Product Overview

The Fukuda FRE-203XR is accurate, well-featured and competitively priced. It replaces the extremely reliable Fukuda FRE-301R, to which it shares many of its internal components. It builds upon this foundation to incorporate many new features and improvements. This is currently the only model in the Fukuda range which is extremely robust, having a drop-test specification of 1 metre onto concrete. The top glass "lighthouse" is protected by a metal die-cast cover whilst a robust roll cage adds increased durability.

It's a professional laser level kit from the Fukuda Laser Company. They are specialists in their field of laser level manufacture & certified to ISO-9001.

The FRE-203XR quickly auto levels to set horizontals, verticals and 90-degree site squaring. An invaluable feature.

In addition, this laser can be switched to Manual mode where the spinning beam can set a grade (fall) in the X-axis, Y-axis or both together (dual grade).

You can only grade match with this system and not key in a value, however, it will set up to a 1:11.1 (9%) grade.

Note: If you need a True Grade laser (where you key in grade values), see model FRE-203XT.

Detector choices for the FRE-203XR include the standard Fukuda RLR100plus detector for outdoor/general use or the Fukuda RLR200D where a mm / inch display is required.

Features

For Indoor & Outdoor use with a 635nm, class II red laser

Sealed waterproof construction (IP66)

Self-levelling both horizontally & vertically

Up and Down dot for setting Plumb & groundworks squaring

Accurate 3 axis electronic sensor

One metre drop test specification onto concrete

IR control via handheld Remote

Anti-Drift system (Bump sensor)

Dual Grade & SCAN facility

Auto shut-off - if instrument goes outside of its levelling range

Low battery indication

Rechargeable battery system

3 Year Automatic Warranty

You have the facility to totally stop or move the red dot slowly in either direction using the remote control. The rotational speed is adjustable in 4 increments up to max. of 600 rpm.

For Indoor use, the SCAN facility comes into its own. This enables the User to stop the dot, then make it oscillate as a short intense red line in one area of the room only. Left/right keys on the remote control moves this laser line to the exact area of working. A really useful feature.

DUAL Axis Grading

You can keep XX axis auto level, whilst setting a Grade (tilt angle) on the YY axis. This is helpful for setting falls of drainage, car-parks & access ways. Or you can set grades in both axis together (ie. DUAL Grade facility).

Additionally, a perfectly plumb laser dot is generated above & below the instrument via the prism system. With the instrument set on its side to spin vertically, these dots can be used to set 90 degree right angles for groundworks site Squaring etc.

Weight: 210 grams with batteries (no bracket)

Technical specification

Accuracy:

+/- 2.8mm @ 30 metres, max. operating diameter 500m (250m either side of the instrument).

An accuracy of +/- 2.8mm @ 30 metres is equivalent to 0.09 mm/m and to put that into perspective, the best premium German spirit level has an accuracy of +/- 0.5 mm/m or +/- 15mm @ 30 metres.

Dual Grade facility:

Dual axis X and Y axis up to +/-9% (1 in 11.1)

Both X & Y axis can be set to give a maximum fall of up to 0.9m at 10m distance away. (ie. 1 in 11.1 & +/-9% grade)

This laser works great. Functions very similar to the most expensive lasers & performs very well. A friend of mine brought his Hilti over to check calibration & compare them. He was very impressed as it was spot on. Wishes he had bought this instead of his for the price. First project was to excavate for a retaining wall and then pour a concrete base for a barn. Super simple to use and worth every penny! I had to call them to figure out doing right angles and the person i spoke to was really helpful.

Upgrade options

Upgrade the kit to include the Fukuda RLR200D Detector - The perfect choice for the Fukuda FRE-203XR!

Fukuda Lasers have developed a "top of the range" detector for the Professional Tradesperson which is easy-to-use and accurate. It is also ideal for use with any brand of rotating, red beam laser level.

The RLR200D is a highly versatile, well-featured laser detector for both basic and advanced levelling & aligning applications; designed for general landscaping, concrete slabs/footings and site preparation Contractors. It features a digital readout of elevation that provides a numeric display of +30mm to -60mm (total 90mm range) & with a 1mm resolution. Accurate measurements can be made without moving the staff clamp, saving time and increasing productivity. The readout is displayed on large front and rear LCD's, showing exactly how far the elevation is from on-grade. A back-light assists readings in low ambient lighting.

Selectable units of measurement can be displayed to meet your specific application: in mm or inches. A 100mm long red pick-up window, allows quick acquisition of the laser beam. Readings are shown in three ways: via back and front displays, coloured LED indication and by audible sound, selectable loud/normal/quiet/off. This detector is designed to survive tough construction site conditions, being water and dustproof to IP65. It can be used as either a hand-held or staff mounted detector for a wide range of general construction applications.

Features:

Digital readout elevation range of 90mm, so not only will high or low arrows be displayed, but the exact distance from grade will also be numerically displayed. This eliminates the need to get exactly "on-grade" to make measurements, thus speeding up setting-out.

Large 100mm reception height acquires the beam quickly and makes it easy to stay in the beam.

Simultaneous elevation LED's signal in low light levels and over a longer range for easier reading in poor lighting conditions.

Multiple deadband sensitivity settings, three in all, allows adaptation to meet all your jobsite requirements.

Dust and weatherproof housing to IP65.

Continuous usage, 40 hours battery life with auto switch-off facility.

RLR200D Detector upgrade includes:

RLR200D instrument

4 x type AAA alkaline batteries

FMB-02 Staff Mounting clamp bracket

Instruction & safety manual

Please Note: If you upgrade to the RLR200D Detector, the default Detector will be removed from the kit.

Do you need ShockWatch® adding to your Laser?

The optional ShockWatch impact indicator clip is a tamperproof, mechanically activated device that turns bright red to indicate mishandling or after the Laser has received an excessive impact. Designed to mount directly onto the Laser Level, the clip is compact and economical and provides 360° impact detection alerting the user to check the Lasers Calibration before use. If this option is selected, our Technicians will fit your Laser with a Shockwatch prior to dispatch, giving you and your users extra piece of mind on the job site.
