Frequently Asked Questions — Leica Rugby 620
What is the Rugby 620 grade range?
The Rugby 620 has a ±25% manual grade range — significantly wider than Topcon's ±10% on the RL-SV2S. This makes it the preferred choice for steep drainage and driveway grading.
What is the difference between the Leica Rugby 610 and 620?
The Rugby 610 is a basic self-leveling horizontal laser only. The Rugby 620 adds single-grade capability — it can be set to a specific slope percentage. The Rugby 640 and 680 add dual-grade.
Is the Leica Rugby 620 compatible with non-Leica receivers?
Yes — the Rugby 620 operates at 635nm red laser wavelength, compatible with Topcon LS-80L, Spectra HR320, and other standard 635nm receivers.
What is the Rugby 620 battery life?
Approximately 50 hours with the NiMH rechargeable battery pack. Shorter than AA-battery units, but the rechargeable pack is more cost-effective long-term.
How do I set slope on the Leica Rugby 620?
Press the grade button on the unit or RC 400 remote, use the up/down arrows to set the percentage, and confirm. The unit maintains the set slope while rotating.
