Huepar Laser Receiver LR-5RG for Huepar Laser Level - Green and Red Beam Detector for Pulsing Line Lasers, Two-Sided Back-lit LCD Displays, Automatic Shut-Off Timer, Use for 901CG/902CG, BOX-1G/R

I had a 4 year old Huepar Box-1G Laser Level 150 feet and self leveling which isn’t visible at distances in sun so I bought this receiver and also a kezers grade rod and in direct sunlight the receiver worked very accurately - I used it out a 100 feet for my project to calculate the grade slope and calculate the amount of fill material needed

For the price, it’s great

I tested this detector indoors in my shop, and couldn't get a reading except when very close to the laser. I tested it outside and it works well enough (I only tested it ~40ft away). I figured it must be my LED overhead shop lights interfering w/ the laser detector. Accuracy doesn't seem to be an issue, but it's sometimes a bit intermittent getting the laser signal. This is a budget solution, so be prepared for budget results. A proper transit level will set you back a couple hundred. A repurposed laser level + this detector is a decent solution to a problem I rarely need to solve.

Read instructions, works great. Tested next to a Topcon unit

You may want to spent more money if you’re looking for a laser to make you money, but for a handy man at home or light duty use as a hired handyman this unit would be invaluable to have.

Combo review of Huepar 902CG Self-Leveling cross line laser and LR-5RG Laser Detector This unit will work decently well indoors, that’s about it. The single button interface for controlling all functionality is a bit of a pain but not that hard to figure out. For the cliff notes see photos. The reason for review is mainly the advertised distances. They are nowhere near what was advertised. 902: advertised maximum working range 130ft (not sure if that’s visible or with detector) LR-5RG: advertised distance up to 200ft. I did not experience anywhere close to this. The furthest I got was about 72 feet and even then it was about 85% (it would cut in and out). 72 feet was with both units in the shade, see photos. Conditions: The weather was cold at about 25 degrees F but both units were indoors before trying them out. The day was slightly overcast. I’m not sure I would call it direct sunlight but direct enough to cast somewhat of a shadow. I will likely retest in the afternoon or on a really bright day. In my opinion if the unit only works in the evenings then whats the point of the receiver? It should work well enough to say… level a small driveway or pad for a garage. In all situations I tried to detect the laser by slowly moving the receiving unit up and down while the receiver was facing directly at the emitter. If the unit could not detect both sides of center (up and down arrow) then it failed.

Worked for 2 days when leveling stone for a concrete floor. Then it sat in the garage for a year. Turned it on, and it will no longer detect the same laser that it worked with a year ago. EDIT: Turned out it was my issue. I had the laser in regular mode. This laser detector needs the laser to be in pulse mode to detect. Once it was on the correct setting, it worked fine.

I bought a Cigman laser level based on the NYT Wirecutter guide, but working outside found it impossible to see in even cloudy daylight. I was worried about Huepar's warnings that their sensor was only compatible with their own levels, but as long as you put the Cigman in the pulse mode needed to work with sensors (hold down the power button after turning it on until the status light flashes), it seems to work great! I'm not a connoisseur of laser receivers, whatever that might mean, but getting these for a reasonable consumer/occasional-use price point was a huge help for my project.

Esto no es un buen nivelador. Los indicadores luminosos y sonoros no funcionaban en absoluto. Muy caro para no hacer nada. No lo recomiendo en absoluto.

its good when you cant see the laser or your just trying to rough up some elevations. personally id rather just use a measuring tape.

Works well, does what it should
