Models DISTO D5/D8


World’s First Digital Pointfi nder with 4x zoom and high resolution 2,4” color display allows quick and easy targeting, even in bright sunlight. Versatility Thanks to its versatility, Leica DISTO™ offers the perfect solution for every measuring situation.

Measure distances and much more

Quick and effi cient
You can measure distances at the touch of a button, in just a few seconds – even when working on your own. Saving you time and money.
Precise and reliable
The laser makes it possible for you to measure distances precisely to the fraction.
Safe and modern
You can avoid dangerous measurement situations and potential associated accidents, using the modern technology of today.

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 color display presents the measure - ment results and additional information in an easy to read format.
A host of functions to help you quickly and precisely calculate almost any measurement.
An IP54 rate housing provides protection from the elements and job site conditions.

	Digital Pointfinder The integrated digital Pointfinder with a 4x zoom and 2,4” color display makes finding the target at long distances easier. Its high resolution capability provides a sharp, crystal-clear image, that allows you to target your measuring point even in bright conditions.
	Tilt sensor Thanks to the built in tilt sensor, you can quickly and simply measure angles up to ± 45°. The tilt sensor also allows you to calculate horizontal distances over or under obstructions. (horizontal distance function)
	Power Range Technology™ Power Range Technology™ allows you to measure long distances. Measure up to 100 m (325 ft) without a target plate and up to 200 m (650 ft) using a target plate, without having to take a single step.
	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.

The Leica DISTO™ D8 offers, in addition to what the DISTO™ D5 can do, even more attractive advantages:

By means of the integrated BLUETOOTH® technology you can directly transfer data to your computer and thus avoid costly typing mistakes.
The combination of a high precision distance meter and tilt sensor with an intelligent measuring function helps to solve measuring problems that up till now needed considerably more expensive solutions.

	360° tilt sensor The combination of angle and distance measurements allows you to determine distances where conventional methods fail. The horizontal distance, for example, can also be determined quickly and effi ciently past obstacles or the elevation of a tree, even though there is no refl ective point.
	Digital Pointfi nder Thanks to the digital Pointfi nder with its 4x zoom and high resolution 2,4” color display, you can target long range objects quickly and easily with the digital Pointfi nder.
	BLUETOOTH® With integrated BLUETOOTH® technology, measurement results can be wirelessly and accurately transferred to laptops, tablets, and desktop PC running windows’s based operating systems. Thus you can easily process your data in Excel®, Word®, AutoCAD® and other programs.
	Free software The delivery package contains the transfer software “Leica DISTO™ Transfer” – easy to install and with automatic updates. The AutoCAD® plug-in additionally allows convenient planning and drawing with your AutoCAD® software.
	Indirect measurement With the Leica DISTO™ D8 you can also indirectly determine the elevation on inaccessible buildings. Thus the Leica DISTO™ can be a life saver as well.

The perfect way to achieve your measurement goals

Indirect Pythagoras measurement
	Single Pythagoras 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 Pythagoras 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 Pythagoras 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.
Indirect measurements with the tilt sensor
	Tilt measurement The tilt sensor of the Leica DISTO™ D5 measures inclinations of up to ± 45° and the DISTO™ D8 has a measuring range of 360°. That means with this device even overhead inclinations can be measured. This is especially interesting when determining roof slopes.
	Horizontal distance The tilt measurement allows you to determine the 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.
	Height measurement without refl ective points Building or tree elevations that don’t provide suitable refl ection points can be determined with the dual tilt measurement. Point with the laser to the lower target of the requested height and trigger a distance and tilt measurement. Then direct the digital Pointfi nder on the upper target and carry out a tilt measurement.
	Roof slope With this function you can, for example, measure a roof slope of a house from long range distances as well. For this you need to carry out two distance measurements, at which the Leica DISTO™ simultaneously determines the tilt. The fi nal result is automatically calculated from this measurement.
	Altitude Profi le Measurement Measure a known reference mark with the device and then measure from each of the relevant altitude differences. When the measuring points have all been recorded in one direction you can then determine a cross-country profi le with the measured horizontal distance and the height difference.
Special functions
	Trapezoid function The trapezoid function is used to quickly and safely determine roof slopes and frontage areas, for example. You only need to take three measurements, and the result appears on the display.
	Trapezoid 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 trapezoid function can also be used to quickly and safely determine roof slopes and frontage areas.
	Triangle function The triangle function helps you quickly and effi ciently 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.
	Stake Out Function Two different distances (A and B) can be entered in the device and then be used to mark off defi ned measured lengths. At each measured length, the display shows the current marking distance and a direction arrow. Additionally, an alarm signal starts to ring at a distance of 4 inch from the next stake out point.
