The Leica DISTO™ D5 is designed with many functions and features to make measuring easier, particularly when you are working outdoors.
-
Its large, high resolution colour display presents the measurement results and additional information in an easy to read format.
-
A host of functions help you quickly and precisely to resolve almost any measurement situation.
-
A robust housing gives optimum protection against splash water and dust.
Power Range Technology™
The integrated Power Range Technology™ allows you to measure long distances very simply. Measure up to 100 m without a target plate, and even up to 200 m using a target plate, without having to take a single step.
Digital Pointfinder
The integrated digital Pointfinder with a 4x zoom and 2.4“ colour display makes finding the target at long distances much easier. Its high resolution capability provides a sharp,
crystal-clear image, which allows measurements to be taken even in glaring sunshine.
Tilt sensor
Thanks to the in-built tilt sensor, you can quickly and simply measure tilts up to ± 45°. The tilt sensor also allows you to measure absolutely horizontally or measure past obstructions (horizontal distance).
Spot-on measurement
The laser makes it possible! The laser dot is clearly visible, therefore you always know exactly where you are measuring, which is especially useful in difficult to access places. So you can take absolutely precise measurements, even over long
distances.
Details displayed
Additional information about the measurements, e.g. room dimensions or angles, is available at the touch of a button.
Indirect Pythagorean measurement
Single Pythagorean measurement
Just two measurements are enough to indirectly calculate the horizontal or vertical distances. It is important to ensure the 2nd measurement is at right angles to the target object – easy with minimum measurements.
Double Pythagorean measurement
Using a tripod you can measure horizontal and vertical distances. The Leica DISTO™ determines the results for you out of three measurements. Functions such as minimum and maximum measurement help you fi nd the correct measuring point.
Double Pythagorean measurement (chain values)
With just three measurements, you can also determine partial heights, e.g. balcony or window heights. This is, of course, possible horizontally and vertically.
Special functions
Tilt measurement
The tilt sensor measures tilts up to ± 45° and a typical use is for determining the pitch of a roof. When measuring tilts, the instrument should be held in the horizontal position (± 10°).
Horizontal distance
The tilt measurement allows you to determine the desired horizontal distance, even if the object cannot be directly targeted. This is particularly useful when obstructions like walls or hedges stand in the line of sight.
Trapezium function
The trapezium function is used to quickly and safely determine roof slopes and frontage areas, for example. You only need to take three 1 measurements, and the result appears on the display.
Trapezium function with tilt sensor
If access to the object to be measured is limited and measurements can only be taken from one position, then this is no problem – thanks to the integral tilt sensor. This trapezium function can also be used to quickly and safely determine roof slopes and
frontage areas.
Triangle function
The triangle function helps you quickly and efficiently to arrive at the area of a multi-cornered room. Divide the room into imaginary triangles. Then use three measurements to determine the areas of each of the triangles, which you can add together as you proceed. Finally all you have to do is read off the result.
