Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Trimble Ab is recalling 127 units of the Trimble RTS873 robotic total station manufactured between October 2023 and February 12, 2025. These instruments are precision layout tools used by construction professionals. The recall was issued because the integrated green aiming laser system may emit output power that exceeds safety standards for its Class 2 laser classification. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but the excessive laser power could potentially cause harm during use. Consumers should stop using the affected instruments and contact their authorized dealer for a correction.

Risk

The green aiming laser on these units may exceed Class 2 safety power levels, which could pose a risk of eye injury to users or bystanders if they look directly into the laser beam.
