Usage
The Bosch GLM 50-22 Professional laser rangefinder is designed for precise distance, area, and volume measurement on construction sites, in architectural planning, or for interior fitting tasks.
Advantages
- Measures distances accurately from 0.05 m to 50 m with ±1.5 mm precision
- Robust IP65-rated housing provides protection against dust and water jets for reliable use in harsh environments
- Shock-absorbing casing resists drops from up to 1.5 meters onto concrete surfaces
- Intuitive digital color display with large numbers ensures clear readability under various lighting conditions
- User memory stores up to ten measured values for easy data recall and documentation
Specifications
- The device features a durable design with a shock-resistant body and IP65 protection rating; constructed using quality materials suitable for professional settings[4][7].
- Carries an IP65 certification against dust ingress and water jets; withstands impact from drops of up to 1.5 meters[4][7]. Meets typical site requirements.
- Covers a measuring range of 0.05 m to 50 m with a typical accuracy of ±1.5 mm per measurement[1][3]. Typical measurement time is less than half a second, maximum four seconds; operates on two AA batteries (included), weighing approximately 200 grams[3][7]. Measurement units: metric (m/cm/mm) or imperial (ft/in/ft-in).
- Differentiating features include a digital color display, selectable units system, memory function for ten values, and compatibility with tripod mounting via integrated thread[1][3]. Laser class: Class 2 (635 nm red laser); automatic power-off after five minutes preserves battery life.
How it works
The GLM 50‑22 emits a focused laser beam towards the target surface and measures the time taken by the beam’s reflection to return to the device. This time-of-flight calculation yields an accurate digital reading of distance that displays instantly on its screen—for quick measurements by one person in diverse environments[6][10].
