Regardless of whatever angle you’re working or placing the level, reading the information from the level is made easy, with a dual LCD display on the top as well as the side. Each display is both large and illuminated to allow working in all lighting conditions.

And to suit your needs, the display offers readout information in °, %, mm/m, inch/ft. The HOLD function stores the measured values for when you are working in hard-to-see locations. Other functions on this level include REF function: The reference angle function allows an angle measurement to be accepted, saved and transferred to other components. KEY-LOCK: Keypad lock to protect against accidental activation of the keypad.

Along with the easy-to-use controls, the TECH 196 Dark Shadow also includes shock-absorbing end caps to protect the profile of the level. Even if the level should drop, there is no need to re-calibrate the level.
