life did self-repair at home. They are used in many works related to the erection of buildings or the decoration of premises. So, for example, for laying walls or installing doors and windows, pouring floors and plastering walls, installing gypsum boards and staircases - this tool is needed everywhere. In the article we will consider a special kind of this device - the level of electronic. What is it and what are its advantages?

The electronic level differs by more accurate measurements than bubble devices. Depending on the model, the digital level can be equipped with an acoustic sensor capable of delivering an audio signal when the instrument is in the 0, 45 and 90 degree position. This greatly facilitates the work of the builder. However, accuracy is not all the merits of such a tool. The electronic level can replace not only a standard measuring instrument, but even a level. In general, this device is a multifunctional device with a large range of action. The laser beam of the device is able to operate at a distance of up to 100 meters. The electronic level is used to construct planes and directions. Some models have an optical system that is able to unfold a beam in a plane. Also there are instruments with two or more rays intersecting each other. One such tool can replace several ordinary levels. Digital levels are simply indispensable for the installation of complex gypsum plaster structures and inclined planes (ladder marches , etc.), when simultaneously it is necessary to "repulse" several planes at different angles at once. The advantage is that the builder hands free, the device is installed on a special tripod, and the laser beam independently determines the plane. As a result, the master can work without being distracted by constant measurements.

To date, on the shelves of shops you can meet many different levels of different brands. Consider the electronic level of Bosch. This is a very popular brand among manufacturers of similar devices. For example, Bosch presents a digital level (inclinometer) of two sizes - 60 and 120 cm. These devices are characterized by a digital reference system with a wide range of measurement, high accuracy, and also high speed. In this device, the function of storing the measurement results is provided, which is very convenient when using the device in hard-to-reach places.

If you want to assemble such a device yourself, then the electronic level diagram is shown in the photo below. However, this is a rather complex device that requires additional calibration. The cost of manufacturing it will certainly exceed the cost of the finished device.

In conclusion, we say that the digital level is simply necessary not only for a professional builder, but also for the home master, who occasionally engages in minor repairs or construction. This device can significantly simplify the task.
