Measuring angles

2. Align the level with point A.
3. Set the horizontal circle to “0“.
4. Align the level with point B.
5. Read off the horizontal angle between 

    point A and point B from the horizontal circle

Check the reticle 

1.  Set up the instrument and level it 

     between 2 levelling rods 

     (approximately 30m from each).
2. Align the instrument with measuring 

     point A and read off the figure A1 on 

     the measuring point.

∆h1 = A1-B1

Difference in height between the measuring points:

3. Align the instrument with measuring 

     point B and read off the figure B1 on 

     the measuring point.

Example: ∆h1 = 2,218 m - 1,950 m = 0,268 m

Checking the calibration

The OLS 26 level is designed for use on construction sites and was perfectly 

adjusted when it left our factory. As with any precision instrument, however, 

its calibration must be regularly checked. The unit should be checked before 

starting any new tasks, particularly when the unit has been exposed to strong 

vibrations. After an impact, the unit should be checked throughout its whole 

self-levelling range. 

1. Use the plumb-line to position the 

     level exactly over the angular point.
