Product Description
Product Description
The Spectra Precision HL700 Digital Readout Receiver features digital readout of elevation that provides a numeric display of ± 2 inches (±5 cm). Patented reception technology allows nearly infinite resolution for greatest accuracy. The readout is displayed on the large front and rear LCDs and show exactly how far the elevation is from on-grade. Accurate measurements can be made without moving the rod clamp, saving time and increasing productivity. The HL700 has a 5 inch (12.7 cm) reception height, more than double the industry standard, which allows quick acquisition of the laser beam. Six levels of sensitivity (accuracy) offer maximum flexibility to meet jobsite requirements, from rough grading to fine grade checking. Also included is a patented anti-strobe sensor that prevents construction equipment lights from giving faulty signals. The receiver is designed to survive rough construction site conditions. It is waterproof and can withstand accidental drops of 10 feet (3 meters) onto concrete. Highly visible LEDs on the front show red for high and low and green for on-grade.

On the topic of compatibility, I'd say that compatibility is good, except for two noticeable areas: you lose the ability to monitor the rotary laser battery status and the height alert of the RL-H5A remotely on the laser receiver (you keep these functions with the Topcon LS-100D). Only you can decide if these are showstopper issues for you. They were not for me, as I tend to keep an eye on the battery status (4 D cells last over 100 hours!) and in my application no one really messes with my rotary laser. For me, I decided to trade off those two alerts for the added features and robust design of the HL-700. Note that I am referring to REMOTE alerts that display on the laser receiver, my Topcon laser itself will NOTICEABLY display that these conditions have happened locally on the rotary laser by flashing all of its panel lights and slowing down its rotation. Low battery occurs once the battery voltage drops below 4 volts, so pretty soon afterwards the rotary laser will just stop working.
The only other nits I have to say about the current version of the HL-700 is that you will need a flat head screwdriver to pry open the battery compartment, the latch is way too tight to use your fingers. This is probably intentional, to ensure a strong watertight seal on the battery compartment door rubber gasket. And the included rod bracket should have a molded indicator pointer showing exactly where to read grade. On the HL-700 bracket, you need to realize that the top edge of the rod bracket handle is at the same plane as the indicator on the HL-700. Its OK once you realize this and are used to it, and just read off the top edge of the rectangular handle. One other thing to be aware of is that if you wear polarized glasses outdoors, you might have trouble reading the LCD displays on the HL-700. When I wear my polarized sunglasses, the LCD screen on the front and on the back has all sorts of rainbows on it, making it hard to read. I just peek over the top of the glasses to see the screen, but this might be a problem for you if you wear prescription sunglasses. Keep in mind that this happens with other LCD screens for me too, not just the HL700.
Otherwise, for the money the Spectra Precision HL-700 tops anything offered by Topcon. One point to note is that the HL-700 is a much bigger and better built laser receiver than the LS-80L, thus it is noticeably heavier, which is to be expected. When moving it from section to section on your grade rod, it is much easier to fumble it and drop it. Thankfully, it is designed to take a 10 foot drop to concrete and survive, something I cannot say about the Topcon laser receivers.
I do not think you will disappointed with the HL-700, it does everything the marketing literature says it does, and does it well even when paired with a non-Spectra Precision red laser (except the remote alerting described earlier). With Amazon's excellent return policy, you have nothing to fear buying it here!
The 1st and 2nd gen receivers were fast response when using a tall rod and checking grade for an excavator where you have to move in and back out quickly to not slow down the machine. So the head has to tell you very fast if it's up or down. This HEAD does. For the last 15 years, I have not liked the $400 heads that come with my $4500 laser units. They respond very slowly, too slow for the above-mentioned use, nor for checking grade for a backhoe that swings out and then back in, and you need to check grade while the machine is dumping the dirt and tell the operator that he has to go down more or move ahead because it's on grade.
Plus this head will tell you (with in 2" up or down) how many MM, inches, or decimal, the grade. It's been very nice for our grade checker to be able to say "1.5" down, and not guess how far he is leaning the rod over to make the receiver sing solid tone.
Batteries (2 AA) seem to last shorter than the other heads I have used, but small price to pay for awesomeness.
As an adder, after having had it for a while now, I would say that it is ABSOLUTELY worth the extra $ for my application. I would bump this up to five stars except that I wish it had one more feature; that being a laser catcher reader thingy on the back of the receiver. This one does seem to catch the laser at a wider angle that my old one, but still would be nice for it to read at nearly 360 degrees. Some times it is such that I can not get the story pole tight to the surface I am leveling to and I have to use a speed square to get an accurate mark. Not always a small thing when you only have two hands.

Have not used mine but got one for the other half of the firm he reckons it shows a whole brick variation in depth (very handy indeed )
