Complete Turnkey Grading Package for Professional Contractors
The Topcon RL-200 2S package (SKU: 314920782-1T) delivers everything site contractors need to tackle professional dual-slope grading work from day one. This all-inclusive kit pairs the powerful RL-200 2S rotating laser with the digital LS-100D receiver, RD-400 wireless remote control, rechargeable battery pack, tenths-graduated grade rod, and a heavy-duty adjustable tripod. Whether you're cutting pads, grading drainage swales, or establishing dual-pitch roof planes, this package ships ready to deploy right out of the box.
Product Overview & Jobsite Applications
The RL-200 2S is Topcon's mid-range dual-grade rotating laser, purpose-built for contractors who need independent X and Y axis slope control without stepping up to a full machine-control system. It self-levels quickly, broadcasts a visible red beam across the entire jobsite, and pairs seamlessly with the digital LS-100D receiver for precise cut/fill readouts at distances up to 800 meters. The RD-400 remote lets one operator adjust grade settings from the machine cab or anywhere on site, eliminating the need for a second crew member at the instrument. This is a proven, reliable combination trusted on commercial site work, residential subdivisions, and agricultural grading projects across North America.

Job Applications
Site Grading & Pad Preparation: Set independent X and Y slopes to match engineered plans and grade large commercial pads or residential lots with a single instrument setup. The dual-slope capability eliminates the need to re-set the laser when transitioning between cross-slope and fall-slope work.
Drainage & Swale Construction: Dial in precise positive drainage slopes for parking lots, athletic fields, and detention basins. The 0.1% slope resolution gives you the accuracy needed to meet stormwater management specifications without over-excavating.
Agricultural Land Leveling: Run the RL-200 2S with a machine-mounted receiver on a blade or box scraper to achieve consistent field grades for furrow irrigation or surface drainage improvement across large acreage.
Concrete Flatwork & Floor Slabs: Establish accurate form heights and screed grades on sloped structural slabs, warehouse floors, and tilt-up pads where a specified fall is required across two axes simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the RL-200 2S set different slopes on the X and Y axes at the same time?
- Yes. The RL-200 2S is a true dual-grade laser, meaning it can independently control slope on both the X and Y axes simultaneously — up to ±10% on each. This is essential for grading work that requires a simultaneous cross-slope and fall-slope, such as parking lots, athletic fields, or engineered drainage planes.
- Does this package include everything I need to start grading, or do I need to buy anything else?
- This kit is a complete turnkey package. It includes the RL-200 2S laser, LS-100D digital receiver, RD-400 remote, rechargeable battery and charger, tenths rod, and a heavy-duty tripod. Most contractors can be operational on the jobsite the same day the package arrives with no additional purchases required.
- What is the effective working range of this laser package?
- With the included LS-100D digital receiver, the RL-200 2S has an effective working radius of up to 800 meters (approximately 2,600 feet in diameter). The RD-400 remote control operates at distances up to 200 meters, allowing a single operator to adjust grade settings from anywhere on a typical jobsite.
- Is the Topcon RL-200 2S compatible with machine control or automatic blade systems?
- The RL-200 2S is compatible with machine-mounted laser receivers for use with motor graders, dozers, and box scrapers — making it suitable for basic indicate-only machine control applications. For full automatic blade control integration, you would typically pair it with a dedicated machine control receiver such as the Topcon LS-B110W.
