Does the CAL32 use a magnetic-dampened compensator, and what is its adjustment range?

The CAL32 is equipped with a magnetic-dampened compensator, offering a high level of precision even in challenging field conditions. Its adjustment range typically covers ±15 minutes, allowing surveyors to maintain consistent accuracy on uneven terrains or vibrating surfaces.

Technical Details of the CAL32 Magnetic-Dampened Compensator

The use of a magnetic-dampened compensator in the CAL32 is crucial for maintaining level accuracy in topographic surveying. This compensator, standard among professional-grade optical levels, rapidly stabilizes the line of sight and minimizes disruptions caused by minor shifts or vibrations. The adjustment range of approximately ±15' (minutes) ensures the instrument remains functional and precise within typical construction tolerances. For users seeking a comprehensive selection of surveying equipment meeting high standards of quality and reliability, understanding these core features is essential.

How does a magnetic-dampened compensator work in the CAL32?

This compensator uses magnetic forces to quickly return the telescope to a horizontal orientation after disturbances. This results in stable and repeatable measurements, which is especially valuable on construction sites where constant vibration can affect less advanced systems. For demanding projects requiring precise elevation measurements, such as those managed with devices like the Leica GS07 GPS receiver, the CAL32’s system ensures optimal reliability.

Choosing Quality Survey Instruments with MeasureTools

Professionals across Europe trust MeasureTools, a subsidiary of ETL, for their expertise in altimetry and surveying instruments. The company’s in-depth understanding of the industry allows them to advise on the best solutions, whether selecting a new CAL32, arranging rental equipment, or ensuring proper calibration. For example, on large construction sites, combining rotating lasers such as the Topcon RLH5A with LS80 receiver with optical levels can further enhance accuracy and productivity.

Can the CAL32 compensator remain accurate on vibrating or unstable surfaces?

Yes, the magnetic-dampened compensator of the CAL32 is specifically designed to withstand moderate vibrations and ground movement, ensuring the device remains reliable in real construction and survey environments.
