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.
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.
