The Topcon RL-200 2S (314920712-2T) dual slope grade laser package delivers the precision grading control contractors need for residential, commercial, and light civil work — all calibrated in traditional foot-inch-fraction measurements. This turnkey kit pairs the industry-proven RL-200 2S rotating laser with the LS-80X machine control receiver, an inches-graduated grade rod, and a heavy-duty tripod so your crew can hit the site running without hunting down additional components.
Dual Slope Grading Built for the Real Jobsite
The RL-200 2S earns its place on demanding jobsites by delivering simultaneous X- and Y-axis slope control in a single setup. With a slope range of ±10% on both axes and a working radius up to 800 meters (diameter), it handles everything from fine finish grading on subdivision lots to rough cut excavation on commercial pads. The self-leveling range of ±5° gets you operational fast even on uneven ground, and the IP66-rated housing keeps the unit working through dust, rain, and muddy conditions without skipping a beat. The inches rod configuration uses familiar foot-inch-fraction graduations, making it the natural choice for crews working in standard U.S. dimensions.

Job Applications
Residential Site Grading: Set precise drainage slopes on subdivision lots, driveways, and yard grades while keeping measurements in the foot-and-inch language your framers and landscapers already use.
Concrete Flatwork & Slab Prep: Control sub-base and finish grades simultaneously across both axes, ensuring ADA-compliant slopes on parking lots, warehouse floors, and commercial slabs in a single instrument setup.
Excavation & Rough Cut: Mount the LS-80X receiver on an excavator or motor grader mast rod and use the wide 800 m working radius to guide machine operators across large cut-and-fill areas without repositioning the instrument.
Drainage & Utility Trenching: Dial in consistent positive drainage slopes along swales, French drains, and utility corridors where maintaining a uniform fall-per-foot is critical to system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the RL-200 2S set independent slopes on both axes at the same time?
- Yes. The RL-200 2S is a true dual slope instrument, meaning you can program a different grade percentage on the X-axis and Y-axis simultaneously — up to ±10% on each — without needing two separate setups or instruments.
- Is the LS-80X receiver compatible with other Topcon rotating lasers?
- The LS-80X is designed for use with Topcon rotating grade lasers and is fully compatible with the RL-200 2S. It works as both a hand-grade rod receiver and a machine-mount receiver, making it versatile for manual grading and equipment-controlled applications.
- Why choose the inches rod configuration over a metric rod?
- The inches rod uses foot-inch-fraction graduations standard in U.S. residential and commercial construction. It matches the measurement language most American framers, utility contractors, and landscapers use, reducing conversion errors on the jobsite.
- What is the battery life on the RL-200 2S, and can I use it continuously on long projects?
- The RL-200 2S runs up to 100 hours on a single charge with its included rechargeable battery pack. For extended projects, a spare battery pack is available separately and swaps in seconds so you never lose a full day's production waiting on a charge.
