Why buy Leica DISTO E7500i?

It is perfect for checking dimensions in a 3d space, levelling and organizing recorded information, but it is much more than a tape measure replacement. The D1 connects to mobile devices, making it easy to save, organize, and share measurements.

It excels at complex measurements such as ourTrapezium Function, which allows you to measure the slope, length, and area of a roof from one location. Tough anough to be washed under running water. It can read a target at distances that exceed your ability to see the laser point. With the pointfinder camera that has a 4x zoom digital camera, you can find your target in the display crosshairs, which extends the useable range to the 660’ (200m) maximum for certified accuracy.

How do I know if the device is still measuring in the digital Pointfinder mode?

When using the digital Pointfinder in any function, especially in the Long Range (LR) Mode, you will see a clock icon on the top of the display. The clock stays in the display until the measurement is finished. Please do not move the device before! 

How can I get one extra year of warranty for the Leica DISTO™ D510?

Our standard warranty of 2 years can be extended by one additional year if you register your device on our website www.disto.com within eight weeks of the purchase date. If the product is not registered, a two year warranty applies. 


Can I use the Leica DISTO™ D510 with rechargeable batteries?

Yes, it is possible to use with standard rechargeable batteries. The more powerful the charger system is, the longer you can measure with the DISTO™. We offer a powerful charger system, which is ideal to use with DISTO™: Leica universal quick charger with 2 Micro AA NiMH batteries. For more information, please check our accessories. 

New interface and improved outdoor screen

The Disto E7500i interface was completely redesigned to be more intuitive and modern. Your favorite functions can be assigned to a pair of selection keys for quick access with a single press. Integrated help guides you through each available function. The E7500i's outdoor display visibility is an improvement even beyond previous digital point finder models. With 1x, 2x, and 4x digital zoom, even in bright sunny conditions you can easily find your target in the cross hairs on the display.

Quickly make profile measurements

The Disto E7500i is protected against water, dust and shock with a IP65 protection class rating. To obtain an IP65 rating, the case must be tight enough to provide complete protection from dust entering any of the electronic components. It also can sustain water projected by nozzle against the enclosure from any direction without harmful effects after 3 minutes of continuous spraying.

Smart Indirect Measurements

Thanks to the combination of distance and tilt measurements, you can determine the horizontal distance precisely - even over obstructions. With the help of the tilt sensor, you can also determine indirect heights. This function is very helpful if walls, hedges or people are between the instrument andthe target.

Can the Leica DISTO™ D510 also be used to measure horizontal angles?

No, the integrated tilt sensor only measures vertical angles. If the device is held at a transverse tilt angle greater than ±10° the display shows an info code “i156”, which means that the device is required to be held level (transversely). 

What is the measuring accuracy when using the direct horizontal measuring function?

For example, if a distance of 10 m is measured at an angle of 10°, the error on uncertainty on measurement on the direct horizontal distance (fd) is 6 mm. -> in order to have best results with the direct horizontal distance measurements, considering the deviation of the tilt sensor, use the Leica DISTO™ D510 as flat as possible. The horizontal distance error (fd) and the height error (fh) can be calculated as follows: fd = horizontal distance error fh = error in height d = measured distance a = angle at which the distance is measured fa = possible angular error fd = d * cos (a) – d * cos (a + fa) fh= d * sin (a) – d * sin (a + fa) Further information and a table of measuring accuracies you can find online in the FAQ under “Measuring Accuracy”. 

How accurate is the tilt sensor in the Leica DISTO™ D510?

The accuracy of the tilt sensor in the device is ±0.2° to the laser beam respectively and ±0.2° to the housing of the device. The tilt sensor has a range of 360°  What units of tilts are integrated into the Leica DISTO™ D510? You can set the DISTO™ D510 to use different tilt units. Select in the settings “Units inclination” and choose between ° , %, in/ft and mm/m. -> The level function in the right hand top corner of the display can also be switched on/off in the settings “level”. It is always set to 0.0° and cannot be changed into a different unit for tilts. 

How many zoom levels does the Leica DISTO™ D510 have?

The integrated digital Pointfinder in the device has 1x, 2x and 4x zoom. You can see in the middle of the status bar of the screen, which zoom level you have selected. To change from one zoom level to the next one you have to press the “up/down arrow keys”.

Can the brightness in the digital Pointfinder be adjusted?

Yes, when turning the digital Poinfinder on it is indicated in the display that you can change the brightness with the left and right arrow keys on the keypad. 

Why is the laser dot on short distances not centred in the crosshair?

It is the parallax effect due to the distance between the laser window and the digital Pointfinder optics. This effect occurs only when the digital Pointfinder is used on targets below 10m. In this case the laser dot appears displaced in reference to the crosshair. This is not an error ! For distances below 10m please rely on the real laser dot. 

What is the angular range of the tilt sensor in the Leica DISTO™ D510?

The integrated tilt sensor in the DISTO™ D510 functions in the range 360° and at a transverse tilt of < ±10°. If the device is held at > ±10° transversely, the info code “i156” appears in the display and indicates that the device is tilted too much. 

Can the tilt sensor of a Leica DISTO™ D510 be calibrated by the user?

You can recalibrate the zero level of the integrated tilt sensor. In the settings choose the icon for calibration. When you select calibration you will be guided through the process. Please follow this procedure to recalibrate:

1) Lay the unit down on a flat surface. The side with the type label should be down on the table.
2) Carry out the first measurement by pressing “ON/DIST” key on a level surface. The device confirms the measurement.
3) Turn the device horizontally by 180° and place it again on absolutely flat surface with the type label side down.
4) Carry out the second measurement by pressing “ON/DIST” key on a level surface. The device confirms the measurement.
5) Pick the unit up and then place it the laser facing up on an absolutely flat surface.
6) Carry out the third measurement by pressing “ON/DIST” key on a level surface. The device confirms the measurement.
7) Keeping the laser up on the flat surface, rotate the device horizontally by 180° while keeping it in the same location on the flat surface.
8) Carry out the fourth measurement by pressing “ON/DIST” key on a level surface. The device confirms the measurement.
9) After 2 Sec. the device goes back to the basic mode and you have completed the calibration procedure. Please note: The calibration process can be proceeded by placing the unit with the lens up or down to the surface. A better accuracy in the calibration procedure is achieved having the back of the unit down on the surface and the lens up.

Is it possible to obtain detailed information about the measurements taken?

Yes, it is possible to obtain detailed information in the DISTO™ D510. If detail information is available this will be indicated with two small arrows in the centre of the status bar in the display. You can now navigate with the arrow keys up and arrow key down between the available measurements. 

Can the historical storage memory of 30 values in the device be erased?

Yes, the memory in the device can be erased by pressing the delete button when in the memory. All memory values will be deleted. 

Which batteries should I use for the Leica DISTO™ D510?

In general you can use any alkaline battery or any rechargeable batteries (2xAA). In the scope of delivery we provide high quality Lithium batteries (not rechargeable) and we recommend to use such batteries or any (NiMH) batteries. Lithium batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries allow more than twice as many measurements as with regular Alkaline batteries. 

Can I enter a value that is constantly added / subtracted to my measured value? (Offset)

Yes, in the “Settings” you can go to the “Offset Icon” and enter a value that will constantly be added / subtracted from your measured distance value. If an offset value is entered you will see the adequate symbol - a triangle with plus or respectively minus - next to the laser symbol. -> If you want to set the offset value back to zero, enter the setting “Offset” and reset it.
