The Topcon RC-50 (model 313670003) puts full wireless command of your RL-SV1S rotating laser right in your hand. Control slope settings, rotation speed, laser power, and more from anywhere on the jobsite—up to 250 feet away from the instrument. Stop hiking back to the laser every time conditions change and stay focused on the work in front of you.
Purpose-Built for Grade and Pipe Work
The RC-50 was designed for the way contractors actually work. Whether you're setting grade for a drainage swale, directing a dozer operator, or laying pipe in a trench, you're constantly in motion. With the RC-50, your laser keeps up with you. Adjust dual-axis slopes on the fly, tweak rotation speed to match detector range, and power the laser on or off without breaking your workflow. The rugged housing holds up in dirt, mud, and weather conditions you'd expect on an active site.

Job Applications
Site Grading & Earthwork: Set and fine-tune grade elevations while working alongside equipment operators. Adjust slope values in real time without leaving the cut or fill zone.
Drainage & Utility Layout: Establish consistent fall for drainage pipe or utility conduit. Change slope percentages from inside the trench or at the layout string without touching the laser head.
Concrete Flatwork: Control laser speed and power during screeding and forming operations. Keep the instrument dialed in as crew positions shift across the slab.
Landscape Grading: Quickly power the laser on and off or adjust rotation speed as you move between grade checks on large landscape or sports field projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the RC-50 compatible with any Topcon laser other than the RL-SV1S?
- The RC-50 is specifically designed for use with the Topcon RL-SV1S rotating laser. Topcon remotes are model-specific due to frequency and function matching, so confirm compatibility before purchasing for a different instrument.
- What is the maximum operating range of the RC-50?
- The RC-50 operates at up to 250 feet (approximately 76 meters) from the RL-SV1S. Range may be reduced in environments with heavy interference or obstructions between the remote and the laser.
- Can I adjust slope settings from the RC-50 while the laser is running?
- Yes. One of the primary advantages of the RC-50 is the ability to modify slope on both the X and Y axes while the laser is actively rotating. This eliminates workflow interruptions during grading and pipe layout operations.
- Does the RC-50 come with batteries included?
- Battery inclusion may vary. We recommend confirming battery requirements in your RL-SV1S documentation or contacting our team before your job start date to ensure you have everything needed on day one.
