Hazards in use
The Leica DISTO™ is designed for use in areas permanently habitable by
humans, do not use the product in explosion hazardous areas or in aggres-
sive environments.
CAUTION:
ƽ
Watch out for erroneous distance measurements if the instrument
is defective or if it has been dropped or has been misused or modified.
Precautions:

Precautions:
Only use this product as a measuring sensor, not as a control device. Your
system must be configured and operated in such a way, that in case of an
erroneous measurement, malfunction of the device or power failure due
to installed safety measures (e.g. safety limit switch), it is assured that no
damage will occur.

For measurements from a corner, open the positioning bracket until
it locks in place, then push the positioning bracket lightly to the right

The measurement field contains the individual measurements of the
measuring program with reference to a series of separate distance measu-

measurement field and the result bar from one another. A red triangle
indicates whether the selected measuring program has a detailed display

* maximum deviation occurs under unfavourable conditions such as bright sunlight or
when measuring to poorly reflecting or very rough surfaces. Measuring accuracy may
deteriorate by approx. ± 0.1 mm/m for distances above 30 m. In long range mode the
maximum deviation from a distance of 30 m increases to +/- 0.15 mm/m.

Warranty
The Leica DISTO™ D5 comes with a three* year warranty from Leica
Geosystems AG.
The range is limited to 200 m.

More detailed information can be found at: www.disto.com
At night or dusk and if the target is in shadow the measuring range without
target plate is increased. Use a target plate to increase the measurement
range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties.
P
All illustrations, descriptions and technical specifications may be subject to
change without prior notice.
Target surfaces
Measuring errors can occur when measuring toward colourless liquids (e.g.
water) or dust free glass, Styrofoam or similar semi-permeable surfaces.
* To receive the three year warranty, the product must be registered on our website
www.disto.com within eight weeks of the purchase date. If the product is not
registered, a two year warranty applies.
Aiming at high gloss surfaces may deflect the laser beam and lead to measu-
rement errors.
Against non-reflective and dark surfaces the measuring time may increase.
Care
Do not immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp, soft
cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solutions. Handle the inst-
rument as you would a telescope or camera.
