Discover all you need to know about the quality and technical finesse found in a STABILA laser distance measurer

Laser distance measurers from STABILA – purposeful design meets innovative technology. STABILA develops new products with this guiding principle, products that make even the most complex measurements easy for building experts. And the laser distance measurers are no exception. They have been specifically designed for fast, precise measurements over large distances and they save time, effort and money.

What should you bear in mind when selecting a laser distance measurer from STABILA?

Laser distance measurers

There are several things to consider when selecting a laser distance measurer. This is especially true for tradespeople who need to take measurements and draw up quotes accurately and productively to save time and money (material used, for example).

STABILA laser distance measurers are an indispensable tool for professionals. They offer the most important measuring functions and are designed for measurements up to 100 ft for basic devices, especially indoors, and up to 660 ft for premium devices outdoors. The premium devices have many other convincing functions, always guaranteeing that measurement results will be calculated quickly. It is a worthwhile investment that makes light work of all your everyday measuring tasks.

Points to consider to find the right measuring tool for your particular needs:

  1. Will I be using the measuring tool indoors, outdoors or both?
  2. Over what distances do I usually measure?
  3. Do I just need the basic measuring functions, such as distance, area and volume, or do I need a tool offering more functions?
  4. Do I need an interface for sharing the data measured?
  5. Do I want to process the measurement data directly on the tool so I can draw up a quotation at speed?
  6. How precisely do I need to measure?

If you already know the answers to these questions, get to know the STABILA range and the advantages of laser distance measurers.

Practical, versatile and precise measurements:
What is behind STABILA’s laser distance measurers?

The precision measuring system

The precision measuring system

The laser distance measurer sends out a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the target point and detects the reflection. It then measures the time between those two points, and converts this information to a distance. This calculation is done through high-end optics and precision electronic circuitry.

Measuring functions

Measuring functions

The measuring devices are designed for versatile use on the building site. All STABILA laser distance measurers take care of four important basic measuring functions – length, area, volume and continuous measurement – for all routine measurements on the building site. Depending on the version, some devices are actually equipped with 8 or even 18 measuring functions. This guarantees that measurement results will be calculated quickly.

Compact, tough and sophisticated

Compact, tough and sophisticated

The laser measuring devices are easy to handle and operate. They are equipped with an impact-resistant housing with shock-absorbent STABILA soft grip casing – durable and suitable for the building site. The high-quality display’s background lighting ensures that the different modes and options are easy to recognise even in the worst lighting conditions and the large characters are really easy to read.

ISO-certified distance measurers – controlled measurement quality

The measuring range and accuracy specifications fulfil the international standard ISO 16331-1. These specifications for laser distance measurers are directly dependent on lighting conditions and the reflective behaviour of the target point. To ensure that measuring distance and accuracy specifications are valid under realistic building site conditions, the ISO 16331-1 standard specifies the conditions under which the given specifications for accuracy and measuring distances must be maintained. All STABILA laser distance measurers fulfil these requirements.

Measurement data transferred and documented in a clever way

For many professionals, smartphones and tablets have become indispensable everyday tools. Do you use mobile devices on the building site? If so, you will be impressed by the options.

The Bluetooth® Smart 4.0 radio technology integrated into the LD 250 BT and LD 520 STABILA laser distance measurers enables the measurement data to be transferred wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet as sketches, PDFs and photos.

Documentation on site thanks to Bluetooth® Smart Technology 4.0: The Bluetooth® Smart 4.0 radio technology integrated into the LD 250 BT and LD 520 STABILA laser distance measurers enables the measurement data to be transferred wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet as sketches, PDFs and photos. This enables you to document everything straight away on site and communicate it to your team via your mobile device.

STABILA Measures measurement app

STABILA has developed a free app for your smartphone or tablet – STABILA Measures. This app enables you to produce drawings of areas, spaces and buildings, or make quick sketches by hand and dimension them directly on the screen. This saves you precious time when taking measurements and preparing quotations. The app features an intuitive user interface and a wide range of functions. Wirelessly transfer measurements from your laser to your mobile device – as sketches, blueprints or photos. The mobile app is compatible with STABILA laser distance measurers with Bluetooth® Smart 4.0 technology.

Digital target locator – the smart way to measure

The STABILA LD 520 laser distance measurer features a built-in camera and 4x zoom for accurate locating over large distances of up to 660 ft. This is a practical solution in particular for taking outdoor measurements when the sun is bright and the laser point is not easily visible.

With the large, colour camera display, you can align the LD 520 to the target point precisely – the high-resolution colour display camera also provides a very sharp image even over large distances. The display brightness can be easily adjusted to suit ambient light conditions. The light sensor automatically controls the display lighting, which conserves the batteries.

In the cross-hairs: exact targeting even in strong sunlight

Very useful in strong sunshine and over long distances: you no longer have to look for a little red laser point. Enlarge or reduce the view with the 4x zoom. Cross-hair sight helps you aim at the target point. The distance is then measured precisely.
