DET-2 Features and Benefits
• 2” angular accuracy - accurate enough for any
construction job, yet the display resolution can
be tailored to any operator’s preferences for fast
readings
• Vertical axis compensation - tilt sensor provides
the highest level of accuracy and can be turned
on or off depending on job requirements
• Dual LCD with large characters - easy to see
angle readings eliminate errors and reduces eye
fatigue
• Back-lit LCD and telescope reticle - allows work
in low light conditions including indoors and
extended hours near dawn and dusk
• Simple six button keypad - quick setups and
simple operation with low operator learning curve
• Large suite of programmable settings - provide
multiple options for various users and job
requirements including zero position of vertical
angle
• Measurement units in degrees, gon, or mils
• 90 degree angle audible notification - for quick
turning and set out of right angles
• Instant conversion of vertical angles to percent of
grade - convenient for slope work and when used
in conjunction with DialGrade
®
pipe work.
• NiMH rechargeable battery pack and charger -
lower operating cost with reusable batteries
• Alkaline battery pack standard - provides backup
and eliminates downtime if the charge is lost in
the middle of a job
• Battery status indicator - no power surprises and
allows for better planning
• Automatic shutoff - conserves battery life when
not in use - can be disabled if desired
• IP54 environmental rating - dust and water
resistance withstands the tough conditions of
the construction environment
