Topcon RL-H5A TOP FEATURES
The Topcon RL-H5A auto-leveling laser level combines precision, versatility and value in one job site tough package. Its super-fast self-leveling motors are accurate to +/-10 arc seconds meaning whether you're checking grade or setting batter boards you are going to be accurate the first time. Its high-power 2.4mW diode means you have a 2,600' diameter working range (with detector use) making it a great reference for machine mounted receivers. The 635nm visible beam means it can even be used for interior alignment applications from setting piers and decking, to wall and even cabinet alignment. All of these features makes the Topcon RL-H5A Laser more than twice the laser offered by anyone else.
- Self-Leveling Horizontal Beam
- Long Range Operation 2,600 ft diameter
- High Horizontal Accuracy 1/16-inch @ 100-feet
- Simple, intuitive manual slope capability
- Tough IP66 Rating - Dust and Water Rating
- Self-Leveling Range ± 5 degrees
- Long Alkaline battery life - 100 hours

Why the RL-H5A
Built for the jobsite
MULTI-PURPOSE LASER Grading, excavating and general construction projects are perfect applications for the RL-H5A. With the added "Slope Matching" feature, check grade on all your flat and slope work. The 600 rpm rotation speed makes the Topcon RL-H5A a great match with any machine mounted laser sensor.
EASY TO USE With electronic self-leveling you press the power button and go right to work in seconds. If the TOPCON RL-H5A gets disturbed on the job it re-levels itself automatically. The Self-Leveling motors are accurate to ± 10 arc seconds.
LONG RANGE OPERATION Need to shoot elevations up to 1,300 feet from your laser? No problem, this TOPCON RL-H5A has a workable power and range of 2,600 feet diameter on the jobsite.
ALL WEATHER DEPENDABILITY With the IP66 rating, the TOPCON RL-H5A is JOBSITE TOUGH and can withstand dust, a sudden shower and even a torrential rainfall.
The TOPCON RL-H5A Laser comes with a FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE. Topcon is backing up this reliable, accurate laser with the best factory warranty in the industry.

How long do the batteries last?
The laser runs up to 100 hours on alkaline batteries.
What does the LS-80L show?
The beam position on an LCD on both sides of the receiver, with an adjustable audible tone, fine or coarse sensitivity and a height alert.
Can I use the RL-H5A with a machine-mounted receiver?
Yes. At 600 RPM it is a good match for machine-mounted laser receivers on dozers, excavators and skid steers.
How does the RL-H5A level itself?
Press the power button and the electronic self-leveling motors level the beam to ±10 arc seconds. If the laser is bumped it re-levels automatically.
Is the RL-H5A waterproof?
It carries an IP66 dust and water rating, so it can handle dust, a sudden shower and heavy rain.
