The Spectra Precision HV1305C-SC-26 is a professional-grade horizontal, vertical, and dual-slope laser kit engineered for contractors who demand accuracy and versatility on every jobsite. This all-inclusive package ships ready to work — no separate purchases required — and delivers the precision performance that Spectra Precision is known for across residential, commercial, and civil applications.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
Whether you're setting grades on a drainage project, laying out interior walls, or establishing elevations for a concrete pour, the HV1305C-SC-26 handles it all. The red beam laser performs reliably in both interior and exterior environments, and the included CR700 digital receiver extends detection range well beyond unaided eye visibility. The RC1402N remote control lets one operator manage setup adjustments from the working location — a real productivity advantage on solo jobs or tight-deadline projects.

Job Applications
Site Grading & Drainage: Use dual-slope mode to establish two-plane grades for parking lots, sports fields, and drainage swales — work that previously required more expensive equipment.
Concrete Formwork & Flatwork: Set consistent elevations across large concrete pours with the CR700 receiver on the grade rod, giving your crew fast, repeatable grade checks.
Interior Framing & Layout: Switch to vertical plane mode for accurate wall layout, column alignment, and partition framing in commercial interiors.
Utility & Pipeline Grade: The dual-slope capability makes the HV1305C-SC-26 well suited for setting storm drain, sanitary sewer, and irrigation line grades on light civil projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the HV1305C-SC-26 be used outdoors in direct sunlight?
- Yes. While the red beam may not be visible to the naked eye in bright sunlight, the included CR700 digital receiver detects the beam at distances up to 2,000 feet in full sun, making it fully effective for exterior grade work.
- What is dual-slope mode and when would I use it?
- Dual-slope mode allows the laser to simultaneously project a grade in two perpendicular directions — for example, a 2% slope north-to-south and a 1% slope east-to-west. This is essential for parking lot drainage, sports field crowning, and any surface that must shed water in two directions.
- Does the kit include everything needed to start working immediately?
- Yes. The SC-26 kit includes the HV1305C laser, CR700 receiver, RC1402N remote, 15-foot grade rod, aluminum tripod, and a system carrying case. AA batteries are recommended to have on hand; the laser accepts standard AA cells for up to 70 hours of runtime.
- Is the HV1305C-SC-26 covered by a warranty?
- Spectra Precision backs the HV1305C with a standard manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. As an authorized Spectra Precision dealer, Express Tools ensures your purchase qualifies for full factory warranty support. Contact us for current warranty terms.
