Establishing a Bluetooth® connection |
First make sure that Bluetooth® is activated on the measuring tool and on the smartphone/tablet, and that the devices are within range. In the app, under , you can then use a Bluetooth® connection between the measuring tool and the smartphone/tablet. Please note that this connection must always be established via the app, not via the settings menu on your smartphone/tablet.
We recommend that you use our GLM Transfer Software, which is available for free download, to transfer measured values from your GLM to your computer. The measurement images taken by the GIS can be transferred to a PC via USB.
No. You can use no more than one measuring tool. Check first whether Bluetooth® is activated on the GLM/GIS and on the smartphone/tablet, and whether both devices are within range. Alternatively, you can open the selection via .
Depending on on-site conditions (obstacles, sunlight, etc.), it is possible to maintain a connection between your smartphone/tablet and the measuring tool over up to approx. 10 metres.
If the tool has been connected to the app before, it will be automatically recognised when it is reconnected as long as the app is open on the smartphone/tablet, Bluetooth® is activated on both devices and the devices are within range.

The unit of measurement corresponds to the unit selected in the app, regardless of the measuring tool. To change the unit of measurement, switch to "Settings" and select "Units of measurement". Confirm with "Save". All existing and new app measurements will be shown in the new selected unit of measurement.
When individual measured values are transferred from a GLM in real time, their time & date is the time & date when the measurement was taken. Please check the date and time date set on your smartphone/tablet PC, as the date and time are applied based on the date and time set on your smartphone/tablet PC.
The aluminium rail absorbs a lot of the signal; therefore data transfer via Bluetooth® is not an intended use. However, the measured angle can be stored in the measured value list and can then be transferred once the tool is taken out of the R 60 Professional.
You can enter a measured value using the GLM software by plotting an element in the photo and then measuring, selecting a measured value directly from the measured value list or entering it manually.
The best possible image quality is determined by the capabilities of your smartphone/tablet. Before exporting, the app checks the maximum possible image resolution that your device can process and adapts the pixel size. This ensures that the images are exported.

By tapping and holding the measurement point, you have the option of editing ("Edit" – measurement point flashes), moving ("Move" – the measurement point shakes) or deleting ("Delete") your measurement point.
The “Detailed Plans” function is suitable for creating detailed floor plans. The wall view function also enables walls to be individually adapted. Angles, doors, windows and sockets can be inserted and their dimensions changed. You can also add texts and audio memos here. This function is especially suitable for architects, civil engineers, estate agents, electrical engineers, etc.
The “Quick Sketch” function enables you to create a floor plan sketch with 90° angles. A Quick Sketch can be converted to a detailed plan. The “Quick Sketch” is deleted after the conversion. This function is especially suitable for everyone who wants to get a quick impression of the floor plan, such as tilers, planners, etc.
If your GLM has a connection to a smartphone/tablet, the measured values are automatically transferred in real time. By clicking on an object (wall or measuring line), you can either assign real-time measured values to this object by measuring with the GLM or you can assign saved measured values from the measured value list.
You can view and use your measured values by selecting an element and sliding up the numeric keypad for manual entry in entry mode.

Supported Android devices: Bluetooth®-enabled smartphones from Android 4.3.
Supported iOS devices: iPhone (from 4s).
Tablets are not supported.
You can check which languages the app is available in under the settings in the app.
First, check that Bluetooth® is activated on both your tool and your smartphone and that the devices are within range. Neither of the devices must be connected to any other Bluetooth® device. In the app, you can tap on the Bluetooth® symbol to establish a connection between the laser and the smartphone. Please note that this connection must always be established via the app, not via the settings menu on your smartphone.
No. It can only control one tool at a time.
The typical range is approximately 10 m, depending on the on-site conditions (obstacles, sunlight, etc.). In optimum conditions, the range can be up to approximately 30 m.
If the tool has been connected to the app before, it will be automatically detected when it is reconnected as long as the app is open on the smartphone, Bluetooth® is activated on both devices and the devices are within range.

To use this function, the GCL 2-50 C / CG Professional must be connected to the RM 3 rotating base. To do this, the GCL 2-50 C / CG Professional must be inserted into the support rails on the rotating base so that the LED on the base indicates that both devices are successfully connected. The tool can now be rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise via your smartphone at three different speed settings.
This function allows you to select three different profiles:
- Maximum laser visibility (reduces the battery runtime)
- Balanced profile (average laser visibility, average battery runtime)
- Maximum battery runtime (reduces the laser visibility)
Thanks to hands-free operation via your smartphone, you no longer have to worry about shaking the laser line when trying to make manual adjustments, meaning that you don't have to readjust the GCL 2-50 C/CG Professional.
The green laser beam is particularly useful in bright working environments, such as near to a window, because its visibility is four times greater.
The point concentration of the laser beam means that the red laser points are highly visible in any environment.
The closer the GCL 2-50 C / CG Professional is positioned to the reference point, the better. The shorter the distance between the tool and the reference point, the smaller the standard deviation of the plumb point. Depending on the version of the RM 2 Professional or RM 3 Professional supplied, simply fit it on the GCL 2-50 C / CG Professional and position the plumb point on the reference point. You can then adjust the laser lines precisely.
By connecting the GCL 2-50 C and GCL 2-50 CG Professional to the Bosch Levelling Remote App, the visibility of the laser beam can be controlled. This means that you can, for example, minimise the laser brightness so that the battery runtime is increased.
The energy required to power the RM 3 Professional comes from the non-rechargeable batteries or lithium-ion battery in the GCL 2-50 C / GCL 2-50 CG Professional. An additional separate power supply is not required.
The Bosch Levelling Remote App can, of course, be useful even without the motorised RM Professional multifunctional mount. Although you cannot adjust the laser lines via a motorised base, you still have numerous other functions, such as hands-free control of your GCL 2-50 C / CG Professional.
You can easily connect the laser lines via your smartphone, and activate or deactivate the receiver mode. You can also switch the laser beam on and off. This is particularly helpful if the GCL 2-50 C / CG Professional is positioned in a place that is difficult to access or hard to reach.
You can also see handy status information about the GCL 2-50 C / CG Professional directly on your screen.
