LEICA PIPER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LEICA PIPER from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy specification of the Leica Piper 100 laser?
The Leica Piper 100 Laser has an accuracy of ±1/16 inch at 100 feet. It is a red-beam horizontal pipe laser with a self-leveling range of ±10°. The kit includes a carrying case, charger, holder, remote control, and target. This level of accuracy is suitable for gravity-fed pipe installation where slope must be maintained within tight tolerances. The self-leveling range allows the unit to compensate for minor setup misalignment, reducing setup time. The red beam is visible for alignment tasks in typical underground construction environments.
What is included in the Leica Piper 200R Kit?
The Leica Piper 200R Kit includes a pipe laser, a charger with AC and auto adapter, and an aluminum housing. The overall dimensions are 16 1/2 inches in height and 10 1/2 inches in width. The kit is designed for alignment and grade control in pipe laying, drainage, and sewer construction. The 200R model is part of the Piper 200 series, which offers different configurations for various job requirements. The kit may also include a target assembly depending on the specific package. The aluminum construction provides durability for field use.
What is the difference between the Leica Piper 200R and 200G models?
The Leica Piper 200R and 200G models are both pipe laser kits with aluminum housings and similar overall dimensions of 16 1/2 inches by 10 1/2 inches. The primary difference is in the included accessories and power options. The 200R Kit typically includes a charger with AC and auto adapter, while the 200G Kit includes a Li-Ion battery. Some configurations, such as the 200R Kit with Alignmaster, include a target assembly. The 200G Kit with Remote includes a remote control. Buyers should select the model based on the required accessories and battery preference for their specific application.
What power source does the Leica Piper 200G Kit use?
The Leica Piper 200G Kit is powered by a Li-Ion battery. This battery type is rechargeable and provides portable power for the pipe laser during operation. The kit includes the battery as part of the package. Li-Ion batteries are commonly used in construction lasers for their energy density and lack of memory effect. The 200G Kit is designed for alignment and grade control in underground pipe installation, drainage, and sewer projects. The aluminum housing protects the internal components and battery compartment.
What is the self-leveling range of the Leica Piper pipe lasers?
The Leica Piper 100 Laser has a self-leveling range of ±10°. This means the unit can automatically level itself within that range, simplifying setup on uneven terrain. The self-leveling feature reduces the need for manual adjustment and helps maintain accuracy. For the Piper 200 series, self-leveling specifications may vary by model; buyers should consult the individual product datasheet for exact figures. Self-leveling is particularly useful in pipe laying where the laser must be set up quickly and accurately to establish grade.
What accessories are available for Leica Piper pipe lasers?
Leica Piper pipe laser kits include various accessories depending on the model. Common accessories are carrying cases, chargers (AC and auto adapter), holders, remote controls, and target assemblies. The PIPER 200R Kit with Alignmaster includes a target assembly. The PIPER 200G Kit with Remote includes a remote control. The PIPER 100 Laser kit includes a carrying case, charger, holder, remote control, and target. These accessories support setup, alignment, and operation in the field. 3G Electric can provide datasheets and availability for specific accessory part numbers.
