Nikon's Nivo Total Station is available in two exciting lines: the

Nivo C Series and Nivo M Series.
The Nivo series instruments are the absolute leaders for go
anywhere measurement tools. Compact in size and lightweight,
they are convenient to carry over long distances. All Nivo models
feature legendary Nikon high clarity optics, allowing clearer images
in bright and low light conditions, making measurements easy and
reducing eye stress.
The fast, long range EDM measures in both prism and reflectorless
modes. Make reflectorless measurements precisely to objects up to
500 m (1,640 ft) away.*
Nivo models come standard with a traditional optical plummet
which can be upgraded to a laser plummet. All Nivo C Series
instruments include LumiGuide for stakeout assistance.

* Objects with high reflectivity (90%).

 Auto Levels
Three models to choose from:
AP-8/AC-2S/AX-2S
Compact and lightweight
Water-resistant construction
Magnetic-dampened
automatic compensator
Horizontal tangent knobs
with unlimited range
Smooth, precise pointing and
angular measurement
Detachable eyepiece lens

AP/AC/AX Series auto levels are easy to set up and use. All three
models can attach to both flat- and spherical-head tripods.
Horizontal tangent knobs with an unlimited range ensure smooth,
precise pointing and angular measurement, and you can operate
them with either hand. The detachable eyepiece lens lets you use
an optional diagonal eyepiece prism for working in extremely close
or steep quarters.
Nikon optics effectively let in more light, so you see brighter,
sharper images-especially in low-light conditions. The AP-8 model
auto level features a 28x high-magnification telescope, the AC-2S
has a 24x telescope, and the AX-2S has a 20x telescope. All three
models offer minimum focusing down to 2.46 ft (0.75 m) for better
performance in tight spots or on steep slopes.

Powerful telescopes with
improved minimum focusing
Carrying case, adjusting pins
and lens cap included

Nikon AS/AE Series auto levels feature waterproof, nitrogen-filled,

high-power telescopes that help you make precise measurements
even in the wettest conditions. They feature a unique automatic
air-dampened compensator to prevent magnetic interference, and
an endless horizontal fine drive to ensure smooth, precise pointing
and angular measurement. AS/AE Series auto levels are easy to set
up and easy-to-use. All four models can attach to both flat- and
spherical-head tripods, and the standard optical sight lens helps
you find your target quickly, easily and accurately. A mirror with
a pentaprism lets you view the circular bubble as an erect image
during setup and sighting.
