CST/Berger 56-DGT10 5-Inch Digital Transit with Vertical Tilt Sensor

by CST/Berger

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Simple enough for the untrained construction worker yet still more sophisticated and accurate than conventional contractor-style transits, there’s no easier way to plumb walls, set slopes, true forms, or align poles and fence posts than with this digital transit. The transit instantly displays horizontal and vertical angles in bold digits on dual LCD screens on the front and back for easy reading. Rather than manually aligning vernier scales, the DGT-10 automatically measures horizontal and vertical angles using an incremental encoder detection system, making it so simple to operate that anyone at a construction site can use it without special training.

The DGT10 features 5-inch angular accuracy with a vertical tilt sensor that monitors the tilt angle in x-axis (horizontal) for accurate measurements every time. With 30-speed magnification and a 450-foot diameter-working range, the unit is ideal for larger worksites. Accuracy to 1/16 inches at 100 feet ensures precision work when projecting lines or plumbing columns and walls. The DGT10 displays the actual variance in true plumb and quickly and accurately turns back to plumb position.

Dual digital displays and a simple six-key interface make the instrument very simple and easy to use. The DGT10 includes an optical plummet for aligning vertical points for positioning columns, building stairs or decks, or aligning framing. A 30-speed telescope has a minimum focus of 53 inches for work up close. A boon for landscapers and pavers, the DGT10 also features a 1:100 stadia ratio, which, along with the 450-foot working range helps quickly estimate long distances in the field.

More great features include: state-of-the-art glass encoder, 5-second horizontal and vertical readout, auto power-off option, optical plummet, zero resetting, water resistant, sealed construction, removable tribrach for multiple set-ups, built-in battery pack that attaches and detaches by a single action. --Brian D.
