The new DT500 and DT500A are the most versatile entry-level instruments you can buy. With an IP66 waterproof rating the DT500 and DT500A operate dependably even where conventional theodolites do not, such as sudden showers, continuous drizzling rain or the high humidity of underground construction sites.

The vertical and horizontal angles are electronically read and displayed on a large, easy to read, two-line LCD display. The automatic vertical circle indexing means you can achieve a level of accuracy not possible with other instruments in this price range. Additional features include:

Optical plummet which eliminates the need for a plumb bob
Percentage of slope or vertical angle display with the touch of a button
Angle readings are monitored by a self-checking microprocessor and displayed in less than .5 second
Read horizontal angles clockwise or counterclockwise: then lock with the hold/release key to hold angles
30x telescope with built-in reticle illumination.

The DT500 features displays on both side of the instrument: the DT500A has one display. Both instruments have selectable 5" or 10" read-outs with 5" angular accuracy

Their versatility and dependability let you finish the job quickly and accurately
