FAQs

Can I hire the Leica Rugby 680 or have my own unit serviced at PQS Survey?

Yes, we offer flexible hire rates for the Rugby 680 across our UK depots and provide full recalibration and repair services in our specialist workshops to keep your equipment site-ready.

What is the difference between a manual slope laser and the Rugby 680?

The Rugby 680 is semi-automatic. Instead of manually tilting the laser, you enter the exact grade percentage on the digital display for consistent, error-free results.

What is the maximum grade the Leica Rugby 680 can achieve?

The unit allows for a dual-grade range of +/-8% in both the X and Y axes simultaneously.

Does the Rugby 680 support vertical self-levelling?

No, this model is specifically for horizontal levelling and dual-axis grading. For vertical alignment, we recommend the Leica Rugby 640.

How does the Smart Slope function benefit my site?

It acts as a digital safeguard, adjusting the laser to compensate for thermal expansion or minor shifts throughout the day, keeping your beam locked on the correct grade.

Is the laser beam visible for indoor applications?

Yes, it uses a Class 2 visible red laser. However, for outdoor groundworks or long distances, a Leica Rod Eye receiver is always recommended.

What is the maximum working range of the unit?

When paired with a professional receiver like the Rod Eye 160, the Rugby 680 offers a working diameter of up to 800m.

Is the Leica Rugby 680 fully waterproof for UK weather?

It carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is completely dust-tight and can withstand heavy rain or temporary submersion in site puddles.

Can I charge the laser while it is still in use?

Yes, the Li-Ion battery pack supports run-charge functionality, allowing you to power the unit from a mains or 12V source while it remains operational.

What happens if the laser is knocked or disturbed during work?

The unit features an H.I. Alert. It will stop rotating and sound an alarm if disturbed, preventing inaccurate readings after a bump.
