The precise level was made in 1953, at the time when the first compensating levels appeared, and is one of the most precise levels with a levelling toric level available. The coincidence levelling toric level is located in the telescope housing and is observed through the eyepiece of the telescope. The instrument also has an optical micrometer with a plane parallel plate, with the graduation unit of the micrometer division being 0.05 mm. The instrument's telescope has 44x magnification. The crosshairs take the form of the crosshairs of precise levels, with wedges at both ends, triple on the left and double on the right. This allows optimum sighting of the division lines at different staff distances. The precision of the level is 0.4 mm for 1 km double-run levelling, as its name suggests.

The instrument is in excellent condition, as it was when it was originally taken out of service.
