New: Now the Leica DISTO™ D3a is also available with BLUETOOTH®. Due to this technology, measurement results can be wirelessly and accurately transferred to Pocket PCs and PCs. Furthermore, the Leica DISTO™ D3a BT is equipped with “Smart Horizontal Mode™, tilt sensor, calculation possibilities for rectangular and triangular areas, volumes, room dimensions and various types of Pythagoras functions.


  • BLUETOOTH® – reliable data transfer
  • Leica DISTO™ transfer software and AutoCAD® plug-in
  • Smart Horizontal Mode™
  • Inclination measurement (± 45°)
  • Illuminated 4-line display
  • Multifunctional end-piece
  • Robust with IP 54

Leica DISTO D3a BT – The Leica distance meter with Bluetooth® Technology and Smart Horizontal Mode™.

The Leica DISTO™ D3a BT has all the characteristics of the Leica DISTO™ D3a such as “Smart Horizontal Mode™, tilt sensor, calculation possibilities for rectangular and triangular areas, volumes, room dimensions and various types of Pythagoras functions.

However the unit also includes error free data transfer via Bluetooth™.

Smart Horizontal Mode™
Thanks to the combination of distance and tilt measurements you can determine the horizontal distance precisely and simply. If you take a measurement at an inclination of ± 45°, the Leica DISTO™ D3a BT always calculates the shortest distance. So you can measure quickly and easily, even over the top of objects and people.

Multiple functions
The Leica DISTO™ D3a BT can calculate rectangular and triangular areas, volumes, room dimensions and various types of Pythagoras functions. A time delay release and enough memory for up to 20 measurements round off the instrument’s wide range of functions – a concept designed to make your work life easier.

Brilliant and clearly arranged display
The results are displayed on the large (2”), clearly arranged and high contrast display. At the touch of a button, the display makes supplementary information available about the measurements, e.g. indirect height, room dimensions, angle information or room angles.

BLUETOOTH®
With integrated BLUETOOTH® technology, measurement results can be wirelessly and accurately transferred to Pocket PCs and PCs. Thus you can easily process your data in Excel®, Word®, AutoCAD® and other programs.

Free software
The delivery package contains the transfer software “Leica DISTO™ Transfer” – easy to install and with automatic updates. The AutoCAD® plug-in additionally allows convenient planning and drawing with your AutoCAD® software.
