STABILA electronic spirit level Tech 196 DL, 183 cm length, model 19824

The STABILA electronic spirit level Tech 196 DL is a 183 cm long precision level combining a rigid aluminium profile with electronic angle measurement. Designed to provide clear numeric readouts for horizontal, vertical and inclined positions, this model is intended for trades that need accurate leveling across long spans. The integrated electronics supplement the classic vial readings and enable quick verification of straightness, alignment of installations and transfer of angles on-site.

Advantages

The long 183 cm profile gives extended reference length for reliable straightness checks and alignment over large surfaces. Electronic measurement provides numeric angle values and improves repeatability compared with visual reading alone. The robust aluminium construction resists bending and maintains accuracy under typical site conditions. The combination of traditional vials and digital display supports different working preferences and simplifies tasks that require both coarse and fine adjustment.

Suitable for

• Construction site layout and level checks over long spans
• Installation of windows, doors and large frames
• Carpentry and joinery for aligning cabinets, worktops and panels
• Plumbing and HVAC alignment where consistent slope or pitch is required

Key specifications

• Length: 183 cm profile for extended reference
• Measurement types: horizontal, vertical and angle/inclination
• Display: electronic numeric readout combined with traditional spirit vials
• Material: rigid aluminium profile for dimensional stability
• Typical use environment: construction, installation and carpentry

How to use

Place the level on the surface to be checked so that the profile rests stably against the workpiece. For horizontal or vertical checks, align the profile and read the vial and the electronic display. For angle measurement, position the level on the desired plane and observe the numeric inclination value on the digital display. Use the aluminium edges as a straight reference for marking or transferring alignment across the span. When moving from one point to another, re-seat the level and re-check to ensure consistent readings along the surface.

Usage recommendations

Store the level flat or hanging to avoid profile deformation; avoid impacts and prolonged exposure to moisture. Check battery condition before critical measurements and recalibrate according to the manufacturer's instructions if accuracy seems compromised. Clean the contact edges regularly to ensure correct seating on work surfaces.
