Introducing the new SDL1X Digital Level with 0.2mm Precision August 2009 Capelle a/d IJssel, The Netherlands, August 2009, SOKKIA BV, European head office proudly announces the release of the SDL1X - a new digital level SDL1X and designed to achieve the highest precision and productivity in leveling and height measurement applications. From Intelligent Auto Focus to wireless operation, a number of innovative technologies are implemented for unmatched productivity while eliminating error factors during measurement. The SDL1X sets the ultimate benchmark in precision digital levels. Features Eight industry’s first features 0.2mm precision (ISO17123-2) Auto Focus for high-end digital level View Finder for quick sighting Remote Trigger for wireless operation Dual-axis tilt sensor that ensures precision SD card slot for data storage 100m (320ft.) Bluetooth® wireless communication Staff with ±0.1ppm/°C linear expansion coefficient 0.2mm precision The SDL1X achieves 0.2mm precision when used with the SOKKIA original New Super-Invar RAB-Code Staff BIS30A that features the industry’s lowest linear expansion coefficient of ±0.1ppm/°C. Standard Invar Staffs provide 0.3mm precision. Saving up to 40% of time The "Auto Focus" and the quick sighting "View Finder" reduce measurement time by up to 40 percent compared to manual focus digital levels. Intelligent Auto Focus SDL1X automatically focuses exclusively on the RAB-Code Staffs, increasing productivity by eliminating false focusing on undesirable objects. Precise auto focus eliminates loss of accuracy due to incomplete focusing. Manual focusing is possible without switching modes by simply rotating the focusing knob that supersedes the auto focus. Measurement and Recording Programs Onboard software supports height difference measurement and data recording in the following procedures: BF, BFFB, BBFF, BFBF, aBF, aBFFB, aFBBF Measurement tolerance can be set in each route for on-site accuracy checks.
