The Leica 746157 IR Remote Control is a genuine infrared controller designed specifically for the Piper 100 and Piper 200 pipe lasers manufactured by Leica Geosystems. Built for precision pipeline alignment, trench work, and underground utility installation, this professional-grade remote allows operators to control laser functions remotely improving efficiency, safety, and productivity on demanding construction sites.Engineered for contractors, surveyors, utility installers, and civil engineering professionals, the Leica 746157 remote delivers responsive infrared operation up to 500 feet (152 meters).Whether you are adjusting grade inside a pipe, centering your beam, or activating strobe mode for enhanced visibility, this OEM accessory ensures seamless control without physically handling the laser unit.If you operate the Leica Piper 100 or Leica Piper 200, this original Leica remote control is an essential accessory for maximizing performance in confined trench and pipe environments.Why Choose the Leica 746157 IR Remote Control?When working in pipeline construction, stormwater systems, sewer installation, or drainage projects, accuracy and control are critical. The Leica Piper series pipe lasers are known for their compact size and high-precision grade alignment. However, the ability to operate the laser remotely dramatically enhances workflow efficiency.The Leica 746157 IR Remote Control enables:Remote power on/off controlBeam activation and deactivation for battery conservationLeft/right wide line alignment adjustmentsStrobe mode for enhanced beam visibilityOperation from distances up to 500 ftInstead of climbing into trenches repeatedly or manually adjusting the laser inside confined pipes, you can control critical functions directly from your working position. This reduces downtime, enhances jobsite safety, and accelerates task completion.Designed for Piper Series Pipe LasersThis infrared remote is engineered exclusively for compatibility with:Leica Piper 100Leica Piper 200These compact pipe lasers are widely used in:Sewer line installationDrainage system alignmentUtility trenchingUnderground cable duct installationGravity-fed pipeline systemsThe Leica 746157 ensures full operational control of these laser units without signal lag or interference under standard site conditions.Key Features of the Leica 746157 Remote Control1. Long-Range Infrared Operation Up to 500 FeetOne of the defining features of the Leica 746157 IR Remote Control is its extended operational range. With a working distance of up to 500 feet (152 meters), operators can manage laser functions from outside trenches or at safe distances.This is particularly beneficial when:Working in deep excavationsAligning long pipeline runsAdjusting grade across extended distancesOperating in hazardous or confined environmentsThe strong infrared signal ensures reliable communication with the Piper laser units under typical jobsite conditions.2. 6-Button Keypad for Precision ControlThe intuitive six-button keypad layout allows users to operate key laser functions quickly and efficiently.Functions Include:Power OnPower OffLaser Beam On/OffLeft AdjustmentRight AdjustmentStrobe Mode ActivationThe simplified control interface minimizes training requirements and ensures that operators can focus on precision alignment rather than complicated controls.3. Wide Line Adjustment for Accurate AlignmentProper centering of the laser beam is critical for maintaining grade accuracy in pipeline construction. The left and right arrow buttons allow for wide line adjustment, helping you center the beam accurately within the pipe.This ensures:Consistent slope accuracyReduced reworkCompliance with engineering specificationsImproved project efficiencyAccurate beam alignment prevents costly errors in underground installations.4. Strobe Mode for Enhanced VisibilityIn bright environments or long pipe runs, beam visibility can become challenging. The strobe mode feature pulses the laser beam to increase visibility inside pipes.Benefits of strobe mode:Improved visibility over long distancesEasier beam detectionEnhanced alignment precisionBetter performance in daylight conditionsThis function significantly enhances productivity in real-world construction settings.5. Battery Saving ModeThe Leica 746157 remote allows users to turn off the laser beam without powering down the entire unit. This helps conserve battery life during intermittent alignment tasks.Battery conservation is crucial for:Long workdaysRemote job sitesLimited charging accessContinuous alignment operationsReducing unnecessary battery drain ensures uninterrupted workflow.Built for Professional Jobsite ConditionsAs an original accessory from Leica Geosystems, the Leica 746157 IR Remote Control is designed to withstand construction site environments.Key durability advantages:Rugged constructionReliable infrared transmissionDesigned for trench and underground use1-year manufacturer’s warrantyThis is not a third-party generic controller. It is a genuine OEM remote engineered to meet Leica’s quality standards.Technical Specifications: Leica 746157 IR Remote ControlModel Number: Leica 746157SKU: Leica 746157UPC: 7640110692170Compatibility: Piper 100 & Piper 200 pipe lasersRange: Up to 500 ft (152 m)Control Interface: 6-button keypadFunctions: Power control, beam control, wide line adjustment, strobe modeBattery Saving Feature: YesWarranty: 1-Year Manufacturer’s WarrantyCondition: NewShipping: Free ShippingApplications in the FieldThe Leica Piper IR Remote Control is ideal for professionals working in:Sewer & Drainage InstallationMaintain precise slope and alignment without entering trenches repeatedly.Utility & Infrastructure ProjectsControl pipe laser alignment during underground cable and conduit placement.Civil Engineering & ConstructionEnhance efficiency in municipal and commercial pipeline construction.Plumbing & Underground ContractorsEnsure grade accuracy for gravity-fed systems.Benefits of Using an Infrared Pipe Laser RemoteUsing a dedicated remote control offers measurable advantages:Increased safety (less trench entry)Reduced manual adjustmentsFaster alignment correctionsImproved operational efficiencyLower fatigue for field operatorsBetter control during long-distance pipe installationThe Leica 746157 IR Remote Control is specifically optimized to support these professional requirements.Why Buy the Genuine Leica 746157 Instead of a Generic Alternative?Choosing the original Leica remote ensures:Full compatibility with Piper 100 & 200Reliable IR signal communicationManufacturer-backed warrantyDurable constructionZero calibration issuesGeneric remotes often lack range reliability and durability, which can compromise job accuracy.Frequently Asked QuestionsIs the Leica 746157 IR Remote Control compatible with all Leica pipe lasers?No. This remote is specifically designed for the Piper 100 and Piper 200 pipe lasers.
