Leica DISTO™ D2 9

Instrument Set-up
Adjusting measuring reference
Distance is measured from the front
of the device.
Press button 2 sec and ref-
erence from front is set per-
manently.
Distance is measured from the rear of
the device (standard setting).

The orientation of the endpiece
is automatically detected and
the zero point is adjusted accord-
ingly.

Operations
Ope rations
Measuring single distance
Aim active laser at target.
Target surfaces: Measuring
errors can occur when meas-
uring to colourless liquids, glass,
styrofoam or permeable sur-
faces or when aiming at high
gloss surfaces. Against dark
surfaces the measuring time
increases.

Operations
Permanent / Minimum-Maximum measuring
Used to measure room diagonals
(maximum values) or horizontal dis-
tance (minimum values). The min-
imum and maximum distance
measured is displayed (min, max.).
The last value measured is displayed
in the main line.
Stops permanent / minimum-max-
imum measuring.
Leica DISTO™ D2 15

Operations
Add / Subtract
The next measurement is added to
the previous one, respectively sub-
tracted from the previous one.
The result is shown in the main
line and the measured value
above. This process can be
repeated as required. The
same process can be used for
adding or subtracting areas or
volumes. In this case press
DIST to show the result.
Leica DISTO™ D2 16

Operations
Area
Aim laser at first target point. Aim laser at second target point.
The result is shown in the main
line and the measured value
above. Painter function: Press +
or - after starting the first meas-
urement. Measure and add or
subtract wall lengths. Measure
finally height for second length
to get the wall area.
Circumference is displayed.
Leica DISTO™ D2 17

Operations
Volume
Aim laser at first target point. Aim laser at second target point.
Aim laser at third target point. Circumference and wall area are dis-
played.

Memory (last 10 results)
Last 10 values are displayed. Navigates through last 10 values.
