Indirect measurements with the tilt sensor
Tilt measurement
The tilt sensor of the Leica DISTO™ D5 measures inclinations
of up to ± 45° and the DISTO™ D8 has a measuring range of
360°. That means with this device even overhead inclinations can
be measured. This is especially interesting when determining roof
slopes.
Horizontal distance
The tilt measurement allows you to determine the horizontal
distance, even if the object cannot be directly targeted. This is
particularly useful when obstructions like walls or hedges stand
in the line of sight.

Height measurement without refl ective points
Building or tree elevations that don’t provide suitable refl ection
points can be determined with the dual tilt measurement. Point
with the laser to the lower target of the requested height and
trigger a distance and tilt measurement. Then direct the digital
Pointfi nder on the upper target and carry out a tilt measurement.

Roof slope
With this function you can, for example, measure a roof slope
of a house from long range distances as well. For this you need
to carry out two distance measurements, at which the Leica
DISTO™ simultaneously determines the tilt. The fi nal result is
automatically calculated from this measurement.

Altitude Profi le Measurement
Measure a known reference mark with the device and then measure
from each of the relevant altitude differences. When the measuring
points have all been recorded in one direction you can then
determine a cross-country profi le with the measured horizontal
distance and the height difference.
