TruPulse® 200

How do I change the measurement units?

The TruPulse 200 gives you the option of taking measurements using Feet, Meters, or Yards. To change the measurement units, long press the down arrow until Units appears in the display. Press the fire button. The current measurement unit will show in the display. Use the up or down arrow to scroll through the options (Feet, Meters, and Yards). Press the fire button to select the displayed measurement unit and return to the main display.

Why are my distance, height, or inclination measurements not accurate?

The tilt sensor may be out of alignment. The integrated tilt sensor measures inclination that the TruPulse uses to calculate horizontal distance, vertical distance, and height. If the inclination is not accurate, then the calculated measurements will not be accurate. For instructions on realigning the tilt sensor click here.

Why won’t any distance measurements show in the display?

The TruPulse was not able to acquire a target.

  1. Aim at the target and try the shot again.
  2. With the fire button held down, the laser will fire for a maximum of 10 seconds. Keep the fire button pressed long enough for the TruPulse to lock onto a target.
  3. The instrument may be set to filter mode. Change to standard target mode by long pressing the up arrow, the display will change to show the current target mode. Use the up or down arrow to scroll through the five different target modes. When Std is displayed push the fire button to select the standard target mode and return to the measurement mode.

TruPulse 360°

How can I find the declination value for my location?

The magnetic declination for your location can be computed by visiting the NOAA’s National Geophysical Data Center website). Declination will be given to you in degrees and minutes. This value will need to be converted to decimal degrees for entry into the TruPulse. Declination will be positive for east or negative for west. For instruction on settings declination in the TruPulse 360 click here.

How do I change the measurement units?

Why am I getting a Fail 3 message when doing the compass (horizontal angle) calibration?
  1. The TruPulse uses the integrated tilt sensor to determine if the unit is being held in the correct orientation during the horizontal angle compass calibration. Realign the tilt sensor and try the calibration again. For instructions on realigning the tilt sensor click here.
  2. The compass is susceptible to magnetic interference and should be kept away from all ferro-magnetic materials and strong magnetic fields when performing the compass calibration. Do not perform the calibration inside a building, or in or near vehicles. For additional information on what may interfere with the compass see the sections on Local Magnetic Attractions and Field Tests for Local Magnetic Conditions.
Why are my azimuth values not accurate?
  1. The compass is susceptible to magnetic interference and
    should be kept away from all ferro-magnetic materials and strong magnetic fields. For additional information, see the sections on Local Magnetic Attractions and Field Tests for Local Magnetic Conditions.
  2. A horizontal angle compass calibration should be performed on-site each time you change locations. For instructions, see the section Horizontal Angle Compass Calibration Routine.
  3. If you have declination turned on in the TruPulse 360°, make sure the value is correct for your location. For additional information on magnetic declination and entering a declination value click here.

TruPoint™ 300

How many zoom levels does the TruPoint 300 have?

The integrated digital Pointfinder in the device has an overview camera and additional 1x, 2x and 4x zoom. You can see in the middle of the status bar of the screen, which zoom level you have selected. To change from one zoom level to the next one you have to press the “up/down arrow keys” or you zoom in on the touchscreen as you are used to on mobile phones.

Can I take photos with the TruPoint 300 and what is the resolution?

Yes, it is possible to take photos and screenshots. The photos taken have a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and screenshots have a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. The photos and screenshots are saved in jpg format.

How can I download my photos from the TruPoint 300 to a computer?

Photos and screenshots can be downloaded to a computer via USB interface. The TRUPOINT 300 will be automatically connected (plug and play). It is now possible to download data from the TRUPOINT 300 by using of a file manager like the Windows Explorer.

Please note: It is not possible to upload data to the TRUPOINT 300 and it is not possible to delete files from the computer. Deleting files must be directly done in the TRUPOINT 300 Gallery function.

Can the brightness in the digital Pointfinder be adjusted?

Yes, when turning the digital Poinfinder on it is indicated in the display that you can change the brightness with the left and right arrow keys on the keypad.

Why is the laser dot on short distances not centered to the crosshair respectively jumps from the middle of the screen to the laser dot?

Since the laser exit is not in the same axis as the camera there will be the so called parallax error. This means that on short distances the laser deviates from the haircross on the display. The TruPoint 300 uses a software which detects the laser dot and corrects the haircross on the display accordingly. This also works in conditions with strong ambient light where the laser dot is not visible to the naked eye and ensures the user is measuring to the laser dot independently to any parallax error.

How accurate is the tilt sensor in the TruPoint 300?

The accuracy of the tilt sensor in the device is ±0.1° to the housing of the device. To the laser beam the maximum deviation can be up to -0.1° and +0.2°. This applies at room temperature (20°C – 30°C). At any other temperatures the maximum deviation increases by ±0.1°.

What is the angular range of the tilt sensor in the TruPoint 300?

The integrated tilt sensor in the TruPoint 300 functions in the range 360° and at a transverse tilt of < ±10°. If the device is held at > ±10° transversely, the info code “i156” appears in the display and indicates that the device is tilted too much.

Why can I do levelling of the TRUPOINT 300 respectively must do it for some of the functions?

If measurement results should refer to a horizontal plane (e.g. absolute measurements or measurements to use in CAD systems) the instrument must be calibrated right before measuring. Doing this errors from slightly inclined measuring bases are automatically compensated. The range for this levelling is +/- 5°.

Which area is measured when using the Smart Area Function?

The area given by the measured points will be measured. So if the area is inclined as it is e.g. on a roof of a building the real area will be measured.

The TruPoint 300 includes functions for measuring with the picture. What is the accuracy of such measurements?

The accuracy highly depends on how the function is used. Best results can be achieved when the measuring object is displayed maximum size at the TRUPOINT 300. In such case the accuracy is below 1% of the measured object. This applies for width, area and diameter measurements.

Can the historical storage memory of 30 values in the device be erased?

Yes, the memory in the device can be erased by pressing the delete button when in the memory. All memory values will be deleted.

How can I program my favorite (mostly used functions) on the self programmable keys?
