How is fluid displacement converted into digital height values in ZIPLEVEL?

The ZIPLEVEL altimeter transforms fluid displacement into digital height values using a patented hydrostatic technology. This system offers precise, real-time elevation readings, making it a reliable alternative to traditional laser levels for construction, landscaping, and surveying professionals throughout Europe.

Technical principles of ZIPLEVEL's fluid displacement measurement

ZIPLEVEL's unique design utilizes a pressurized fluid-filled hose connecting a measurement module to a reference base unit. Changes in fluid level, caused by shifting one end of the hose, directly correlate to differences in height. As the hose moves, the fluid pressure varies; this change is accurately detected by an integral pressure sensor within the instrument.

The digital circuitry within ZIPLEVEL converts these subtle pressure changes into precise numerical height values displayed on the instrument's screen, with resolutions typically reaching as fine as 0.2 mm. This approach ensures remarkable consistency and ease of use even on complex job sites. Many professionals select the ZIPLEVEL 24m BASIC for its reliability in diverse field conditions. This method eliminates errors caused by optical misalignments or weather interference, common pitfalls with other measurement systems.

• Digital conversion via integrated pressure sensors
• Immediate results displayed in millimeters, centimeters, or custom units

Is regular recalibration required for a ZIPLEVEL altimeter?

ZIPLEVEL altimeters are designed for long-term stability and typically require recalibration only after major repairs or in case of physical damage. For ongoing accuracy, operators should follow the maintenance instructions included with advanced precision altimeters.
