What are the building levels, everyone knows who at least once in their life did repairs on their own at home. They are used in many works related to the construction of buildings or decoration of premises. So, for example, for laying walls or installing doors and windows, pouring floors and plastering walls, when installing drywall constructions and flights of stairs - this tool is everywhere needed. In the article we will consider a special type of this device - the electronic level. What is he and what are his advantages?
The electronic level is distinguished by more accurate measurements than bubble devices. Depending on the model, the digital level may be equipped with an acoustic sensor capable of beeping when the instrument is in the 0, 45 and 90 degrees position. This greatly facilitates the work of the builder. However, accuracy is not all the advantages of such a tool. The electronic level is able to replace not only a standard measuring device, but even a level. In general, this device is a multifunctional device with a large radius of action. The laser beam of the device is capable of operating at a distance of up to one hundred meters. The electronic level is used to build planes and directions. Some models have an optical system that can rotate the beam in a plane. There are also devices with two or more rays intersecting each other. One such tool can replace several common levels. Digital levels are simply indispensable for the installation of complex drywall constructions and inclined planes (flights of stairs , etc.), when at the same time it is necessary to “beat off” several planes at once from different angles. The advantage is that the builder has free hands, the device is mounted 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.
Today on the shelves of shops you can find many different levels of different brands. Consider the electronic level of Bosch. This is a very popular brand among manufacturers of such devices. So, Bosch company presents a digital level (inclinometer) of two sizes - 60 and 120 cm. These devices are characterized by a digital reference system with a wide measuring range, high accuracy, as well as increased speed. This device has a function for storing measurement results, 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 its manufacture is likely to 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 a home master, who from time to time is involved in minor repairs or construction. This device is able to greatly simplify the task.
