Leica Disto D510 Laser Distance Meter

The Leica DISTO™ D510 is a 14 measurement mode LDM that is accurate to 1/16th of an inch. It is IP65 rated against dust, dirt and rain and features a point finder, a bright LCD screen, a 360° tilt sensor, and Bluetooth Smart.

The D510 laser module can read a target at distances that exceed your ability to see the laser point. With the point finder  -- a 4x zoom digital camera -- you find your target in the display, extending the useable range to the ~650ft max.

The farther you can shoot, the more potential there is for something to get in the way. Smart Horizontal allows you to shoot over obstacles so you can measure the level horizontal distance to your target.

At distance, a small wobble in the tool bounces the laser point in wide arcs. This is sub-optimal for acquiring reflected laser energy.

Simple and Precise Targeting - Pointfinder with 4x Zoom
With the Pointfinder, the Leica DISTO™ D510 takes measurements with perfect accuracy and in unfavorable light conditions. This is a decisive advantage when working outside in sunny weather. Even if the red laser point is no longer visible to the naked eye, the target can be seen exactly in the crosshairs on the display.

Unlimited Number of Measuring Options - 360° Tilt Sensor
The Leica DISTO™ D510 is equipped with a 360° tilt sensor. This means that it is not only possible to measure angles, but horizontal distances too! Combined with the Pointfinder, amazing indirect measurement options areprovided. Hence, measurements are possible where no reflective target point is available e.g. when determining the height of a tree or when measuring the height of a reflecting glass facade. These could not be measured with a conventional laser distance meter.

Efficient Height Profile Measurement
Using this function, the Leica DISTO™ D510 displays distances and height differences to an established reference point. This makes it easy to quickly make profile measurements, without having to use more expensive measuring methods. Also, this function can be used to check whether cross beams are straight, the levelness of existing floors, among other applications.

Quick Sketching - Bluetooth® Smart with App
The Leica DISTO™ D510 is capable of more than just measuring. Measurement data can be conveniently and accurately transferred using the integrated Bluetooth® Smart Technology. The free app Leica DISTO™ sketch supports the creation of ground plans or tables on iPhone or iPad. Dimensions can even be entered onto photographs with no effort whatsoever.

Modern Ergonomics
Providing the simplest possible operation of complex measuring functions is a must for Leica Geosystems. The Leica DISTO™ D510 has been adapted to the user interface of modern cell phones. Furthermore your favourite functions can be assigned to a pair of selection keys, for quick access with a single button press. And the integrated, easy-to-understand help function does not leave you in the lurch on site.

Tough and Easy to Clean - IP65
The housing and keypad are specially sealed against water and dust. Cleaning under running water is also no problem. Furthermore the laser distance meter can be used in all weather conditions, being dust-proof and water jet protected.

ISO Standard 16331-1 – The Standard for Laser Distance Meters
The range and accuracy of laser distance meters depend on light conditions and reflectivity of the measuring target. For Leica Geosystems it is important that the instruments not only perform under perfect laboratory conditions, but above all under the kind of everyday working conditions encountered on construction sites. This is why, working together with external experts, the company have developed a standard by which laser distance meters can be tested and compared with each other.
