Establish 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 establish a Bluetooth® connection between the measuring tool and the smartphone/tablet. Please note that the connection must always be established via the app, not via the settings menu of your smartphone/tablet.
No. You can use maximum 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 using .
Depending on on-site conditions (obstacles, sunlight, etc.), it is possible to maintain a connection between your smartphone/tablet and the measuring tool for 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.
To establish a connection between your thermal imaging camera and your smartphone/tablet, please activate the WLAN connection on both devices. The WLAN function on the GTC 400 C Professional can be activated via the camera's tool settings. Once WLAN is activated on your thermal imaging camera, the connection key is shown at the bottom of the tool display. Make sure that WLAN is activated on your smartphone/tablet. Then open the thermal imaging function in Measuring Master and tap on the WLAN symbol in the app to establish a connection between the two devices. Now follow the instructions in the app.
The images can be transferred to a PC via the GTC 400 C Professional's micro-USB port and viewed on the PC.
For Windows operating systems (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), we also provide the free GTC Transfer Software, with which you can edit and document your saved thermal images. The software can be downloaded at https://www.bosch-professional.com/gtc.
No, you can only use one thermal imaging camera with the app at any time.
Depending on on-site conditions (obstacles, humidity, radio interference, etc.), it is possible to maintain a connection between your smartphone/tablet and the thermal imaging camera over a range of up to 50 m.
If the tool has been connected to the smartphone/tablet before, the two devices will connect automatically as long as WLAN is activated on both devices, the devices are within range and the smartphone/tablet is not connected to any other WLAN network.
Please check whether the password was entered correctly. If the message "invalid password/incorrect password" appears or there is still no connection after having selected the GTC 400 C Professional hotspot, please check whether your thermal imaging camera is already connected to another smartphone/tablet. If the GTC 400 C Professional is actively connected, this will be indicated by the WiFi symbol in the top right-hand edge of the display being highlighted in white. (Not connected: ; connected:
)
The more images are stored on the GTC 400 C Professional, the longer the download process will take.If the transfer fails repeatedly or takes longer than usual, this could be due to other WLAN networks disrupting the connection. In this case, we recommend carrying out the transfer in a location with fewer interfering factors.

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 time & date set in your smartphone/tablet PC, as the time & date are applied based on the time & date set in 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 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.
1. Android: The images are also stored without measurements in a separate folder in the gallery on the smartphone/tablet.
2. iOS: No images are stored in the gallery.
If there is an existing connection between your smartphone/tablet and the GIS 1000 C Professional, measured values can be added directly after setting the measurement point by measuring with the GIS 1000 C Professional or by selecting a measured value from the gallery on the device. If no measurement point is selected, a selection window appears with options for how you can use the measured value. Alternatively, this can be done by tapping and holding the measurement point and then selecting the “Edit” option. In both cases, the measurement point flashes if a measurement can be added directly.
