- Audio Indication – Four audio settings. Up to 110 decibels for noisy jobs.
- Units of Measure – Digital information is displayed above and below grade in mm, cm, inches, fractions of inches and feet.
- Versatile Rod Bracket – A rugged rod clamp ensures solid mounting to the grade rod. The circular level vial aids to keep your grade rod plumb.
- Protective Overmold – Protects the receiver from drops in tough jobsite conditions.
- Anti-strobe Protecton – Detects and ignores the flash from strong strobes on the job so that they will not interfere with the receiver function.
- Beam Finding – Passing the receiver through the laser beam will cause the receiver to beep twice quickly.
