Agatec SmartRod - digital laser receiver and staff
Innovation: increasing accuracy and reducing leveling survey times


The Smart Rod is a revolution in laser receivers for use with rotary laser levels. Now you can survey elevations 4 times faster with the SmartRod laser receiver and integrated digital leveling staff. The new SmartRod instantly detects the laser beam anywhere on the receiver and and gives the user an accurate digital readout on the SmartRod LCD display. No staff / rod-reading errors, and no tedious calculations for cut-and-fill, just push a button and read it directly on the LCD! The SmartRod: a true innovation to save surveying time and add to measuring accuracy.

Why is it unique?SmartRod is a laser receiver built into a telescoping rod, with unique features that eliminate the usual calculations required when using a receiver on a grade rod.
|
Why Smart?Look at its head! Window (reception area) is so much larger!16.5 cm on the SmartRod vs. only 6 cm on a standard detector. Linear Receiving Technology (LRT): The beam has only to touch some part of the window; it does not need to be in the center. The SmartRod“finds” the center. |
Smarter & faster than a standard detector.With a detector, the user must find the beam first (so that the beam is hitting the detector’s reception window), then has to go up and down some more to get the center of the detector right on the beam. |
Tape measure modeMeasure heights up to 4 m / 13' 4" m in tape measure mode. |

The SmartRod is a laser receiver built into a telescoping rod, with unique features that eliminate the usual calculations required when using a receiver on a grade rod. It provides a digital readout in three modes: basic elevation readings, cut-and-fill calculations, and height and width measurements (tape measuring mode, not requiring a laser). It can receive reference elevation information from all rotating lasers.
Features
- LCD showing elevation, measurements, settings, and status of functions
- Cut-and-fill mode that indicates how far a measurement is from a previous reference reading
- Choice of units: metric; ft/10ths/100ths; and ft/inches/16ths
- Uses linear receiving technology and has a wide 165mm (6.5”) reception range for capturing the beam quickly.
