The Spectra Precision LL300S-X2-PRO is a complete professional-grade rotary laser package assembled for contractors and survey crews who work in fractional-inch measurements. Built around the proven LL300S red-beam rotary laser, this kit pairs the instrument with an HL450 machine control receiver, RC wireless remote, an inch-graduated grade rod, a heavy-duty tripod, and rechargeable battery packs — delivering every tool a grading team needs to get on grade faster and stay there all day.
Package Overview & Jobsite Applications
The LL300S-X2-PRO is engineered for high-productivity outdoor grading, site preparation, drainage layout, and foundation work. The inch-scaled rod graduations make this configuration the natural choice for crews whose workflows, client deliverables, and training programs are built around fractional-inch increments rather than metric or tenths-of-a-foot readings. Whether you are setting cut-and-fill stakes on a commercial pad or checking finish grade on a residential lot, this package provides the accuracy, range, and wireless control to keep the job moving.

What's in the Kit
- LL300S Rotary Laser: Self-leveling red-beam instrument with single- and dual-axis grade capability and wireless remote compatibility

- RC Wireless Remote Control: Adjust rotation speed, grade settings, and scan mode from up to 300 ft away without leaving the machine
- Inch-Graduated Grade Rod: Contractor-length rod with fractional-inch markings for direct compatibility with standard U.S. measurement workflows
- Heavy-Duty Tripod: Aluminum construction with wide stance and quick-clamp legs for stable setup on rough terrain
- Rechargeable NiMH Battery Packs: Two packs included for all-day runtime; eliminate recurring alkaline battery costs on long shifts
- Padded Carry Case: Organized storage and transport protection for all kit components
Job Applications
Site Grading & Earthwork: Set and verify cut-and-fill elevations across large commercial pads, parking lots, and subdivision lots using the HL450 receiver mounted to a grade rod or machine mast.
Drainage & Slope Control: Use single- or dual-axis grade mode to establish precise positive drainage slopes on driveways, athletic fields, retention basins, and landscape grading projects.
Foundation Layout: Transfer and confirm finished floor and footing elevations with inch-scale accuracy, reducing re-work and keeping concrete pours on schedule.
Utility Trench & Pipe Grade: Mount the HL450 to a grade rod inside the trench to set consistent invert elevations for storm drain, sanitary sewer, and irrigation piping runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the LL300S-X2-PRO and the LL300S-X1 package?
- Both packages are built around the same LL300S laser instrument. The X2-PRO differs by including an inch-graduated grade rod instead of a metric or tenths-scaled rod, making it the preferred configuration for U.S. contractors who measure in fractional inches. All other components — receiver, remote, tripod, and batteries — are equivalent across both packages.
- Can the LL300S set grade on two axes at the same time?
- Yes. The LL300S supports dual-axis grade mode, allowing you to dial in independent slope percentages on both the X and Y axes simultaneously. This is particularly useful for parking lot drainage design, athletic field crowning, and any application requiring compound slopes.
- How far does the RC wireless remote control work?
- The RC remote operates at a range of up to approximately 300 feet (90 meters) from the laser, allowing a single operator to adjust rotation speed, grade percentage, and scan angle from the rod location without walking back to the instrument.
- Is the LL300S-X2-PRO suitable for machine control applications?
- The included HL450 receiver is compatible with excavator and motor grader mast mounting for basic indicate-only machine applications. For fully automated blade or bucket control, a dedicated machine control system and compatible grade control receiver would be required.
