Leica DISTO X1 Laser Distance Meter
The Leica DISTO X1 Laser Distance Meter is a robust measuring tool built for daily use on indoor construction sites. It measures distances from 0.05 to 100 metres with a typical accuracy of ±1.5 mm. Its rugged housing combines rubber and glass-fibre reinforced plastic to protect the optical and electronic parts. With a 2-metre drop-tested design, it offers reliable performance in demanding working conditions.
Built to cope with dust, dirt and wet conditions, the Leica DISTO X1 Laser Distance Meter has an IP65 protection rating. This means it is dust-tight and resistant to water jets, making it easy to clean under running water. The illuminated display helps users read measurements clearly, while the range of built-in functions makes everyday measuring tasks quicker. Distance, area, volume and Min/Max measurements are available, along with addition, subtraction and a painter function.
For easier handling of measurement records, the Leica DISTO X1 Laser Distance Meter offers both NFC and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity. NFC lets users transfer measured values to the DISTO Plan app by placing the device near a compatible smartphone, without a separate pairing process. Bluetooth provides another wireless option for use with DISTO Plan and compatible apps. Together, these features make it easier to record, view and manage measurements while working on site.
Key Benefits
- Durable housing protects the device against the knocks and drops that can occur during daily construction work.
- IP65 protection keeps dust out and resists water jets, allowing the meter to be cleaned under running water.
- A measuring range of up to 100 metres helps users complete both short and longer indoor distance checks.
- Typical accuracy of ±1.5 mm supports precise measurements for day-to-day building work.
- NFC connectivity transfers measured values to the DISTO Plan app without a separate pairing process.
- Bluetooth 6.0 provides a further way to send measurements to compatible apps.
- An illuminated display makes readings easier to see in areas with poor lighting.
- Built-in area, volume and painter functions reduce the need for separate manual calculations.
- Permanent measurement and Min/Max functions help users check changing distances and identify the shortest or longest readings.
- Up to 7,000 measurements per set of batteries supports extended use between battery changes.
Common Applications
The Leica DISTO X1 Laser Distance Meter is suitable for a range of indoor construction and measuring tasks, including:
- Measuring distances across indoor construction areas.
- Checking room lengths and widths during building work.
