Professional Dual-Axis Rotary Laser for Interior and Exterior Layout
The Spectra Precision HV1305C-29S-A is a complete, job-ready rotary laser package built for contractors who need reliable horizontal and vertical control on every site. Whether you're hanging ceilings, setting grades, or laying out walls, this kit ships with every component you need to get to work immediately — no sourcing accessories separately, no guesswork on compatibility.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
The HV1305C operates in both horizontal and vertical planes, giving you a single instrument that handles the full range of layout and elevation tasks. With a 2,500-foot working diameter and ±1/16-inch accuracy at 100 feet, it performs on large commercial floors, tilt-up sites, and tight interior finish work alike. The alkaline battery power system means you can source replacement batteries at any hardware store or job trailer, eliminating downtime from proprietary charging systems. The HL760 digital numeric receiver extends usability in bright outdoor conditions where the naked eye cannot pick up the beam.

Job Applications
Suspended Ceiling Grid Layout: Set horizontal plane reference at finish height, then use the HL760 receiver to transfer that elevation to every grid wire across the entire floor — even solo.
Site Grading and Drainage Slopes: Switch to vertical beam mode and use the grade rod to establish and verify consistent slopes for drainage, flatwork prep, and rough grading passes.
Tilt-Up and CMU Wall Layout: Use the vertical plane for control line projection to verify plumb on wall panels and masonry courses across long runs without constant re-checking.
Interior Partition and Elevation Control: On multi-trade commercial interiors, set a single horizontal reference that MEP, framing, and finish crews can all shoot off — reducing RFIs and trade conflicts over elevation discrepancies.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the HV1305C be used outdoors in daylight?
- Yes, with the included HL760 digital receiver. The receiver detects the red beam in conditions where it is not visible to the naked eye, extending effective outdoor range to the full 2,500-foot diameter working area.
- Does this package include everything needed to start work immediately?
- Yes. The HV1305C-29S-A kit includes the laser, HL760 receiver with remote, heavy-duty tripod, inches-marked grade rod, carrying case, and batteries. No additional accessories are required for standard layout and elevation tasks.
- What is the self-leveling range of the HV1305C?
- The instrument self-levels within a ±5° range. If the tilt exceeds that threshold, the unit will alert the operator and shut off the beam to prevent the use of an unlevel reference — an important safeguard on uneven ground.
- Can one person operate this laser without a second crew member?
- Yes. The HL760 receiver includes a remote control that allows the operator to adjust the laser's rotation speed and other settings from the rod location, making true solo operation practical for grading, ceiling work, and layout tasks.
