LAR 160 – the red laser for major outdoor projects
STABILA rotation lasers are an indispensable tool for every trade in construction thanks to their high level of accuracy and extensive working areas. The new LAR 160 rotation laser is a robust and reliable companion in any kind of work, from wood, steel and metal construction to carpentry, landscape gardening and bricklaying. Fully automatic and motor-driven, the laser produces a levelling accuracy of +/- 0.1 mm/m and is ready to use within 20 seconds, thanks to its rapid self-levelling function.
Convenient operation
The laser boasts four functions: horizontal rotation, vertical rotation, plumb-line function and right angle in vertical operation, making it extremely versatile to use. In combination with the REC 160 RG set receiver, it offers a working area of up to 600 metres in diameter. The receiver has a receiving area from a height of 80 mm, making it possible to work over long distances. Visual and acoustic guidance, displays on the front and back, and illumination at the touch of a button are additional design features which facilitate the interaction between laser and receiver.
Convenience has also been given top priority when it comes to operation. The laser is controlled with just three buttons – on/off, tilt mode and manual mode. The assistance system, which makes it possible to monitor the laser visually, also ensures convenient and safe operation: while the laser is being positioned, integrated LEDs emit a warning if it is outside of the levelling range. Two 5/8" threads integrated in the housing allow horizontal and vertical use on a tripod.
The LAR 160 rotation laser is protected against knocks and impacts thanks to the shock-absorbent STABILA soft grip casing, while the stable housing cover means that even everyday rough handling on the construction site does not affect the laser optics. It goes without saying that the laser also features protection class IP 65 – which means it can cope with dust and even water.
The STABILA LAR 160 G rotation laser is equipped with GreenBeam technology. The green laser beams it emits are up to four times more visible to the human eye indoors than red beams.
LAR 160 G – the green laser for interior construction projects
In the LAR 160 G version of the model, the rotation laser is equipped with STABILA GreenBeam technology. This ensures improved indoor visibility of the rotating laser beam, since green laser beams are up to four times more visible to the human eye than red beams. As a result, the LAR 160 G is an outstanding partner for the whole spectrum of interior construction jobs, from drywall construction to installation work. Otherwise, its design is identical to the LAR 160.
The STABILA LAR 160 and LAR 160 G are powered with long-life batteries. An integrated battery drawer makes changing them more convenient as it allows this to be done directly on the tripod. As powerful Li-ion rechargeable battery is also available as an option.
The lasers are available in three versions:
LAR 160 G, four-part set (laser, receiver, target plate, carrying case, 2 x D 1.5 V and 2 x AA 1.5 V batteries)
LAR 160, five-part set (with the addition of laser goggles)
LAR 160, seven-part set (with the addition of a construction tripod and levelling rod)
