LaserLine Direct Reading Laser Version Grade Cut/Fill Rod 15 foot

Direct Reading, or True Elevation (also known as Lenker style) is a Grade Rod with a moveable tape face
allowing you to set the actual benchmark elevation, or any elevation, above or below the bench into the
rod. The actual true elevation above sea level is read on these rods, thus eliminating errors caused by adding
or subtracting. Since no math is involved, grade shots are much faster than conventional style rods.
On most jobsites, the bench elevation is typically established by survey, and all elevations on that project are
above that or below primary bench elevation.

EXAMPLE:
In the USA, these elevations are typically represented in feet, tenths and hundredths of a foot as per the example.
Read on rod as
Bench Elevation: 2352.50 2.50
Bldg. A Footing Elevation: 2351.50 1.50
Bldg. B Finish Floor Elevation: 2353.85 3.85
Catch Basin #12: 2349.28 9.28

Laser Version Direct Reading/
True Elevation Rods For use with a laser detector. There is a special rail slide and Laserline detector bracket that lets the laser detector travel the full working length of the rod. This allows faster and easier readings because it takes the awkwardness out of having to loosen the detector, move the detector, then tighten the detector for each reading.
