The DADI DE2A-GF500 is a long-range green-laser electronic theodolite designed for engineering alignment and angular measurement over extended distances. Its coaxial green laser pointing system provides a clearly visible reference along the telescope line of sight, with laser range options of 1 km and 1.5 km. The instrument is suited to applications such as high-rise building alignment, large-structure positioning, tower installation and other long-distance engineering measurement tasks where a visible directional reference is required.
Product Family: The DADI DE2A-GF500 is the long-range green-laser configuration within the DADI DE2A electronic theodolite series. It combines 2″ angular accuracy, an absolute encoder, a 30× telescope and a coaxial green upper laser available with 1 km and 1.5 km effective working distance configurations for long-distance pointing and alignment.
The DADI DE2A-GF500 is the long-range green-laser electronic theodolite configuration within DADI's DE2A series. It is designed for engineering applications that require conventional horizontal and vertical angle measurement together with a visible directional reference over extended distances.
The DE2A-GF500 is available with 1 km and 1.5 km effective green-laser working distance configurations under good outdoor visibility conditions. It also provides 2″ angular accuracy, an absolute encoder angle-reading system, a 30× erect-image telescope, a 47 mm objective aperture and single-axis liquid-electric compensation.

The DE2A series is DADI's electronic theodolite product family. It includes standard electronic, red-laser, green-laser, long-range green-laser and autocollimation configurations. Within this family, the DE2A-GF500 is the long-range green-laser configuration.
| Model | DE2A Series Configuration | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| DE2A | Standard Electronic Theodolite | General electronic angle measurement with laser plummet |
| DE2A-L | Red Laser Configuration | Red upper laser with effective working distance up to 300 m |
| MPE-02L | Green Laser Configuration | Green upper laser with effective working distance up to 300 m |
| DE2A-GF500 | Long-Range Green Laser Configuration | 1 km / 1.5 km effective working distance configurations |
| DE2A-AC | Autocollimation Configuration | Precision alignment and specialized measurement applications |

The DE2A-GF500 is available in 1 km and 1.5 km effective working distance configurations under good outdoor visibility conditions. Both remain DE2A-GF500 configurations rather than separate model families.
The green upper laser is coaxial with the telescope sighting direction, providing a visible directional reference for long-distance pointing and alignment work.
The specified laser spot size is ≤10 mm at 500 m. For the 1.5 km configuration, the specified spot size at 1500 m is less than 30 mm.
The absolute encoder angle-measurement system provides 2″ angular accuracy with a minimum display increment of 1.0″.
The instrument uses a 30× erect-image telescope with a 47 mm effective objective aperture, 1°30′ field of view and 1.5 m minimum focusing distance. Its single-axis liquid-electric compensator operates within a ±3′ range.
The 1 km and 1.5 km options are two working-distance configurations of the same DE2A-GF500 model. The longer-distance option does not use a separate model name.

Long-distance directional reference for alignment and positioning during high-rise construction.
Visible long-range pointing for installation and alignment of towers and other tall engineering structures.
Angular observation and directional reference for large structural components and long-distance engineering work.
The coaxial green laser provides a visible directional reference when a standard short-range upper laser configuration is insufficient.
Yes. The DE2A-GF500 is the long-range green-laser configuration within DADI's DE2A electronic theodolite series. It extends the visible green-laser pointing distance beyond the standard MPE-02L green-laser configuration.
No. Both are DE2A-GF500 configurations. The difference is the effective green-laser working distance configuration rather than a separate model name.
The DE2A-GF500 is available with 1 km and 1.5 km effective working distance configurations under good outdoor visibility conditions.
The specified angular measurement accuracy is 2″ (0.6 mgon), using an absolute encoder angle-reading system.
The specified spot size is ≤10 mm at 500 m. For the 1.5 km configuration, the specified spot size at 1500 m is less than 30 mm.
Yes. The DE2A-GF500 uses a coaxial green upper laser aligned with the telescope sighting direction.
Yes. The green upper laser is used for pointing and alignment, while the internal Class 2 laser plummet is used for instrument centering. These are separate laser functions.
Typical applications include long-distance engineering alignment, high-rise construction, tower installation and positioning of large engineering structures.
