Questions & Answers
Common Questions
Yes, significantly. The human eye is roughly 4× more sensitive to green wavelengths (555 nm peak) than to red. In bright daylight, a green beam is visible at distances where a red beam washes out completely. The LD 320-TR green-beam detector is tuned to the LM130HVG’s specific frequency, providing better signal detection at the limits of the 2000-ft range. Fewer missed reads, faster workflow, better detector response at distance.
Auto-Alignment automatically aligns the laser to a desired grade or reference point without manual adjustment. On a standard rotary laser, you’d manually adjust until the detector reads on-grade — a process of iterative cranking and checking. With Auto-Alignment, you set a grade value or point the detector at the reference, activate the function, and the LM130HVG adjusts automatically. The difference between a two-minute setup and a fifteen-minute one on a grading job.
The LD 320 (red) detector is tuned to detect red laser frequencies. The LD 320-TR is tuned for the green beam frequency emitted by the LM130HVG. Using the wrong detector isn’t just reduced sensitivity — at distance, using a red-tuned detector with a green laser can result in inconsistent or missed readings. The LD 320-TR is included with every LM130HVG kit. If you own LD 320 detectors from red beam instruments, they are not recommended for use with the LM130HVG at range.
Three configurations: the standard LM130HVG (47-LM130HVG) includes laser, LD 320-TR detector, glasses, target, remote, mount, battery/charger, and case. The LM130HVGK-4C (47-LM130HVGK-4C) adds a 4-foot grade rod in inches. The LM130HVGK-4T (47-LM130HVGK-4T) adds a 4-foot grade rod in tenths. Call 877-866-5721 to discuss which configuration fits your work.
If you do significant interior finish work in lit environments, or outdoor work where visibility is a recurring issue, the green beam pays for itself in time saved. If you primarily use the laser in controlled, low-light indoor conditions and do minimal grade work, the LM130HV will serve you fine. Honest answer: if you’re buying new, buy the LM130HVG. If you already own a working LM130HV, it depends on how much work you do in bright conditions and how much time you spend finding grade manually.
The LM130HVG carries a 2-year limited warranty on the laser instrument, a 1-year limited warranty on the LD 320-TR detector, and a 90-day limited warranty on accessories. Questions? Call 877-866-5721 — a real person answers.
