PENTAX Models AL-320S, AL-320, AL-270 & AL-240 Premium Auto Levels

This AL series of automatic level features a waterproof (JIS class 6) and nitrogen filled objective lens compartment which prevents moisture condensation on the lenses. The AL 240, 24 power, features a short (12 inch) focus distance. The AL-320S features dual speed focus and an enclosed glass horizontal circle.

A special model, the AL-320P (available USA only), has all the features of the AL-320 plus dual speed focus. 

Premium AL series are accurate, easy-to-use automatic levels offering high performance for a wide variety of level applications.  All models feature a waterproof (JIS class 6) and nitrogen filled objective lens compartment, which prevents moisture condensation on the lenses. The AL 240 and AL-270 feature a short (12 inch) focus distance. The AL-320p has dual speed focus and the AL-320s features dual speed focus and an enclosed glass horizontal circle.

Telescope: Erect image with an analectic optical system. The resulting image is sharp and has high contrast, a traditional quality of PENTAX optics.  Easy aiming with the open gun sight (AL-240 & 270) or optical collimator (AL-320S, 320P & 320) locates the target quickly and places it well within the field of view.

Automatic Compensator: Precise compensator, with special alloy ribbon, which provides extremely stable survey results even under unfavorable conditions such as vibration. The image is stabilized by a strong magnetic field but is not effected by any surrounding magnetic force.

Horizontal Circle:  All models, except the AL-320S, have a graduated horizontal circle with graduation marks every degree.  There are also index marks at every 90° for convenient right angles.  The metal circle is enclosed for protection of the precise graduations.

Horizontal Circle (320S):  The AL-320S has a precision glass circle which is graduated every 10 minutes.  The circle is read through a 18x microscope for angle estimation down to 1 minute.

Dual Speed Focusing:  The AL-320S and the AL-320P have regular speed focusing plus an extra-fine focusing speed.  Sharp object focus can be attained in less time with this system.

Optical Micrometer:  The SM4 micrometer set (SM1 + PC7) can be used with the AL-320, AL-320P and the AL-320S.  The micrometer is available in three different graduations:  Inch (SM4i), foot (SM4f) and metric (SM4m).

Setting Up:  Can be mounted on flat or domed head tripods and have quick acting leveling screws for fast and easy setup.

Short Focus:  A level rod or target can be focused from only 12 inches with the AL-240 or AL-270.  The AL-320S, AL-320P and AL-320 focus to only 20 inches.  Tight jobs are no problem at all.

Color:  The top of the level is bright orange for high visibility on the job site.
