Las Vegas, Nevada (February 3, 2009) — Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) today announced the new Spectra Precision® Laser LL100 Laser Level. The laser is a rugged, cost-effective horizontal laser used for a variety of general construction elevation control applications. The laser mounts on a tripod and sends a 360 degree plane of laser light over the work area, allowing one person to take accurate elevation measurements up to 150 m (500 feet) away with the new HR320 laser receiver.

Positioned as an entry-level laser, the Spectra Precision® Laser LL100 is highly intuitive, requiring minimal training. Fully-automatic self-leveling ensures quick, accurate setups. A hard-shelled system carrying case includes the laser, receiver, rod clamp, tripod, and grade rod for easy transport, storage, and use.

The announcement was made today at World of Concrete 2009, one of the world’s largest international exhibitions for the construction and construction materials industries.

The Spectra Precision Laser LL100 is a highly intuitive entry-level laser. The unit offers fully-automatic electronic self-leveling in the horizontal plane for quick setup. Easy, one-button operation requires minimal training. Versatility is added with single-axis manual slope capability for setting out driveways, ramps, and residential drainage lines.

The composite material housing of the Spectra Precision Laser LL100 is rugged, lightweight, and weatherproof, making it easy for a contractor to carry and use in demanding jobsite conditions. The robust design allows the unit to be dropped up to 3 feet (1 meter) onto concrete and still remain functional, reducing costs for downtime or repair.

The Spectra Precision Laser LL100 is available in two basic configurations. System packages are available and include the LL100 laser, HR320 receiver, rod clamp, tripod, and choice of grade rod all packaged in one hard-shelled, portable system carrying case. The system package is a complete leveling crew in a case, making it easy to carry, transport, and store. A small case with the laser, receiver, and rod clamp is also available.

The new Spectra Precision Laser LL100 Laser Level is available now through Trimble’s Construction Tools and Building Construction dealer networks.
