Leica Rugby 55

The Contractor’s Choice
Rugged – Dependable – Accurate – Versatile

The Leica Rugby 55 provides today's contractor with the tools needed for virtually any leveling or alignment job.

The Leica Rugby 55 features an easy to use keypad, a watertight seal, variable head speeds, selectable scanning modes, a bright red beam and an alkaline or rechargeable NiMH battery pack.

It is aimed at contractors who are focused on interior applications. Its small, compact size makes handling and setup easier to handle. The convenient carrying case holds the Leica Rugby 55 while still attached to the wall mount bracket, eliminating the need to reattach and set the height each time the laser is used.

The Rugby 55 has several unique features. The “Scan-90” feature automatically moves the scanning or stationary beam in 90° intervals through each of the four axes. The “Beam Down” feature automatically positions the beam below the laser when doing layout work for quicker setups over a point. And, “Sleep Mode” puts the Rugby 55 to sleep for up to two hours to conserve battery life when it is not being used.

The Rugby 55’s laydown capability, 90° split beam and watertight seal make the Rugby 55 a great tool for the exterior, concrete contractor. Set up on a tripod or batter board clamp, the setting out of corners and alignment of forms and foundations can be reliably accomplished using the Rugby 55. 

Ceiling Layout	Floor Layout	Square
With the Leica Rugby 55 mounted securely to the first piece of wall angle, set it to the desired height, adjust the ceiling grid using the laser beam on the target as the reference.	Set up your Leica Rugby 55 over a control point using the unique Beam Down feature, then align the rotating or scanning beam to your second control point using the buttons on the Leica Rugby 55 or the remote control.	The top plumb beam is always 90° to the main beam. Set up and align the Leica Rugby 55 to two control points, and the top plumb beam will provide an easy to use, 90° reference.

Scan-90 With the Leica Rugby 55 the scanning or stationary beam can be quickly positioned in 90° increments ... making layout easier by quickly moving the beam to the left of right side of the Leica Rugby 55.

Beam Down Mode By selecting zero rps with the head speed button, the rotating head automatically positions itself in a plumb down direction for alignment of the Leica Rugby 55 over a reference point.

IR Remote Control Adjustments to the Leica Rugby 55 are possible from virtually any direction using the full-function, infrared Remote Control.

Sleep Mode Pressing the Up and Down buttons together on the remote will put the Leica Rugby into sleep mode for two hours to save battery life without disturbing your setup.

Level	Interior Walls	Alignment
The Leica Rugby 55 is fully sealed and provides an accurate reference for both interior and exterior leveling applications.	Working with interior wall construction is made easy with the Leica Rugby 55’s bright, red beam that provides a clear reference for layout as well as horizontal and vertical alignment.	Mounted to a tripod, batter board clamp or setting on its own, the Leica Rugby 55 can be used for the alignment and squaring of forms.

Applications:
Ceiling grids – Floor layout – Raised access floors – Transferring points - Setting window supports – Cabinets – Interior walls – Tilt ups – Setting benchmarks - Elevation control – Footings and Foundations – Plumb – Manual slopes
