In modern construction, a variety of equipment is often used when leveling surfaces. Initially, water levels were used before, but the main drawback of such an instrument was that the liquid can behave differently from temperature differences, and accuracy is lost. So the need came to apply laser levels, the so-called levels.
Kapro 862 Laser Level
This level is a self-leveling professional level. It has two working laser planes (both vertical and horizontal). The presented level has the ability to work both in self-leveling mode and in marker mode with appropriate fastening when using a pendulum. The main distinguishing feature of the Kapro 862 laser level from other earlier models is the use of magnets on the rear side, which are used to fix the level to metal surfaces. It is also possible to use specialized Velcro for fixation.
Direct control of the Kapro laser level planes is done using the button located on the level housing on top. When operating in the self-leveling mode, when the ranges are exceeded, the laser planes blink and the level signal on the level above. This level is an inexpensive and accurate instrument for working mainly indoors. There is the possibility of using a tripod for leveling on a tripod. For this, a thread is present at the level.
Main characteristics
The presented level has two operating modes of laser planes: horizontal and horizontal, together with vertical. The display range of the laser plane is 20 m with an accuracy of 0.3 mm. The deployment angle of the laser plane is 120 ° with a self-leveling range of up to 2 ° C. Self-leveling time is up to 5 seconds.
The laser beam has an accuracy class of 2, with a wavelength of 630 to 650 nm. Performance protection class is IP54. To power the laser level using two AA performance batteries. They are not included. The duration of continuous operation is 20 hours. The range of operating temperatures is from -10 to +45 ° C, with the requirement for storage conditions from -20 to +50 ° C. Weight with batteries up to 350 g.
Application features
The Kapro 862 laser level is mainly used for indoor applications. Although the characteristics of its use at temperatures up to -10 ° C. Additional convenience is attached to the use of magnets for mounting on metal surfaces, as well as the use of a special tripod.
Using this laser level, workers can install door structures, as well as install window groups. It becomes possible to fix suspended and suspended ceilings, install shelves and frames at home, as well as paintings. This level is also used for tiling surfaces. The additional convenience in the course of application is given by the non-breaking shockproof case.
Judging by the numerous reviews, this level is common and convenient for a variety of construction works both inside and outside the premises.
