admin — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:54:15 +0000

Error Code	Description	Solution
154	Transverse tilt >20°	Hold the instrument without any transverse tilt
156	Transverse tilt > 10°	Hold the instrument without any transverse tilt
160	Main tilt direction, angle too high (>45°)	Measure angle up to +/- 45°
162	The calibration has not been accomplished on a leveled surface and the calibration value is respecitvely within an ineligible area.	Calibrate the device on an absolute horizontal leveled surface.
203	Wrong measuring sequence for Pythagoras measurements	Measure in correct sequence
204	Calculation error	Repeat procedure
206	No endpiece detection	Attach the endpiece properly. If error still occurs, replace the endpiece
217	Measuring module error	Contact Us
240	Data transfer error	Repeat procedure
245	2nd button pressed although no Bluetooth connection exists.	Establish Bluetooth connection
252	Temperature too high, above 50°C	Cool down the instrument
253	Temperature too low, below 0°C	Warm up instrument

Saving your favorite functions on the programmable keys

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 15:05:54 +0000

Press the left or right top key for about 2 sec.. An overview (“Favorites”) with all functions appears on the display. Choose the preferred function and press then the left or right top key where you want to have the favorite behind. The favorite is now saved.

How accurate is the tilt sensor?

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 15:02:30 +0000

The accuracy of the tilt sensor in the device is +/-0.1° to the housing of the device. To the laser beam the maximum deviation can be up to -0.1° and +0.2°. This applies at room temperature (20°C – 30°C). At any other temperatures the maximum deviation increases by +/-0.1°.

Lanyard / Hand Loop Installation

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 14:55:45 +0000

All Leica Disto’s are included with a lanyard / hand-loop to prevent an accidental drop.

To install the lanyard:

1. Locate the 2 small holes near the base on left or right side (some units have these on both sides).

2. Squeeze the small loop at the end of the lanyard and push it into one of the holes. You may need to work it back-and-forth slightly until it comes out the second hole. It is sometimes easier if you can remove the battery door.

3. Loop the entire lanyard through the small loop and pull tight.

Measure In Picture

Determine the width, height, area or even the diameter of an object. One measurement at right angles to the object is all it takes. Then the desired dimension is marked using two arrows in the picture and the measured value appears in the display. In addition to the zoom stages on the Point-finder, an overview camera is available for large objects.The camera function on the DISTO D810 touch can be used to create pictures or screen shots for record purposes, which can then be downloaded to a computer via the USB interface. Thus no details about the measured target points need be lost.

Pictures with the overview camera

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 14:33:41 +0000

Take pictures for record purposes and download them to your computer using the USB interface. The integrated overview camera gives you more image information. With tricky measurements for example, you can photograph and record target points or specific features.

Diameter measurement in picture

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 14:30:41 +0000

Measure to the center of the object with the device. The object appears in the display and then you can mark the diameter with the arrows. The display then shows the result. This function is ideal, for example, for determining the diameter of a tree trunk.

Measuring widths, heights and areas in picture

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 14:28:20 +0000

You measure at right angles to the object. The object appears in the display and then you can mark the required dimension with the arrows. The display then shows the value. In this way you can, for example, measure the width, height and area of an advertising board using only one distance measurement.

Digital Pointfinder

The digital Point-finder, with its multiple zoom levels and large color display, makes targeting easier over long distances. The high-resolution screen ensures a crystal-clear image, allowing you to measure perfectly, even in bright sunlight.

Measure in picture accuracy

admin — Sat, 04 Jan 2014 21:31:57 +0000

The accuracy of the measurement depends on how the function is used. Best results can be achieved when the measuring object is displayed maximum size on the DISTO screen. In such case the accuracy is below 1% of the measured object. This applies for width, area and diameter measurements.
