Description

Rugged and Dependability makes this David White LT8-300P five-minute instrument the first choice for almost every horizontal and vertical sighting application in construction. The sleek, compact, 26x telescope is engineered to protect against dirt, damage and costly repairs. The horizontal axis features a Trunnion Design for maximum rigidity. Within the protection of the rugged base, the wide-stance ball bearing center guarantees you smooth movement and superior alignment control. The level transit is lined up over a reference point by using an optical plummet, assuring you of precise positioning every time.

The telescope provides a sharp image magnified 26 times. This means the object sighted appears 26 times closer than it would with the naked eye. The telescope comes with a detachable sunshade which protects the objective lense and reduces glare.

David White 44-8871 Universal Level-Transit SIGHTING AND FOCUSING
Aim the telescope at the object and sight first through the notches on the top of the level vial. Look through the telescope and focus the crosshairs. Then bring the object into focus.

Rotate the instrument until the crosshairs are positioned on or near the target. Tighten the horizontal clamp and make final settings with the tangent to bring the crosshairs exactly on point.

When sighting through the telescope, keep both eyes open. You will find that this eliminates squinting, will not tire your eyes and gives the best view through the telescope. Reminder to avoid touching the tripod whole sighting.

David White 44-8871 Universal Level-Transit STADIA RETICLE
All David White Universal instruments have a glass stadia reticle with two additional horizontal lines for use in determining distance. Stadia ratio is 1:100, which indicates that the rod measurement between the upper and lower stadia lines multiplied by 100 is the distance from the center of the instrument to the rod.
