INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ (General’s) TS01 ToolSmart™
Laser Distance Measurer. Please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly
before using the instrument.
The Laser Distance Measurer (LDM) is designed to replace a tape measure for
professionals such as builders, architects, engineers, surveyors, carpenters,
plumbers, painters, electricians, realtors, home inspectors, HVA system designers
and installers, and carpet/flooring installers and salesmen. The LDM works the
same whether used alone or in concert with an iOS®or Android™smartphone: it
projects a red laser beam onto a target and measures how long it takes the
reflected beam to return to the LDM. This time is proportional to the distance to the
target. The LDM’s range of 100 ft. (30m) makes it suitable for most indoor
measuring tasks and many outdoor jobs as well.
When used in concert with an iPhone®or Android™smartphone, the LDM can
transmit—via Bluetooth®— to the mobile device all measurements and groups of
measurements and calculations it makes. The phone initiates the data transfer
using a free app downloaded from the iTunes®App Store or Google Play Store.
Measured lengths, areas, perimeters and volumes can then be overlaid on photos
that the user can take using the app and the phone’s camera.
KEY FEATURES
• 100 ft. (30m) range
• Accuracy of ±1/16 in. (±1.5mm)
• Displays distances in feet with decimal fraction (default), feet + fractional inches,
inches or meters
• alculates areas, perimeters and volumes
• Uses triangulation to calculate height or length from a distance
• Backlit 4-line L D
• ontinuous on-screen digital readout of LDM's angle with respect to the
horizontal in most measurement modes

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
The LDM’s targeting laser is a lass 2 type that emits less than 1 mW of radiation
at a wavelength between 630 and 660 nanometers.
Avoid direct eye contact with the laser, and do not point it at people or animals. Eye
protection is normally afforded by the blink reflex. U.S. law prohibits pointing a laser
beam at aircraft; doing so is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and
imprisonment.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL BATTERIES
The LDM is ready to use after you install the two supplied “AAA”
batteries in a compartment in the back of the unit. To open the
compartment, use the included flat-head screwdriver to loosen
the single screw holding the battery compartment cover in place
(see photo at right). After opening the extension ruler, remove
the cover and set it aside. Position the batteries so their polarity
marks match the diagram inside the compartment. Replace the
cover and tighten the screw to secure it.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWERING ON AND OFF
To turn the DM on
, press and hold the button. This activates the display,
backlight and laser. It also sounds a chirp, causes the laser icon ( allout 2 of Fig. 2)
to flash, and places the LDM in direct distance measurement mode.
While the LDM is powered on, any push of any button produces a chirp to confirm
that some action has taken place (a measurement was made, an operating mode or
measurement unit was changed, etc.). The only actions that are
not
accompanied
by a chirp are the laser timing out (after 30 seconds of inactivity) for safety reasons
and the backlight timing out (after 10 seconds of inactivity) to conserve battery
charge. The LDM also chirps when it automatically powers off after 3 minutes of
inactivity. The chirp cannot be disabled.
To turn the DM off
manually, press and hold the button. The instrument
will respond with a chirp as it powers off.
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
To make a quick distance measurement:
1. Power the LDM on.
2. Within 30 seconds, point the top of the instrument at a target and press the
button. The distance to the target—in the default measurement unit of
feet with decimal fraction—will be displayed on the bottom line of the display. The
top line will indicate the LDM’s angle with respect to the horizontal. When making
direct distance measurements, always orient the LDM so the top line reads close
to
0.0º

To temporarily change the distance measurement unit, follow the instructions
on p. 10.
If the laser has timed out (i.e., it has been on for more than 30 seconds), or if you
have just made a measurement, you will not see a red dot on the target and there
will be no flashing icon ( allout 2 of Fig. 2) on the display.
To make a distance
measurement with the laser off, you must press the button
twice
—once to activate the laser and once to make the measurement.
See page 20 for additional operating tips.
CHOOSING A MEASUREMENT REFERENCE
The LDM can reference its measurements from the top or bottom of the housing, or
the bottom of the extension ruler (see photo on page 8 for its location).
For most distance measurements, choosing the bottom of the housing as the
reference produces the most accurate readings. Doing so allows you to hold the
bottom of the LDM horizontally against one wall of a room, or vertically against the
floor, and send the laser beam out the top of the unit toward the opposite wall or
the ceiling.
However, for continuous distance (tracking) measurements (see p. 11), using the
top of the LDM as the reference produces the most accurate readings. In tracking
mode, you typically walk the instrument back from a wall to a distance specified on
a blueprint. In this case, what you want to measure is the distance to the wall from
the top of the unit.
The button on the front panel lets you select the bottom or top of the
housing, or the bottom of the extension ruler, as the measurement reference. The
three black icons shown in Fig. 3 below are the corresponding display indications.
When the LDM is powered off and on again, the measurement reference
automatically resets to the default: the bottom of the unit.

CLEARING VALUES/UNDOING ACTIONS
When pressed briefly, the two-function button:
1. Works like the “ lear Entry” button on a calculator to clear the last value
entered in a calculation sequence
2. Works like the “Undo” command on a computer menu to cancel the last
action selected
CHANGING THE MEASUREMENT UNIT
The LDM’s default distance measurement unit is feet with decimal fraction. The
default area measurement unit is square feet, expressed as ft2. The default volume
measurement unit is cubic feet, expressed as ft3.
To temporarily change the distance measurement unit
, press and hold the
button as many times as necessary until the desired unit appears on the
bottom display line. The alternatives to feet with decimal fraction, in order, are
inches (in), feet + fractional inches (expressed as X'Y", where X is a whole number
and Y is a whole number plus a common fraction), and meters (m).
When the LDM is powered off and on again, the distance measurement unit
automatically resets to the default: feet with decimal fraction.
TURNING THE BACKLIGHT ON AND OFF
To turn the display backlight on
, briefly press the button. The backlight
will remain on for ten seconds and then automatically turn off (silently) to conserve
battery charge.
MEASURING DISTANCES
Direct Measurements
To measure the distance to a target:
1. Power on the LDM and select a measurement unit, an appropriate measurement
reference (in most cases, the bottom of the LDM) and an appropriate backlight
state (on for indoor work, off for outdoor work).
2. If the laser icon ( allout 2 of Fig. 2) is not flashing and the laser pointer is
not
visible, press the button to activate the laser. Doing so will sound a
chirp, cause the laser icon to flash, and place the LDM in direct distance
measurement mode.
3. After confirming that the laser is on, level the LDM horizontally by referring to the
top line of the display, aim the unit at a target, and press the button. The
