The Leica Disto D510 Laser Distance Meter is a laser distance meter for outdoor distance measurement up to 200m, combining a digital pointfinder with a 360 degree tilt sensor. The pairing solves a common outdoor problem: in bright sunlight the red laser point is often invisible to the naked eye, but it can still be aimed exactly using the crosshairs on the display, so measurements stay accurate in poor light.
The 360 degree tilt sensor measures angles and horizontal distances, and combined with the pointfinder it opens up indirect measurements that conventional distance meters cannot take, such as the height of a tree or a reflecting glass facade where no reflective target point exists. A height profile function of the Leica Disto D510 Laser Distance Meter displays distances and height differences to a reference point, making it quick to check whether cross beams are straight or floors are level. Functions include minimum and maximum, area and volume, triangle and room angle, painter, trapezium, two- and three-point Pythagoras, inclination tracking, Smart Horizontal Mode, sloped object measurement, height tracking and stake-out, with memory for 30 displays.
The Leica Disto D510 Laser Distance Meter has a typical accuracy of plus or minus 1mm, a laser dot of 6, 30 or 60mm with distance, and the pointfinder offers 4x zoom. Bluetooth Smart transfers data to the free Leica DISTO sketch app for ground plans on iPhone or iPad. The Leica Disto D510 Laser Distance Meter is IP65 rated for water jet protection and dust-tight, runs on 2 x 1.5V AA batteries for up to 5000 measurements, measures 143 x 58 x 29mm and weighs 198g with batteries. The Leica Disto D510 Laser Distance Meter is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.

Product Description
Product Description
The Leica Disto D510 Laser Distance Meter for easy and effortless outdoor distance measurement up tp 200m.
The unique combo of digital Pointfinder & 360° tilt sensor allows measurements which are not possible with conventional distance meters. In addition, with Bluetooth® Smart & attractive free apps, you are prepared for the future.
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 are provided. 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.CD with Leica
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.
