If your order is affected by a backorder or extended lead time, our team will contact you with the latest availability information. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
The Spectra Precision LL500-2 Long-Range Rotary Laser Kit is a professional, self-leveling construction laser system designed for accurate elevation measurements, concrete work, excavation, and general construction leveling. Combining the LL500 rotary laser with the HL700 Digital Readout Receiver, C70 Rod Clamp, GR152 15-foot grade rod, and 2161 aluminum tripod, this package provides contractors with the essential equipment for efficient one-person leveling operations.
Featuring an operating diameter of approximately 500 meters (1,600 feet) and accuracy of ±1.5 mm at 30 meters (±1/16 inch at 100 feet), the LL500 delivers precise, repeatable measurements across medium and large construction sites. Its automatic self-leveling system includes an out-of-level shutoff that helps prevent inaccurate readings if the instrument moves outside its leveling range.
The LL500 incorporates temperature compensation technology to maintain stable accuracy as environmental temperatures change. Its visible spotting beam helps operators identify the laser's approximate position when setting up the receiver, reducing the time needed to establish an on-grade reference.
The included Spectra Precision HL700 Digital Readout Receiver provides a large 127 mm (5-inch) detection window, six selectable accuracy settings, and a digital elevation display that shows the distance above or below grade. This allows operators to take measurements directly without repeatedly repositioning the receiver.
Designed for demanding construction environments, the LL500 features IP54 environmental protection, supports alkaline or compatible rechargeable battery power, and is backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty. The included HL700 receiver provides IP67 protection and a separate 3-year warranty.

Key Features
Long-Range Leveling up to 1,600 Feet
The Spectra Precision LL500 provides an operating diameter of approximately 500 meters (1,600 feet) under optimal conditions.
This extended working range helps reduce the need for repeated instrument setups on larger construction sites.
High-Precision Leveling Accuracy
The LL500 delivers ±1.5 mm accuracy at 30 meters (±1/16 inch at 100 feet), equivalent to approximately 10 arc seconds.
This precision supports reliable elevation measurements for foundations, concrete forms, excavation, and general construction leveling.
Automatic Self-Leveling
The LL500 uses a wire-hung, air-damped compensation system to establish a level laser reference automatically.
Its self-leveling range is specified at ±11 arc minutes.
Built-In Out-of-Level Shutoff
The LL500 incorporates an out-of-level shutoff that stops operation when the instrument moves outside its allowable leveling range.
This helps prevent incorrect measurements caused by instrument movement or an improper setup.
Temperature Compensation Technology
Built-in temperature compensation helps maintain consistent leveling accuracy as temperatures change throughout the workday.
This feature is particularly valuable on outdoor construction sites where equipment may experience significant temperature variations.
Visible Spotting Beam
The LL500 features a visible laser beam that helps operators identify the approximate beam location when positioning the receiver.
This simplifies initial receiver placement and reduces setup time.
HL700 Digital Readout Receiver
The included Spectra Precision HL700 provides a digital elevation readout showing the distance above or below the established laser reference.
This allows operators to determine elevation differences directly rather than relying only on directional indicators.
Large 5-Inch Receiver Detection Window
The HL700 features a 127 mm (5-inch) reception window, allowing the receiver to detect the laser beam over a substantial vertical area.
This helps operators locate the laser reference quickly during leveling and grade measurements.
Six Selectable Receiver Accuracy Settings
The HL700 provides six selectable on-grade sensitivities:
These settings allow operators to adjust receiver sensitivity based on the accuracy requirements of the application.
Digital Elevation Readout
The HL700 provides numeric elevation readings within approximately ±50 mm (±2 inches) of the laser reference.
The digital display supports millimeters, centimeters, feet, inches, and fractional inches.
Anti-Strobe Technology
The HL700 incorporates an anti-strobe sensor designed to reject interference from construction warning lights and other flashing light sources.
This helps reduce false laser detections and improves reliability on busy jobsites.
Dual Clamp Positions
The HL700 supports two clamp positions for different leveling and excavation applications.
Its excavation position provides additional reception height above grade, helping operators perform cut-and-fill measurements.
Durable HL700 Receiver Construction
The HL700 is designed for demanding construction environments and features:
-
IP67 Environmental Protection
-
Impact-Resistant Construction
-
Drop Resistance up to 3 m (10 ft), Under Specified Conditions
-
-
3-Year Manufacturer Warranty
GR152 15-Foot Grade Rod
The LL500-2 includes a GR152 15-foot adjustable grade rod with measurements in inches and eighths.
This provides a convenient measurement system for contractors working with imperial elevations.
2161 Aluminum Tripod
The included Spectra Precision 2161 aluminum tripod provides a stable mounting platform for the LL500 rotary laser.
Alkaline & Rechargeable Battery Compatibility
The LL500 supports four D-cell alkaline batteries or a compatible NiMH rechargeable battery system.
The LL500-2 package is supplied with alkaline batteries, while rechargeable operation requires the appropriate compatible battery equipment.
Five-Year Manufacturer Warranty
The LL500 laser is backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
The included HL700 digital receiver carries a separate 3-year warranty.
