What are building levels, everyone knows who at least once in his life did repairs on his own in his house. They are used in many works related to the construction of buildings or interior decoration. So, for example, for laying walls or installing doors and windows, pouring floors and plastering walls, when installing plasterboard structures and flights of stairs - this tool is needed everywhere. In the article we will consider a special type of this device - the electronic level. What is it and what are its advantages?
The electronic level is more accurate than bubble instruments. Depending on the model, the digital level may be equipped with an acoustic sensor capable of beeping when the instrument is at 0, 45 and 90 degrees. 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 evenlevel. 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 is able to turn the beam in a plane. There are also devices with two or more beams intersecting with each other. One such tool can replace several conventional levels. Digital levels are simply indispensable for the installation of complex plasterboard structures and inclined planes (stair flights, etc.), when it is necessary to “beat off” several planes at once at different angles at the same time. The advantage is that the builder has free hands, 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.
Today, on the shelves of stores you can find many different levels of different brands. Consider the Bosch electronic level. This is a very popular brand among manufacturers of such devices. So, 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 measurement range, high accuracy, and increased speed. This device has a function of storing measurement results, which is very convenient when using the device in hard-to-reachlocations.
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 will certainly exceed the cost of the finished device.
In conclusion, let's say that the digital level is simply necessary not only for a professional builder, but also for a home craftsman who from time to time is engaged in minor repairs or construction. This device can greatly simplify the task.
