During a recent telephone conversion with a customer, a question was raised. How tough are the Leica DISTO range?
Well in short, very.
With the introduction of the Leica DISTO X310 model, there is no tougher instrument. Built to with stand any knocks and falls commonly encountered on a building or construction site.
Although the standard range of instruments have been designed with a strong magnesium housing encasing the laser and receive lens, they are precision instruments so will not be too happy if dropped into water.
So Leica Geosystems have incorporated several new features into the Leica DISTO X310 design.
The impact-resistant housing has been strengthened with special fibreglass-reinforced plastic bracing.
Passes drop tests from 2m height thanks to the thick rubber housing on the outside which protects the module against possible damage.
A special rubber sealing strip protects all components – even the battery compartment.
The Leica DISTO X310 is the only laser measuring instrument to pass rigorous tests according to IP 65. That means it can be jet washed to remove dirt without affecting the internal components and submerged in water.
The internal components have been design with abuse in mind. Less parts to go wrong and more importantly components that works better under arduous conditions.
OK, the Leica DISTO X310 will not be able to measure complicated architectural structures like the Leica DISTO D210 or Leica DISTO D510 models. But if you work on a building site or require a heavy duty instrument, then this is the instrument for you.
