Overview

Topcon RL-H5A Rotary Laser Level Kit is the next generation of self-levelling construction lasers. It has a high accuracy, a long range and is very simple to use for checking elevations. Proven reliability on any job site with long-range consistency and ease of use.

Incorporating electronic self-levelling; you simply press the power button and go right to work in seconds. If the RL-H5A gets disturbed on the job, it re-levels itself automatically. The self-levelling motors are accurate to ±1.5 mm at 30m.

The RL-H5A has the power and range to cover an 800m diameter job site.

The User has the option of up to 60 hours of continuous usage with the fitted rechargeable battery pack or 100 hours with 4x type D standard batteries. With a rating of IP66, the RL-H5A is “job site tough” and can withstand dust, a sudden shower and even torrential rainfall.

Laser detector upgrades are available: Select the standard LS-80X or upgrade to either the LS-100D (mm/inch) or the Spectra Precision CR700 magnetic detector for machine use.

Included in the RL-H5A purchase price is a 5-Year Guarantee. Topcon is backing up this reliable, accurate laser with the best factory warranty in the industry.

Technical specification

Accuracy:
+/- 1.5mm @ 30 metres, max. operating diameter 800m (400m either side of the instrument).
An accuracy of +/- 1.5mm @ 30 metres is equivalent to 0.05 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.

Example usage

Checking/setting elevations, concrete forms, footings, and foundations for small- and medium-sized job.

Basic slope work such as driveways and ramps

Excavations, digging footings and septic tanks

Purchase options

Upgrade the kit to include the Topcon LS-100D Detector

Versatile and designed for maximum user convenience, the LS-100D features a digital readout to confidently deliver elevation and vertical alignment control on demand.
It features an extra-wide beam capture sensor that also rejects annoying interference from strobe light exposures. The large and bright LCD displays (front and rear) feature 9-channels of grade information and digitally show the distance to on-grade. By pressing the Hold button, the display is locked so the user can conveniently read the results. For added versatility, three colored LED’s and a strong magnet mount are embedded for vertical operation, ideal for steel erection or operator grade checking while excavating.

To assist in monitoring the Topcon rotating laser, alert icons appear on the LCD if the instrument is disturbed (HI alert) or when the laser battery is low.

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.
For further details of ShockWatch®, please Click Here.

Need to mount a Detector on Plant equipment?

The Topcon RL-H5A can be used for machine control by using a magnetic CR700 Detector, which can be purchased as an "upgrade" or as an optional extra.
