points allow to change the 3D Disto’s location or to continue a measurement at a later time, so that all measurements fit together perfectly.

1. Name and place three to five self-adhesive target marks on walls, ceiling or floor around your working area.

2. Measure these target marks and save them as Secure Points.

3. Relocate the 3D Disto or set it up "anywhere" at a later time.

4. Measure the Secure Points again. 3D Disto relocates itself and measurement works can be continued.

3.1 General 3D Disto System Information

General information

Leica Geosystems’ 3D Disto is a three dimensional measuring and projection system that allows to measure points in a room from one setup position and generates 3D data – ready to use or for post-processing.

3D Disto is operated via the Control Unit. Certain functions can also be managed by the RM100 Remote Control.

LEDs for 3D Disto status

LED for battery status

• Green and orange LEDs flash: If 3D Disto is turned ON.

• Orange LED flashes fast: Booting and Self-Levelling Procedure is running.

• Green LED flashes slowly: tilt  3° after Self-Levelling check. 3D Disto is ready for measurement. Tilt sensor is on.

• Orange LED flashes fast: tilt >3° after Self-Levelling check.

• Green LED off, orange LED flashes continuously: An error happened. Refer to "8 Error Messages" for more information.

For experts only: Tilt sensor off

• Green LED flashes slowly, followed by orange LED flashing three times while green LED is off.

If instrument is on and connected to the charger:

• Green LED 1x flashing: Battery is charged to 25 %.

• Green LED 2x flashing: Battery is charged to 50 %.

• Green LED 3x flashing: Battery is charged to 75 %.

• Green LED flashes: Battery is fully charged.
