Leica Rugby 680 True Grade Laser Level Kit

The Leica Rugby 680 Premium TRUE GRADE Rotary Laser Level features a very durable housing that provides superior drop and weather protection. A very high level of dust/water protection to IP67 (Dust tight & protected against submersing in water up to 1m deep without damaging the instrument) makes the Rugby 680 suitable for the most demanding of worksites.

The Rugby 680 fully automatic, horizontal with true grade, self-levelling capability provides fast, accurate setup; with just one button press. It has a very high accuracy rating of +/-1.5mm @ 30m with a max. working diameter of 1,100m.

The User can dial-in grades (slopes) in the X-axis or Y-axis up to 8%, OR both X & Y axis together ie. DUAL grading by inputting percentage (%) values into the selected axis.

Smart Slope is included as standard, which is a specialised feature within the Rugby 680 and 800 series rotating lasers that continuously monitors time and temperature fluctuations on construction sites. This technology ensures accurate, consistent performance for grade management throughout the entire workday, minimizing potential errors.

Power supply options: Select either the powerful Lithium rechargeable battery pack or optional alkaline batteries with cradle, to keep the laser working with no downtime, due to power loss.

The Rugby 680 is matched with Leica’s superior Rod Eye RE160 digital (mm) detector with five sensitivity settings to suit all site conditions.

Technical specification

Accuracy:

+/- 1.5mm @ 30 metres, max. operating diameter 1,100m (550m either side of the instrument).

An accuracy of +/- 1.5mm @ 30 metres is equivalent to 0.05 mm/m and to put that into perspective, the best premium German spirit level has an accuracy of +/- 0.5 mm/m or +/- 15mm @ 30 metres. This laser level is 10x more accurate.

Dual Grade facility accessed via laser’s keypad:

Dual axis X and Y axis up to +/-8% (1 in 12.5)

Both X & Y axis can be set to give a maximum fall of up to 0.8m at 10m distance away. (ie. 1 in 12.5 & +/-8% grade)

Example usage

Grading and excavating

Levelling concrete forms and footers

General construction vertical alignment and plumb such as anchor bolt and form alignment

Sports fields, tennis courts and driveways

Steep slope road embankments and ditch banks

Ramps and drainage

Do you need ShockWatch® adding to your Laser?

The optional ShockWatch impact indicator clip is a tamperproof, mechanically activated device that turns bright red to indicate mishandling or after the Laser has received an excessive impact. Designed to mount directly onto the Laser Level, the clip is compact and economical and provides 360° impact detection alerting the user to check the Lasers Calibration before use. If this option is selected, our Technicians will fit your Laser with a Shockwatch prior to dispatch, giving you and your users extra piece of mind on the job site.
