Leica DISTO D810 touch Frequently Asked Questions Manual page 2

▪
What is the angular range of the tilt sensor in the Leica DISTO™ D810 touch?
The integrated tilt sensor in the DISTO™ D810 touch functions in the range 360° and at a transverse tilt of <
±10°.
If the device is held at > ±10° transversely, the info code "i156" appears in the display and indicates that the
device is tilted too much.
▪
Can the tilt sensor of a Leica DISTO™ D810 touch be calibrated by the user?
You can recalibrate the zero level of the integrated tilt sensor. In the settings choose the icon for calibration.
When you select calibration you will be guided through the process.
Please follow this procedure to recalibrate:
1) Lay the unit down on a flat surface. The side with the type label should be down on the table.
2) Carry out the first measurement by pressing "ON/DIST" key on a level surface. The device confirms the
measurement.
3) Turn the device horizontally by 180° and place it again on absolutely flat surface with the type label side
down.
4) Carry out the second measurement by pressing "ON/DIST" key on a level surface. The device confirms
the measurement.
5) Pick the unit up and then place it the laser facing up on an absolutely flat surface.
6) Carry out the third measurement by pressing "ON/DIST" key on a level surface. The device confirms the
measurement.
7) Keeping the laser up on the flat surface, rotate the device horizontally by 180° while keeping it in the
same location on the flat surface.
8) Carry out the fourth measurement by pressing "ON/DIST" key on a level surface. The device confirms the
measurement.
9) After 2 Sec. the device goes back to the basic mode and you have completed the calibration procedure.
Please note: The calibration process can be proceeded by placing the unit with the lens up or down to the
surface. A better accuracy in the calibration procedure is achieved having the back of the unit down on the
surface and the lens up.
▪
Is it possible to obtain detailed information about the measurements taken?
Yes, it is possible to obtain detailed information in the DISTO™ D810 touch. If detail information is available
this will be indicated with two small arrows in the centre of the status bar in the display. You can now navigate
with the arrow keys up and arrow key down between the available measurements.
▪
The Leica DISTO™ D810 touch is the first laser distance meter providing functions for measuring with
the picture. What is the accuracy of such measurements?
The accuracy highly depends on how the function is used. Best results can be achieved when the measuring
object is displayed maximum size at the DISTO™. In such case the accuracy is below 1% of the measured
object. This applies for width, area and diameter measurements.
▪
What accessories are recommended for the Leica DISTO™ D810 touch?
Leica Tripod TRI 70, TRI 100, TRI 120, TRI 200
For measuring longer distances we highly recommend the use of a tripod. A tripod enables to aim precisely
on targets even for longer distances. We also recommend using the tripod together with the Leica FTA 360
adapter or Leica TA 360 adapter for best results.
Leica TRI 70
This is a compact tripod with lower working height. It is 45 cm long (folded) and therefore very compact.
Leica TRI 100
This tripod additionally has a tripod head and a larger working height.
