Description

The Nikon AP/AC/AX Series auto levels are easy to set up and use. All three models can attach to both flat-head and spherical-head tripods. Horizontal tangent knobs with an unlimited range ensure smooth, precise pointing and angular measurement, and you can operate them with either hand. The detachable eyepiece lens lets you use an optional diagonal eyepiece prism for working in extremely close or steep quarters. The Nikon® AP-8/AC-2S/AX-2S automatic levels from Tripod Data Systems™ (TDS) deliver a high level of accuracy and ease of use for a variety of civil engineering and construction applications. Compact and lightweight, they are also built rugged and water resistant, giving you reliable performance in light rain or dusty job sites. Nikon’s world-renowned optics provide brighter, clearer images and an improved minimum focusing distance for working in confined spaces. Plus, a built-in magnetic-dampened compensator automatically levels the line of sight.

Key Features:

• • • Double-sided, continuous horizontal tangent drives
    • Stadia lines for simple distance measurement
    • Convenient horizontal angle measurement
    • Built in bubble mirror and optical sighting alignments
    • Metal housing increases durability
    • Choice of water resistant or waterproof construction

See brighter, sharper images with improved minimum focusing
You’ll see the difference when you look through a Nikon automatic level. Nikon’s legendary optics effectively let in more light. The result is brighter, sharper images, especially in low-visibility conditions. You’ll see much more detail and much less distortion. Better optics help you aim more precisely, and they’re much easier on your eyes—something you’ll really appreciate on long workdays. The AP-8 features a 28x magnification telescope, while the AC-2S has a 24x telescope and the AX-2S has a 20x telescope. All three offer improved minimum focusing distance—now 2.46 ft (0.75 m) for better performance in tight spots and on steep slopes.

Rugged construction with built-in reliability
The AP-8, AC-2S and AX-2S are compact and light, weighing just 2.8 lbs (1.25 kg) each for convenient field use. Rugged, water-resistant construction lets you work in light rain or dusty conditions. All AP-8, AC-2S and AX-2S levels feature a built-in magnetic-dampened automatic compensator to level the line of sight. The compensation range is ±16′, with a setting accuracy of within ±0.5″

Easy to set up and use
The AP-8, AC-2S and AX-2S help you get to work quickly. All three models can attach to both flat- and spherical-head tripods. Horizontal tangent knobs have an unlimited range to ensure smooth, precise pointing and angular measurement, and you can operate them with either hand.
