Bosch Glr 225 Laser Distance Measure R Manual

							-21-
with varying temperatures or 
indirectly received reflections can
affect the measured value. These
effects are due to physical
reasons and can therefore not 
be compensated for by the
rangefinder.Sighting with the Alignment Aid (see figure K)
With the alignment aid  8, sighting
over larger distances is a lot
easier. For this, look alongside
the aligning aid on the top side of
the rangefinder. The laser beam
runs parallel to this line of sight.
Measuring with the Extension Pin (see figures C and G)
The extension pin  16is suitable
for measuring from inside
corners (to measure diagonals)
or from hard to reach areas, such
as from roller-shutter rails. 
Slide the latch  16of the
extension pin sideward in order to 
swivel out the pin. 
Set the corresponding reference 
point for measurements with the
extension pin by pushing 
button  10.
The extension pin  16swivels back
in again by pushing it toward the
housing to the stop. The pin
automatically locks in place.
Aligning with the Vial Level
The vial level  6allows for simple
leveling of the rangefinder. This
allows for easier sighting of target surfaces, especially over longer
distances. 
In combination with the laser  
beam, the vial level 
6is not 
suitable for leveling.
Working with Tripod
The use of a tripod (not included)
is particularly advisable for larger 
distances because of the 
steadiness it provides. The
rangefinder tool can be screwed
onto a commercially available
tripod using the 1/4 thread  17on
the bottom side of the housing. 
Set the corresponding reference 
point for measurement with a
tripod by pushing button  10(the
reference point is the center 
of thread).

Trouble Shooting
IssueRemedy
The indications “Hot” or “Cold” are indicated in the display;
measurement not possible.
The rangefinder is not within the 
operating temperature of – 10 °C to
+50 °C (+14 °F to +122 °F).Wait until the rangefinder has 
reached the operating temperature
Battery indication “B” is indicated
Battery voltage decreasing 
(measurement still possible)Replace batteries
Battery indication a flashes, measurement not possi ble
Battery voltage too lowReplace batteries
The indications “Error.” and “- - -” are indicated in the display
The angle between the laser beam 
and the target is too acute.Enlarge the angle between the laser 
beam and the target
The target surface reflects too 
intensely (e.g. a mirror) or
insufficiently (e.g. black fabric), or
the ambient light is too brightWork with the laser target plate 25
(optional accessory)
The laser beam outlet 21or the
reception lens 
22are misted up
(e.g. due to a rapid temperature
change).
Wipe the laser beam outlet 21
and/or the reception lens22dry
using a soft cloth
The calculated area or volume value 
is larger than 99990 ft
2or ft3.
Change unit of measure to “m”
The indication “Error.” flashes at the top in the d isplay
Addition/Subtraction of different
types of measurementsOnly add/subtract of the same type
Unreliable measuring result
The target surface does not reflect 
correctly (e.g. water, glass).Cover off the target surface
The laser beam outlet 21or the
reception lens 
22are covered.
Make sure that the laser beam 
outlet 
21or the reception lens 22
are unobstructed

The rangefindermonitors the correctmode for each
measurement. Whena defect is
determined, only the symbol 
shown aside flashes in the display.
Accuracy Check of the
Rangefinder
The accuracy of the rangefinder
can be checked as follows:
  Select a permanently unchangeable measuring  section with a length of approx.. 
3 to 10 meters (10 to 33 feet); 
its length must be precisely 
known (e.g. the width of a room 
or a door opening).
  Measure the distance 10 times  after another.
The difference in values must not
amount to more than a maximum
of ±2.0 mm (±1/8 in). Keep a record of the measurements in
order to compare the accuracy at a 
later time.
IssueRemedy
Measuring result not plausible
Wrong reference point setSelect reference point that 
corresponds to measurement
Obstruction in path of laser beamLaser point must be completely on 
target surface
Store and transport the 
rangefinder only in the supplied
protective case. 
Keep the rangefinder clean at all 
times.  
Do not immerse the rangefinder 
into water or other fluids. 
Wipe off debris using a moist and 
soft cloth.  
Do not use any cleaning agents 
or solvents. Maintain the reception lens 
22in
particular, with the same care as 
required for eye glasses or the
lens of a camera. 
In all correspondence and spare 
parts orders, please always 
include the 10-digit article 
number given on the type plate of  
the rangefinder. 
In case of repairs, send in the 
rangefinder packed in its
protective case  23.

DISPOSAL
Rangefinders, batteries, accessories and packaging  should be sorted
for environmental-friendly recycling.
