  A single BC-80 clip-on battery provides approximately 10.5 hrs. of continuous distance/angle measurement, or 24 hrs of one measurement every 30 sec., which means an entire day's work can be performed without having to change the battery. The lower power consumption pattern of the DTM-501 Series also mnimizes memory effect on the battery.


Digitization and clever integration of electronic parts in the DTM-501 Series have resulted in a compact and lightweight ECM that boasts an initial distance measurement speed of just 1.0 sec. Accuracy of ±(2 + 2 ppm x D)mm in MSR mode and ±(4 + 2ppm x d)mm in TRK mode is assured, and distance can be displayed in either 0.1mm or 1mm resolution. New multiple-reflection-correction software means that measurements taken using reflector sheets are as fast and accurate as those taken with glass prisms.


Nikon's unique optical system has been further improved for even clearer sighting in all conditions, for example oblique or low-light situations. The new telescope employs a unique linear focusing mechanism that improves focusing at both short and long distances. the focusing knob has also been newly designed to improve ergonomics and operational feeling.


To increase on-site safety and identification of the instrument, the new LLV green color was chosen for the DTM-501 Series.


The keyboard arrangement is ergonomically and logically designed for easy operation and efficiency in the field situations. The keyboard materials have been strictly reviewed and selected for heavy use in harsh environments. The DTM-501's full-cursor keys, menu key, mode key, and HOT key provide easy access to job managing operations, frequently adjusted settings, view/edit of data and a variety of timesaving feature code input methods such as Quick Codes and a stack of previously input codes. The full numeric keyboardis essential for convenient input of angle and target.


New advanced technologies include a lightweight EDM and a lightweight long-life battery. The DTM-501 weighs only 5.5kg / 12.1 lbs. wiht its battery and is water-resistant to IPX4 standards, which state: “Water splashed against the enclosure from any direction must produce no harmfull effects.”
