Description
Topcon RL-HV1S Single Grade Rotating Laser — Standard Kit
The Topcon RL-HV1S makes elevation checks and single-slope work simple. Dial in grades up to ±5% in the X axis (±15% with a tilting plate), check heights across an 800 m working diameter, or use the vertical alignment function for layout work. Temperature compensation keeps it accurate as conditions change, and the dual-handle, IP66 housing is made to take a beating on site. This standard kit includes the long-range LS-80X hand receiver and runs on D-cell batteries for up to 120 hours. Made in Japan.
Key Features
- Single grade: Up to ±5% on X (±15% with tilting plate) with automatic grade compensation.
- Long-range: 800 m working diameter.
- Accurate: ±1.5 mm at 30 m (±10 arc seconds) with temperature compensation.
- Vertical alignment function for layout and plumbing.
- Height of instrument alert: Warns you if the laser is bumped.
- 120-hour battery life on D-cells (65 hrs with optional Ni-MH).
- Construction tough: Dual handles and IP66 water-resistant housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the two RL-HV1S kits?
This standard kit (1051612-28) comes with the LS-80X arrow receiver and runs on D-cell alkaline batteries. The premium kit (1090053-01) upgrades to the LS-110D digital millimetre receiver and includes a rechargeable Ni-MH battery and charger.
Should I choose the RL-HV1S or RL-HV2S?
Choose the RL-HV1S if your work needs a slope in one direction, such as driveways, paths, drainage runs and slabs with a single fall. Choose the dual grade RL-HV2S if you regularly set falls in two directions at once, such as car parks and sports fields.
What is the difference between the RL-H5, RL-HV and RL-200 series?
The RL-H5 series are self-levelling rotating lasers for general construction: the RL-H5A (800 m, manual slope up to 5%) and the horizontal-only RL-H5B (400 m). The RL-HV series adds dial-in grade, vertical alignment and Bluetooth app control over 800 m. The RL-200 2S is the long-range dual grade model, covering 1,100 m with grades up to +25% and a radio remote.
What is the difference between the RL-H5A and RL-H5B?
The RL-H5A has an 800 m working diameter, ±10 arc second accuracy and manual slope up to 5%, plus Slope Matching for checking existing grades. The RL-H5B is horizontal-only with no slope function, a 400 m working diameter and ±20 arc second accuracy — a cost-effective choice for flat levelling such as slabs and footings. If you need dial-in grade percentages, the RL-HV1S is the next step up.
Is a tripod and staff included?
No. Pair this kit with the Topcon 5 m staff and dome head tripod combo.
How often should a Topcon laser be serviced and calibrated?
Topcon recommends a service and calibration check every 12 months. This kit comes with an Australian calibration certificate. For service, contact Topcon Australia on 1300 965 273; there are service and calibration centres in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Canberra and Hobart.
What warranty does the RL-HV1S have?
Topcon Australia gives the laser a 5-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. The LS-80X receiver is covered for 1 year. Keep your proof of purchase, as damage from drops or misuse is not covered.
