Auto Levels AP / AC / AX Series – Reliable Accuracy for Everyday Field Work

The AP / AC / AX Series Auto Levels are built for surveyors, contractors, and engineers who need dependable performance, clear optics, and simple operation in real jobsite conditions. These instruments are easy to set up, comfortable to use all day, and rugged enough to handle regular field use.

With proven Nikon optical performance, you get bright, sharp images that make it easier to read the rod accurately—especially in low light or over longer distances. Whether you’re running grades, transferring elevations, or handling general construction layout, these auto levels are designed to get the job done efficiently and consistently.

Three Models to Fit Your Work

The AP / AC / AX Series offers three models so you can choose the magnification that best fits your typical applications:

• AP-8 – 28x magnification for longer sight distances and higher precision

• AC-2S – 24x magnification for versatile, all-around jobsite use

• AX-2S – 20x magnification for shorter runs and quick setups

All models focus down to 2.46 ft (0.75 m), which is especially useful when working in tight areas, near structures, or on steep slopes.

Simple Setup, Smooth Operation

These auto levels are designed to be straightforward and reliable. The magnetic-dampened automatic compensator quickly stabilizes the line of sight, helping maintain accuracy even when conditions aren’t perfect.

The horizontal tangent knobs rotate freely with no limits, allowing smooth, precise aiming from either side of the instrument. This makes fine adjustments easy and keeps work moving without frustration.

Built for Jobsite Conditions

The AP / AC / AX Series features a compact, lightweight design that’s easy to carry and quick to set up, along with water-resistant construction to handle dust, moisture, and changing weather. Each model mounts easily to flat-head or spherical-head tripods, so you can use the equipment you already have.

A detachable eyepiece lens allows for the use of an optional diagonal eyepiece prism, making it easier to work in close quarters or at steep angles where standard viewing can be awkward.
