Wireless Grade Control on the Jobsite
The Spectra Precision GL1425C-BL puts dual-axis slope control in the palm of your hand. With built-in Bluetooth connectivity, you can adjust grade settings directly from your smartphone or tablet using Spectra's free mobile app — no more walking back to the tripod every time conditions change. Whether you're fine-tuning drainage slopes on a commercial pad or dialing in subgrade for a parking structure, the GL1425C-BL keeps your crew moving and your cuts accurate. This listing is for the laser transmitter only; no receiver, remote control, rod clamp, or carrying case is included.
Professional Grade Laser Built for Demanding Site Work
Designed for contractors who need reliable dual-slope performance across a full shift, the GL1425C-BL delivers a self-leveling range of ±10% (5°42') on both the X and Y axes simultaneously. The red beam laser is compatible with all standard Spectra and Trimble grade receivers, making it an easy upgrade into existing machine control or manual grade setups. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery system delivers up to 60 hours of runtime per charge, and the unit is rated IP66 for dust and water resistance — built to stay on the tripod through long pours and site exposure.

Job Applications
Commercial Site Grading: Set precise cross-slopes and longitudinal grades across large commercial pads. Bluetooth control lets the grade setter adjust slope from machine cab or remote location without interrupting the scraper or dozer operator.
Drainage and Swale Work: Establish accurate positive drainage grades on athletic fields, parking lots, and landscaped areas where standing water can't be tolerated. The ±25% grade range covers steep swale work with a single setup.
Concrete Flatwork and Slab Pours: Provide a consistent rotating reference plane for screed operators working large floor slabs or tilt-up pads. Compatible receivers clip directly to screed handles for hands-free grade verification.
Machine Control Reference: Use as a transmitter with a mast-mounted receiver on a motor grader or skid steer to maintain consistent subgrade cuts across a site. Bluetooth app eliminates manual grade changes when transitioning between zones.
