Modern measurement –
with Leica technology
More than 15 years ago Leica Geosystems brought out the first
hand-held laser distance meter and revolutionised the world market.
Since then we have set the standards for productivity in modern
measuring.
Multifunctional end-piece
Measuring from edges or corners – with the flip-out end-
piece you are equipped for any measurement situation. The
integrated sensor automatically recognises the correct ref-
erence point. Expensive measurement errors are therefore
prevented.
Digital Pointfinder and colour display
The digital Pointfinder with 4x zoom and the large 2.4”
colour display makes targeting easier over long distances.
The high resolution screen ensures a crystal-clear image,
allowing you to measure perfectly, even in bright sunlight.
Bluetooth®
Integrated Bluetooth® technology transfers measurement
results wirelessly and without typing errors to pocket PCs
or PCs. There you can process your data in Excel®, Word®,
AutoCAD® and other programs without delay.
Integrated tilt sensor
The combination of distance meter and tilt sensor
allows the user to take indirect measurements of
distance and heights much more accurately than
with conventional measuring methods.
