If the Battery Door is opened before the above, the settings are not saved.
Unit was not held steady.
Rare error and generally means that the user is trying to perform the user cal in a VERY bad location.
The math algorithm inside the instrument is trying to find a converging solution to the data gathered from the user calibration. If the data is flawed (usually because the cal was done in an unsuitable area with large magnetic field variations), the instrument can’t find a decent solution.
Similar to the Fail3. The algorithm inside the instrument is given a certain amount of time to find a solution. If it takes to long to come to a solution, this error is reported
Make sure to face approximately North and follow the instructions on the orientation of the laser during user calibration.
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.
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.
The TruPulse was not able to acquire a target.
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.
The TruPulse® 360° gives you the option of taking distance measurements using feet, meters, or yards, and inclination measurements using degrees or percent slope.

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.
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.
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.
Yes, when turning the digital Pointfinder on it is indicated in the display that you can change the brightness with the left and right arrow keys on the keypad.
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 independent of any parallax error.
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°.
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.
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°.
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 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.
Yes, the memory in the device can be erased by pressing the delete button when in the memory. All memory values will be deleted.
