Why Choose the Rod Eye 140 Classic
High-performance reception, rugged protection, and all-day battery life
Built-in 120 mm (4.7 inch) reception window with unique technology for accurate digital input. Easy beam detection over the entire distance so you find grade faster.
Two large graphic displays on both the front and back of the receiver. Three bright LED indicators provide an instant, at-a-glance reference for receiver position from either side of the rod.
Detects only the red laser beam and ignores flash interference from strong strobes on the job. Safety lights and emergency equipment won't interfere with your receiver function.
Three audio settings — high, low and off — cut through jobsite noise. The receiver beeps twice when passing through the laser beam. An arrow display guides you back when out of range.
Rated IP67 — completely dustproof and waterproof. Protective overmold resists drops and hard knocks in tough jobsite conditions. Built to survive a real day's work.
Runs 50+ hours on 2 standard AA batteries. Built-in low battery alert and a 10-minute auto shutoff protect your charge so you're never caught off guard on the job.

How It Works
Three simple steps from setup to perfect grade
Attach the Rod Eye 140 to your grade rod using the included rugged rod bracket. Level using the built-in circular vial to keep the rod plumb and ensure accurate grade readings.
The extra-long 120 mm (4.7") detection window picks up your Leica Rugby laser beam instantly. The dual LCD displays and 3 bright LED indicators confirm your grade position from both sides of the rod.
Audio beeps and the 11-channel arrow display guide you precisely to exact grade. Anti-strobe protection ensures a clean signal even in bright conditions. The receiver beeps twice the moment you're on beam.
