The Topcon RL-H5A Self-Leveling Laser PS.DB Kit is a professional horizontal rotary laser package designed for grading, leveling, excavation, site preparation, foundations, agricultural work, and other large-area construction applications. The kit combines the RL-H5A rotary laser with the Topcon LS-80X receiver, sensor holder, tripod, 13 ft aluminum grade rod, chargers, and carrying case.

The RL-H5A features ±10 arc-second horizontal accuracy, equivalent to approximately 1.5 mm at 30 m, along with a long operating range of up to 800 m diameter when used with a compatible receiver. Its electronic self-leveling system is designed to maintain a stable laser plane even in jobsite environments where vibration may make conventional pendulum systems less reliable.

The laser also supports single-axis manual slope adjustment up to ±5°, allowing it to handle basic gradient applications in addition to standard horizontal leveling. A height-alert function warns the operator if the instrument is disturbed or tilted enough to affect the established elevation.

Built for demanding field environments, the RL-H5A carries an IP66 dust and water resistance rating, while the included LS-80X receiver provides dual LCD displays, fine and normal accuracy settings, audible guidance, and up to 120 hours of battery life with alkaline batteries.

Key Features

High-Accuracy Horizontal Leveling

The RL-H5A provides ±10 arc-second horizontal accuracy, approximately 1.5 mm at 30 meters, supporting precise elevation control across large construction areas.

Up to 800 m Operating Diameter

When used with the appropriate laser receiver, the RL-H5A supports an operating diameter of approximately 2 to 800 meters, making it suitable for large jobsites, grading projects, agricultural work, and foundation layout.

Electronic Self-Leveling

The RL-H5A uses an internal electronic self-leveling mechanism designed to maintain a stable laser plane even in environments affected by vibration.

This can improve reliability on active construction sites where equipment movement and ground vibration are common.

±5° Self-Leveling Range

The laser automatically levels within a range of ±5°, helping simplify setup and reduce manual adjustment.

Manual Single-Axis Slope

The RL-H5A can be manually adjusted for slope work up to ±5° when installed on a level surface.

This allows the unit to handle applications such as drainage and basic gradient work in addition to standard horizontal leveling.

Height Alert Function

A height-alert safety feature warns the operator if the laser has been disturbed or tilted enough to change the established elevation.

This helps reduce the risk of continuing work from an incorrect reference height.

600 RPM Rotation Speed

The laser operates at 600 RPM, providing a consistent rotating beam for use with compatible receivers across the jobsite.

Rugged IP66 Construction

The RL-H5A is rated IP66, providing strong protection against dust and water exposure.

It is designed for demanding construction environments and can withstand sudden rain and other challenging jobsite conditions.

Large Carry Handle

A large integrated handle makes the laser easier to pick up and carry, including when operators are wearing work gloves.

Simple Controls

The RL-H5A uses a straightforward button layout intended to make setup and operation quick and easy in the field.

Topcon Environmental Testing

The RL-H5A is designed to withstand demanding construction use and has undergone testing for vibration, drops, high and low temperatures, repeatability, laser endurance, and rotating-head durability.

LS-80X Dual LCD Receiver

The included LS-80X receiver features LCD displays on both sides, allowing operators to view grade information from either direction.

Fine & Normal Receiver Accuracy

The LS-80X provides two accuracy modes:

• High Precision: ±1.0 mm
• Normal Precision: ±2.0 mm

This allows the receiver to be adjusted according to jobsite accuracy requirements.

Nine Arrow Display Positions

The LS-80X provides 9 arrow display positions to help operators quickly determine whether they are above, below, or on grade.

Audible Guidance

The receiver's speaker can be set to:

• Loud
• Low
• Off

This provides audible grade guidance while allowing the operator to adjust sound output for different work environments.

Up to 120-Hour Receiver Battery Life

The LS-80X provides up to 120 hours of operation with alkaline batteries.

Please note that alkaline batteries are not included with Topcon products due to shipping restrictions.
