These models self level via wire hung compensators. These are gravity pendulum leveling mechanisms that must be rough leveled. Once the instrument is in its self leveling range, the compensator makes sure that the beam is level. The term “automatic” derives from automatic optical levels which employ compensators for self leveling. These auto levels also have to be rough leveled. Servo motor leveling systems have a wider self leveling range and allow the user to turn the laser on without having to turn leveling screws.
