Built for Grade Work — Topcon RL-200 2S with Elevator Tripod
The Topcon RL-200 2S package 314920782-1ET is the go-to dual slope rotating laser for contractors who need precise grade control in demanding jobsite conditions. By pairing the RL-200 2S with a heavy-duty elevator tripod, this kit gives foundation crews, flatwork specialists, and commercial concrete contractors the repeatable height adjustment and rock-solid stability needed to nail grade on every pour. Whether you're shooting cross-slopes on a parking structure or setting drainage grade across a large slab, this package is spec'd to get the job done right.
Dual Grade Laser Built for Demanding Applications
The RL-200 2S is engineered for contractors who regularly work with dual-slope applications — drainage planes, ADA-compliant ramps, parking lots, and sloped foundations. It delivers independent X and Y axis grade control with a wide grade range, allowing full slope setup without repositioning. The elevator tripod in this kit makes height adjustments fast and precise, letting crews dial in instrument elevation without breaking their grade reference. Combined with the LS-100D digital receiver and RD-400 wireless remote, this is a complete production-ready system right out of the case.

Job Applications
Foundation Layout & Footing Grade: Set the RL-200 2S over a known benchmark and use the elevator tripod to quickly fine-tune your instrument height. The dual-slope capability means you can hold cross-grade and longitudinal grade simultaneously — critical for stepped foundations and sloped building pads.
Commercial Flatwork & Concrete Slabs: Parking structures and commercial slabs regularly demand 1–2% drainage slopes in two directions. The RL-200 2S handles compound slopes efficiently, reducing setup time and eliminating the need for multiple instrument positions.
Site Grading & Drainage: Swales, retention basin slopes, and utility trench grades are fast to set with the RD-400 remote — operators can adjust grade from the machine or working position without walking back to the instrument.
ADA Ramps & Sloped Walkways: Compliance work requires precise, verifiable slope. The LS-100D receiver gives audible and visual grade confirmation, making it easy for a single operator to verify and document cross-slope for inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the RL-200 1S and RL-200 2S?
- The RL-200 1S offers single-axis grade control, suitable for simple slopes in one direction. The RL-200 2S provides independent dual-axis grade control, allowing simultaneous X and Y slope settings — essential for drainage planes, parking lots, and any application requiring compound slopes.
- Why does this kit include an elevator tripod instead of a standard tripod?
- An elevator tripod lets you raise or lower the instrument vertically using a crank mechanism without disturbing the level or grade settings. This is critical for contractors who need to match instrument height to a specific benchmark elevation quickly and repeatedly throughout the workday.
- Can the RD-400 remote control all RL-200 2S functions from the field?
- Yes. The RD-400 wireless remote allows the operator to adjust grade values on both axes, change rotation speed, and perform other key functions from up to 100 meters away. This is particularly valuable when the operator is stationed at the machine or at a distant grade check point.
- Is the Topcon RL-200 2S suitable for outdoor use in rain or dusty conditions?
- Absolutely. The RL-200 2S carries an IP66 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand powerful water jets. It is designed for active construction environments and can be used confidently in rain, concrete dust, and other harsh jobsite conditions.
