Stay Connected to Your Laser System from Anywhere on the Jobsite
The Topcon RD-10W Wireless Remote Display gives superintendents, grade checkers, and equipment operators real-time access to laser system status and grade data — without leaving their position on the jobsite. Designed to pair seamlessly with compatible Topcon rotating laser systems, the RD-10W eliminates the need for personnel to physically check the laser instrument, keeping crews productive and grade verification continuous. Whether you're managing a large grading operation or coordinating precision flatwork, this wireless display keeps critical laser data in front of the people who need it most.
Overview and Jobsite Applications
The RD-10W communicates wirelessly with the host laser system, receiving real-time status updates including grade settings, dual-grade axis values, and system alerts. The large, easy-to-read display is built for outdoor visibility in direct sunlight, and its rugged housing is designed to withstand the dust, vibration, and moisture exposure common on active construction sites. Grade checkers can monitor laser performance while moving around the site, and foremen can verify system status from the cab of a machine or from a distant control point — all without radio calls or interrupting the laser operator.

Job Applications
Site Grading and Earthwork: Grade checkers walking cut-fill areas can monitor laser output continuously, instantly identifying any system disruption caused by equipment vibration or accidental bumping of the instrument — before off-grade material is placed.
Concrete Flatwork and Slab Pours: During large slab pours, the foreman or screed operator can verify active grade settings on the RD-10W without stepping away from the pour, maintaining consistent pace and reducing costly rework from undetected laser errors.
Machine Control Oversight: Project superintendents overseeing GPS or laser-guided grading machines can use the RD-10W to confirm that the reference laser system remains active and on-grade throughout the shift, providing an independent verification point separate from the machine cab display.
Utility and Pipeline Grade Control: Trench crews setting pipe to grade benefit from having the RD-10W mounted at the trench edge, giving the grade setter immediate feedback on laser status while the instrument remains protected at a distance from active excavation.
