Description

Kern E20 Electronic Sub-Second Theodolite Survey Instrument w/ Case No PSU

Swiss-made electronic theodolite for precision angle measurement in surveying and optical alignment work. Measures horizontal and vertical angles with sub-second accuracy across multiple unit systems.

Specifications & What's Included

  • Angular accuracy: Sub-second resolution
  • Circle graduation: 360°, 400 gon, 6400 mil selectable
  • Display units: Feet or meter selectable
  • Aluminum cast U-frame construction
  • Solid-state electronics, no internal RAM or batteries
  • Controls: INDEX dial, COMP ON/OFF switch, LAMP/INDEX switch, leveling knobs
  • Mounting: Standard tribrach / tripod-mounted
  • Original orange hard carrying case with aluminum latches included

Applications

Theodolites of this type are used in land surveying, construction layout, geodetic work, and optical alignment applications. The Kern E20 integrates electronic readout with traditional optical theodolite design, compatible with standard surveying tripods and tribrachs. Historically used where sub-second angle measurement was required without modern total station systems.

Condition: Used
The Kern E20 Electronic Sub-Second Theodolite is a precision survey instrument in used condition. The olive-green painted body is intact with light handling marks consistent with field use, the telescope optics are clean and clear, and all leveling footscrews and control knobs operate freely. The illuminated scale windows are present and functional. The original orange hard carrying case with aluminum latches is included in serviceable condition with normal surface wear. This unit is ready for professional surveying applications.
