91st Function levelLeica DISTO™ plus 1.0.0 GBdeGBfritesnlja)With each of the distance measurements you can use:• a simple distance measurement,• a value from stack/ mermory or• a measurement with time delay release.)For short distances, a good base behind the instrument is sufficient for mechanical alignment. )You will obtain the best results if the Leica DISTO™ plus is rotated around a fixed point (rear edge, thread position) and the axis of the laser beam passes through this axis. The Leica DISTO™ plus should not be placed on a camera tripod without an adapter, as the axis of the laser beam would be 70 to 100 mm above the instru-ment’s axis of rotation. Without the adapter this would lead to significant height deviations in the measurements. Determination with two pointsFor estimating the height/ width of buildings.

The data connection must be built up by the application software on a Pocket PC or PC. As long as the connection is being built up, this icon will be blinking.)If during 120 seconds after switching on the Bluetooth® no connection is established with the Pocket PC or PC, then the Bluetooth® is switched off automati-cally.
11 2nd Function levelLeica DISTO™ plus 1.0.0 GBdeGBfritesnljaSwitching off the Bluetooth® )Before switching off the Bluetooth® , always change to the first function level Briefly press.Bluetooth® is switched off,when this icon is no longer visible)If still in the second function level, the Bluetooth® cannot be swictched off. This is a safety precaution to prevent an accidential interruption of the Bluetooth® connection.Before the Leica DISTO™ plus can be switched off, the Bluetooth® function has to be switched off. The direction arrowsD5-Z14The eigth arrow keys below the Leica DISTO™ plus keyboard are used to input directions (orthogonal and diagonal) when generating a spatial drawing. Trigger a measurement in the usual way (even if the second level is active, these keys remian functional), the value appears in the display. Select the arrow key that corresponds to the direction needed for your spatial drawing. When this arrow key is pressed, the distance is transferred according to value and direction to the data receiver (Pocket PC or PC). Depending on the software used, the arrow keys can also control the cursor (e.g. Excel).Transfer of the measured valuesPress the arrow key briefly. A a thin line will be drawn to scale.D5-Z15Confirmation (or deletion) of a trans-ferred measuring valueD5-Z16
12User Information Leica DISTO™ plus 1.0.0 GBdeGBfritesnljaPress briefly to confirm that the correct line was drawn. The line is then drawn thicker with the measurement dispayed.Press briefly to clear a wrong line. .Is the measurement is still displayed in the Leica DISTO™ plus, it can be transferred again by pressing the correct arrow key. Other functions are described in the manual of the software used.During data transferAs long as there is no confirmation of a successful data transfer from the Pocket PC or PC, no new measurement can be triggered. Appears and "240" blinks, if after 2 seconds no data transfer occurs.Press briefly to acknowledge the display. Repeat measurement and data transfer.Remark to the softwareThe two free software progams "plus-draw" and "plus-XL" are included to demonstrate the basic applications of the Leica DISTO™ plus and are designed to perform simple tasks (spatial drawings with measurements , data transfer into an Excel table etc.)Leica Geosystems gives no warranty on the free software nor on their functionality and does not offer any support. Leica Geosystems is not liable for any damage resulting from the use of the free software and is not obligated to make corrections on them or to develop additional functions for them (updates, upgrades etc.).There are a number of commercially available software programs that provide the required functions. Please visit our homepage www.disto.com for details.User InformationRangeIn daylight (outdoors) always work with a laser viewfinder (see page 13). If neceesary, shade the target. If required, use a target plate.Increased range:At night, at dusk and when target area is in the shade.Reduced range / increased measuring time:Against mat and dark surfaces (also plants and trees) a reduction of the range may occur as well as an increase in measuring time. Rough surfacesOn a rough surface (e.g. coarse plaster) measure against the centre of the illuminated area.To avoid measuring to the bottom of plaster joints:Use target plate, 3M "Post-it" or board.Transparent surfacesTo avoid measuring errors, do not measure towards colorless liquids (e.g. water) or (dust free) glass, styropor.or similar semi- permeable surfaces. For materials and liquids unfamiliar to you always take a trial measurement.)When aiming through panes of glass, of if there are several objects in the line-of-sight erroneous measure-ments can occur.
13 Technical DataLeica DISTO™ plus 1.0.0 GBdeGBfritesnljaWet, smooth or high-gloss surfaces1 Aiming at a "Acute" angle deflects the laser beam. The Leica DISTO™ plus may receive a signal that is too weak (error message 255).2 If aiming at a right angle, the Leica DISTO™ plus may receive a signal that is too strong (error message 256).Inclined, round surfacesCan be measured with the laser.Requirement: There is enough area on the target surface for the laser spot.Using a target plateUse target plates 563875 (DIN C6) or 723385 (DIN A4’), if the signal is too weak (e 255), if the targeted surface is too rough, if the surface has poor reflection or during dayligh when measuring from more than 30 meters away. • White surfaces: to up approx. 30 m• Brown surfaces: from approx. 30m to 200 m In the fieldLeica DISTO™ plus is equipped with an integrated telescopic viewfinder (2x magnification).With measurements from a distance of 25 m the laser spot is in the centre of the crosshairs.
