Introducing the new Leica DISTO™ D3a

The Leica DISTO™ D3a provides an enhanced multi-functional instrument designed for advanced indoor long distance measuring. A larger display enbles the instrument to clearly display the readings through 4 lines. The functions have been enhanced with the introduction of triangle areas and horizontal distance measuring.

Smart Horizontal Mode
Thanks to the combination of distance and tilt measurements, the operator can determine the horizontal distance absolutely precisely. At a touch of a button the indirect hieght can be also displayed.

45°Ttilt sensor
The in-built tilt sensor does more than just determine angles. As mentioned above, the combination of angle and distance measurement opens up completely new measuring possibilities. Such as being able to quickly and efficiently determine horizontal distances over the top of obstructions, or the height of a structure using Pythagoras.

Eyelet Sight
The eyelet sight will enable the operator to locate Leica DISTO™ D3a laser dot by aligning the front and back sights. Ideal when measuring over long distance, where the operator can not see the red laser dot.
