Laser Detector LR-6RG for Laser Level, Compatible with Huepar & Pro Laser Levels with Pulse Mode Only, Detect Green&Red Beams Laser Receiver, Up to 200Ft, Three-Side LED Display, Clamp Included

This detector works great. I am not a contractor, but it is perfect for my needs. The range is pretty impressive even on sunny days it will work out to over 100 yards.

I just got this detector and Huepar 503CG laser level to use outdoors building screen rooms patio covers and pool enclosures. Most of what I do is in the bright sun and no laser level can really be seen beyond a short distance. This detector solves that problem if you use it with a compatible green laser with pulse mode. Some reviews have said it's too sensitive and it's hard to get it to the solid tone lining up with the laser. I've seen that complaint about all detectors. It's not a problem with the detector. These are sensitive down to a small fraction of an inch. If you're not able to hold it at that it's not going to tone in. I was able to find the beam and get it to tone in easily at about 70 ft just holding it in my hand. I didn't test beyond that. ANY detector takes a steady hand and a little bit of practice to use precisely. The fact is most people don't need that level of precision for what they might be doing at those distances. If you can get it to beep on either side you'll still be within a small fraction of an inch. It also has to be a certain distance away from the laser level. It's not far but if you try testing it at a few inches it's not going to work properly. That also goes with any detector. This has to be used with a green laser that has"pulse mode" and pulse mode has to be turned on. I'm sure at least some of the negatives are from people using it with the wrong laser or using it incorrectly. The beeping is very loud. It can be turned off but there are no volume settings. You can comfortably hold it with your thumb over the speaker and that makes a big difference but I wish it had a volume control. I'll probably put a piece of tape over the speaker. I wouldn't reduce a star for it because it's not sold as having a volume control. I'd rather it be too loud than too quiet as there are times where you might want to set the detector in place and move the laser from a distance and listen for the tone. I also like that it has LED indicators on the front, the back, and one side. That's a feature a lot of high-end detectors don't even have. That's handy and a tight area, working on a ladder or some other position where you can't comfortably see the front of it.

This is a nice laser level receiver that works well and feels reliable. I really like having the directional indicators on both the front and the side, which makes it easy to see the signal from different angles while working. It seems to accurately detect the laser and has been consistent in use, which is what you want from a receiver. My only minor preference would be to have level indicators on each side instead of the single bubble level on the top. That would make it a bit more convenient depending on how it’s mounted or viewed. Overall, it’s a solid, accurate receiver and a good tool for the job.

I'm not sure how some people are having difficulty using this receiver or getting poor distance performance. Perhaps some are forgetting to remove the receiver window vinyl protection sticker....who knows. My experience was MORE than expected. I tested this with a brand new battery, using a S04CG/CR green laser from Huepar (using pulse mode) on a very robust and stable tripod. Sunny conditions, 75F outside. I got 200ft distance, in the bright sun, with the receiver on a 16ft marking pole. Easy. It would have gone more, but I didn't want to keep walking. Distances were confirmed repeatedly with a laser tape measure. This thing just works. Huepar is the best kept secret in the laser industry, period. The laser line position is between 1/16 and 1/8 in width, and the receiver marks the exact location with its reference marks on the receiver to about an 1/8th of an inch. Accurate for most purposes. It is very sensitive, you must hold it steady within an 1/8 inch to hit the center tone consistently. You need a steady setup at the laser, and a good quality marking pole that can be moved slowly and incrementally to find your exact measurement. Stability is the key. If you can do that, and have fresh batteries in both units, this receiver will not disappoint. All the extras like bubble levels and multiple marking reference points make this approaching a pro unit as far as I am concerned. Surpasses the distance rating by manufacturer, at least in my case. I would buy this over and over. Very pleased.

Is as described. As far as I can tell ive only used it once but works great and is very simple to use. I had to figure grade over about a 30ft distance. I happen to have a Huepar laser level that I used it with

Did not work out of the box. Specification say it will work with laser from the same company (622). This is the second unit and both did not work out of the box with brand new batteries. Would power up just fine but was completelly blind to the green laser in ideal indoor conditons. Tried inside, at different distances, tried outside at different distances. As the device has no threshold adjustment - just an On-Off switch not much you can do wrong other than put the battery in wrong - but the compartment is clearly marked. Power light comes on and all LED's power up to show they work and then the device is ready to receive. Tried another brand red laser, no luck. DO NOT get the 622 laser if you plan on using it outside, not bright enough for outdoor daylight applications. I have this laser and can only use it at sunrise or sunset outside. I think the lesson here is just buy Bosch, pay the extra money.

Initial impressions are pretty good. Instructions are clear, battery (9v) is included and easy to install, and best of all, it works with my Fanttik D100 Pro that I got from the big warehouse retailer - you know the one. I will update my review when I get a chance to take it outside for the broad daylight test.

Test your products when you first get them. I didn't try using this with my Huepar laser for a year after getting it to find out it does not work.
