Automatic Compensation for Faster, More Accurate Leveling
The DSA32-1 features a high-precision magnetic-damped automatic compensator that automatically establishes a horizontal line of sight after rough leveling. This significantly reduces setup time while eliminating errors caused by manual bubble adjustments.
High-Performance 32× Optics for Long-Distance Observation
Equipped with a 40 mm objective lens and 32× magnification, the DSA32-1 delivers bright, sharp images even under challenging lighting conditions. Fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission and image contrast for precise staff readings.
Survey More Than Elevation
Beyond height measurement, the DSA32-1 supports distance estimation using stadia lines and horizontal angle measurement via its integrated 360° graduated circle.
Engineered for Extreme Environments
Designed for professional outdoor surveying, the DSA32-1 maintains stable performance from -30°C to +50°C. Its sealed construction protects internal components from dust, moisture, and harsh weather conditions.
Rugged Construction for Demanding Field Operations
The IP54-rated housing protects the instrument from water splashes, dust ingress, and daily job-site impacts. A dedicated compensator lock safeguards sensitive internal components during transportation.
