The Hilti PD 20 is a laser range meter. It makes
use of a laser beam to measures distances
within the 0.3 m - 100m range with great
precision and without physical contact.
The point from which the measurement is taken
is clearly identified by the red spot. The range of
the tool depends on the reflectance and surface
finish at the point where the measurement is
taken. The reference point on the tool can be
selected for different types of measurements.
Distances between
0.3 and 30 m
- Target the object directly.
- Use the white target plate.
