New Leica DISTO™ D8 – FeaturesDouble tilt measurement with 1 measured distance

You have to measure the height of a tree?

You have to measure the heights of windows from the floor to set up a scaffold?

With this function you make a first measurement to a reference point as e.g. trunk of a tree or base of a building. After this you only have to aim to the point you want to measure the height of and take the reading. Since the second measurement is only a tilt measurement you don’t need a reflective target (e.g. leaves or windows).Please note that both measurements need to be in one vertical line and in one vertical plane.

18

New Leica DISTO™ D8 – FeaturesDouble tilt measurement with 1 measured distance

Target Groups for this function:

Facade engineers – measure heights for making a quotation

Forestry, landscaping – taking up tree population

Scaffolder – taking up situation for planning a scaffold

Architect – checks or mapping out for renovation planning

And many more …

19

New Leica DISTO™ D8 – FeaturesDouble tilt measurement with 2 measured distances

You have to measure the length and pitch of a roof or the facade of a pitched building?

You have to measure the absolute height of a building?

With this function you make a first measurement to the upper point of the object and than to the lower point. Both times the Leica DISTO™ measures distance and angle. You will get the direct distance between these two measurement points. In the second result you will find additional information like the height difference, horizontal distance and the angle. Please note that both measurements need to be in one vertical line, but not in the same plane as explained in the previous function.

20

New Leica DISTO™ D8 – FeaturesDouble tilt measurement with 2 measured distances


Architect – checks or mapping out for renovation planning

Crane operator – measures the height of objects

Roofer, carpenter – measure length and pitch of a roof for quotation

Solar power plant or collectors – size and pitch for calculation

General construction – measure on pitched objects

And many more …

21

New Leica DISTO™ D8 – FeaturesProfile measurement

You have to measure the profile of a land to set up a scaffold?

You have to measure several heights on a base plate?

You need to check the topography of a land?

With this function you can measure repetitively height differences to a reference point. If the reference point has a defined height towards a system (has already a height to another reference or you need values above sea level) you can first enter a value H for such reference point.Please note that if you want to measure a profile you need to measure each point in vertical line and then go for more lines in a certain distance rectangular to the profile lines (e.g. a profile line each 1m).Since too flat measurements on a surface can cause deviations please use the target plate or a reference staff and measure the same point for reference and profile points afterwards.

22

New Leica DISTO™ D8 – FeaturesProfile measurement


Architect – mapping out for planning

Surveyor – mapping out

Scaffolder – checking levels for setting up a scaffold

Landscaper – checking levels

General construction – checking levels of e.g. base plates

Leica DISTO™ D8 – FeaturesBluetooth®

You have to measure often same procedures?

You want to prevent from expensive mistakes when e.g. twisting digits?

You are surveying with GPS and need to measure objects where there is no satellite access?

You want to transfer data from your Leica DISTO™ to a computer to make a drawing of a room layout in AutoCAD®?

With Bluetooth® you are able to transfer wireless to a computer. You can send distances or angles from your Leica DISTO™ to a PC (Notebook, Tablet PC, UMPC) or Pocket PC. With the free Leica DISTO™ transfer software you are able to use the data in any software on your computer like e.g. Excel®, Word®, CAD.The also free AutoCAD® plug-in allows you to transfer the data directly into the program so you can make the drawing just on the jobsite. The DISTO™ with its navigation keys will allow most of the control from itself.Please note that you can choose whether you want to transfer all data, result only, choose from any data in the display or even choose from the memory.

24


Please note that you can choose whether you want to transfer all data, result only, choose from any data in the display or even choose from the memory.

Please note, the complexity of installing a Leica DISTO™ to your PC and Pocket PC has been reprogrammed and is therefore improved with the latest versions of Leica DISTO™ transfer for PC and PPC

Architect – creates or updates blueprints

Surveyor – measures hidden points for GPS applications

Real estate, appraiser, insurance companies – surveying property

Floor layer, painter – does quotations on jobsite

Important accessories for Leica DISTO™ D8Strong partners for strong tools

For measurements over long distances or doing indirect measurements we recommend to use one of the following accessories:

+ Stable stand

+ flexible use

+ allows accurate aiming for ind. Measurements- minor deviations possibe due to gap between moving axis and laser axis

+ Stable stand

+ flexible use

+ allows accurate aiming for ind. Measurements+ absolute accurate due to moving point in laser axis

New Leica DISTO™ D8 – Applications

Carpenter: Needs to know the exact inclination of the roof for follow up work like doing the isolation

With the 360° inclination sensor you can measure inclinations accurate by +/- 0.1° in all positions, like e.g. overhead

35


Fire brigade: Needs to know the height at a building in order to get the right ladder and position it correctly

With the indirect height measurement you can easily and quickly make such measurements. You will save time which might save lifes.

36


Landscaper: Needs to know the height of a tree for checking the space before cutting it down.

With the indirect height measurement you can measure heights even one point is not reflective for laser measurement

37


Surveyor: Needs to add a building into a map he is taking up with a GPS system.

With measuring distance and angle at once and transferring the data via Bluetooth® a surveyor can measure up points that are not accessible with a GPS system (hidden points). The transfer with Bluetooth® will ensure that no mistakes are done when writing down.

38


Window maker: Needs to measure up exactly before going in production.

With the Leica DISTO™ D8 you can transfer data to an Excel® form from any measurement like e.g. distances, angles, max. tracking, …

39


Property manager: Needs to measure up an appartment.

Measure up and just send all data into a PC (laptop, tablet PC, UMPC) or Pocket PC. You can prevent expensive errors when e.g. twisting digits during writing down data.
