Spectra Precision HV1305C-14 Horiz/Vert - Interior/Exterior RED Beam Laser Package with CR700 Multi-Use Receiver, Remote, Small Case and Rechargeable Batteries

Layout Versatility Meets Machine-Grade Capability

The Spectra Precision HV1305C-14 is a professional-grade horizontal and vertical laser kit engineered for contractors who demand more than a single-purpose tool. Pairing the HV1305C laser head with the CR700 multi-use receiver, a wireless remote, and rechargeable battery system, this package delivers reliable red-beam performance for both precision interior layout and exterior grade work — including machine-mounted applications on excavators and concrete screeds.

Overview and Jobsite Applications

Unlike standard rotating lasers bundled with basic rod-mount detectors, the HV1305C-14 includes the CR700 receiver, which is rated for machine control use. That means the same kit that handles partition framing and ceiling grid layout on Monday can be bracket-mounted to a skid steer or dozer blade for fine-grade excavation work later in the week. The self-leveling mechanism compensates for out-of-level conditions up to 5 degrees automatically, reducing setup time on uneven ground. The wireless remote control lets a single operator adjust the laser from a distance — eliminating the need to walk back to the instrument every time a slope or elevation needs to change.

Job Applications

Interior Layout and Framing: Use horizontal mode to establish a reference plane for drop ceiling grids, MEP rough-in heights, and wall plate layout across large floor plates. The CR700 receiver picks up the beam through drywall dust and moderate ambient light conditions without losing grade.

Column and Wall Plumb: Switch to vertical mode to transfer plumb lines for tilt-up panels, curtain wall systems, and elevator shaft layout. Single-person operation via remote keeps the workflow moving without a second hand on the instrument.

Fine-Grade Excavation: Mount the CR700 to a machine mast bracket and dial in cut-and-fill grades for utility trenches, building pads, and retention pond slopes. Selectable rotation speed lets you optimize the scan rate for the machine travel speed.

Concrete Flatwork and Screeds: Set a consistent elevation plane for slab-on-grade pours. The rechargeable battery system provides a full shift of runtime, and the IP66 housing handles the wash-down environment around concrete placement without damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the CR700 receiver be used for machine control on grading equipment?

Yes. The CR700 is a multi-use receiver rated for both rod-mounted layout work and machine-mounted grade control applications. It includes mounting provisions compatible with standard machine mast brackets used on excavators, motor graders, and concrete screeds.

What is the maximum working range of the HV1305C-14?

With the CR700 receiver, the system provides a working diameter of up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), making it suitable for large commercial slabs, site grading, and open-bay interior work where long-range detection is required.

Does this laser self-level automatically, and what happens if it goes out of level?

The HV1305C self-levels automatically within a ±5-degree range. If the instrument is disturbed or placed on a surface that exceeds that range, it will shut down the beam and alert the operator rather than continue rotating out of level — protecting accuracy on the job.

Is the HV1305C-14 suitable for outdoor use in rain or dusty environments?

Yes. The laser head carries an IP66 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and resistant to heavy water spray. It is designed for active jobsite conditions including concrete work, site grading, and framing in wet weather.
