Remote control via the Bosch Levelling Remote App

The measuring tool is equipped with a Bluetooth® module which uses radio technology to enable remote control via a smartphone with a Bluetooth® interface.

The Bosch Levelling Remote App application (app) is required to use this function. You can download this in the app store for your terminal device (Apple‌ App Store, Google‌ Play‌ Store).

Information about system requirements for a Bluetooth® connection can be found on the Bosch website at www.bosch-pt.com.

When remote controlling via Bluetooth®, poor reception conditions can cause time delays between the mobile terminal device and the measuring tool.

Establishing/Ending a Connection to a Mobile Device

After the measuring tool has been switched on, the Bluetooth® function is always switched off.

To switch on the Bluetooth® function for remote control:

  • Briefly press the Bluetooth® button (2). The button will slowly flash to provide confirmation.
  • If the measuring tool has already been connected to a mobile device and this mobile device is within range (with the Bluetooth® interface activated), the connection to this mobile device is automatically re-established. The connection is successfully established as soon as the Bluetooth® button (2) lights up continuously.

The Bluetooth® connection may be interrupted if the distance between the measuring tool and the mobile device is too great or is blocked, and if there are any sources of electromagnetic interference. Should this occur, the Bluetooth® button (2) will flash.

To establish a new connection (first-time connection or connection to another mobile device):

  • Ensure that the Bluetooth® interface is activated on the mobile device and that Bluetooth® is activated on the measuring tool.
  • Load the Bosch Levelling Remote App. If multiple active measuring tools are found, select the appropriate measuring tool.
  • Press and hold the Bluetooth® button (2) on the measuring tool until the button begins rapidly flashing.
  • Confirm the connection on your mobile device.
  • The connection is successfully established as soon as the Bluetooth® button (2) lights up continuously.
  • If it is not possible to make a connection, the Bluetooth® button (2) continues to flash rapidly.

To switch off the Bluetooth® function:
Briefly press the Bluetooth® button (2) so that its light goes out or switch off the measuring tool.

Measuring Tool Software Update

If there is a software update available for the measuring tool, a notification will appear in the Bosch Levelling Remote App. To install the update, follow the instructions in the app.

During the update, the Bluetooth® button (2) will flash quickly. All of the other buttons will be deactivated and the laser lines will be switched off until the update has been successfully installed.
