What is the NivComp system?

NivComp is the first digital display, levelling instrument of its kind to let you work alone and even around corners, both Indoors & outdoors. It has an accuracy precision of better than +/-2mm and covers up to ± 2.5 metres vertically (or +/-4m with the supplied rods) over an area of 48 metres diameter. The handset's display resolution is 1mm.

It has advantages over using a conventional Rotating laser level in the following applications:

Where there is no line of sight ie. the Nivcomp system works around corners and from room to room. It works from floor to floor and in deep excavations too. It also displays results digitally on the handset display. Vertical measurements a displayed directly on a clear LCD, in large, easy to read digits - unlike conventional builder’s optical site levels (Dumpy levels) or rotary laser levels.

It’s an excellent system - very versatile and as in the applications described above, has big advantages over other, more conventional levelling methods. Also, it is very competitively priced versus the ZipLevel, at half its price.

Precision high-quality German design and engineering from the renowned Dirotec company.

An invaluable tool for both the Construction Trade & Garden Designers / Landscapers alike.

So how does a NivComp work?

The NivComp system consists of a hose reel with retractable handles, a stable long flexible hose (tube) and display handset. Inside the hose reel is a fluid container and a locking screw. The display handset contains a high-quality pressure measuring module & easy-to-read LCD.

Levels are very accurately determined by the pressure changes between the fluid container in the reel and the handset. The pressure changes result from the height difference between the handset and the fluid container.

The measuring principle is applicable to the entire horizontal and working range of the hose.

Applications allow blind level measurements over obstructions or without visual contact, eg around corners, between trenches or adjacent rooms, etc.

Also, it covers most applications to determine flatness and slope measurement.
