General information

The GradoPlane 15 is a self levelling laser instrument for height measurement and
surveying. A dual grade percentage of +/-10% can be entered directly and will be
level automatically.

The instrument has the possibility to work with a laser spot or a scan beam. A high
working range and a stable beam allows work with machine control units with
rotation speed of 600 and 800 RPM.

The GradoPlane 15 instrument is waterproof and can be used outside in the
elements.

An optional radio remote control is offered that can work all functions of the laser
and has the same display as the laser instrument.
