The LMR360A laser machine control receiver is widely used for construction and earthmoving works, but its compatibility with both green and red beam lasers requires careful consideration for professionals selecting the most suitable equipment for their site needs.
The LMR360A is a precision instrument designed primarily to detect and interpret signals from rotary laser levels, which are commonly used in grading and leveling tasks. It utilizes advanced sensors to capture and process laser pulses, a technology that is crucial for effective height control on heavy machinery.
Regarding beam color compatibility, the LMR360A is specifically calibrated for use with red beam lasers, which emit at a wavelength typically between 600-700 nm. Most industry-standard receivers, including the LMR360A, are not equipped with photodiodes sensitive enough to detect green beam lasers, which operate at around 520-540 nm. Therefore, simultaneous compatibility with both green and red laser beams is generally not supported unless expressly stated by the manufacturer.
For teams managing extensive construction sites or combining equipment, it’s essential to verify the technical specifications of both the laser level and receiver before purchase. The industry often offers dedicated green beam receivers, but these are separate from classic red beam models. When choosing products for demanding environments such as surveying and site positioning in Brussels, ensuring correct compatibility is crucial for optimal performance.
Usually, specialized receivers must be selected for each beam color; there are few universal models and dual compatibility is not a standard feature of the LMR360A.
