Levelling Status
Levelled – horizontal and vertical
information correct
Move Alert – DISTO™ has been moved
Not Levelled – no information about

Free Station
• Free Station function allows the user to relocate with a new
set-up and add relevant information to the existing drawing.
• Useful method when is not possible to measure all the desired
data, from one single set-up.
• Please ensure good visibility between Leica DISTO™ device
and the points to measure.
• Requires a DST360 adapter or the Smart Base from the
DISTO™ S910 must be folded down.
