WELCOME TO TRIGONON TRAINING
Here you will find our Training Lessons
To get the best results with the Trigonon, it’s important to spend a little time training on both the device and the software. Practicing at home or in the office before heading out into the field will make measuring swimming pool covers or liners much easier and more efficient.
We’ve designed these lessons to help you build a few key skills that will set you up for success. Taking the time to get comfortable with the Trigonon now will save you time and frustration later.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can explore our Advanced Training lessons for handling more complex measurements and tasks.
Lesson 1
The first step to using the Trigonon is creating an account. No credit card is required to sign up, and you can start using our AB app with a tape measure for free. You’ll only be asked for payment information when you’re ready to purchase a unit.
How to Create Your Account
- Go to: measurewith.thetrigonon.com or click Sign Up from the homepage.
- On the sign-up screen, click Sign Up For New Account.
- Enter your company name and a U.S.-based mobile number (this helps us prevent spam).
- We’ll send you a text message with a verification code. Enter the code to verify your account.
That’s it — you’re all set! Your new account is now active, and you can start using the app immediately.
Now that you have created an account you can order a Trigonon Unit.
- Login and click on the Account tab.
- Then press Device Orders.
Follow the prompts to order a new device. Notice, you will need a valid credit card to purchase a unit. You will also be required to fill out a valid email address and shipping address.
If units are in stock they will typically ship out within 3 business days. If out of stock you will need to email support to get an accurate ship date. Units are shipped out via USPS and we can provide a tracking number upon request.
With your purchase of a Trigonon unit, you’ll receive a durable carrying case and a power cable. The case is specifically designed to protect your Trigonon when not in use.
To ensure longevity, avoid exposing the Trigonon to direct sunlight or high temperatures, such as leaving it on your car’s dashboard on a hot summer day. As a precision tool, it requires careful handling.
While the carrying case is waterproof, the Trigonon itself is not. Do not expose the unit to moisture, as damage caused by water is not covered under the warranty.
Every Trigonon device comes with a Trekking Pole that is adjustable and allows you to move the Trigonon Device up and down the pole.
This is useful on areas where you have different levels involved. An example would be measuring underwater stairs, for a liner replacement. You would simply use the attachments on the Trekking Pole, to lift the unit higher every time you want to drop down to another stair in the water. Then, you can easily measure the edge of each step.
We also provide an attachment that can be fitted to the end of the Trekking Pole that fits the corner of the stairs. It allows the very edge of the stair to measured!
You’ve now been informed about the proper care of the your Trigonon device and learned about the attachments that come with it.
Here are a couple more items you need before you start measuring pools on a continuous basis:
1. TWO White Buckets – These will be used for your AB points. We have found white buckets are the best for attracting the targeting and measuring lasers. Most pool companies have a few 5-gallon buckets that they can use for measuring. However, if you need two clean, white buckets, you can order directly from Walmart and have them shipped to your nearest location, so you get free shipping
Here is a link: White 5-gallon Bucket at Walmart
2. TWO Clamp-on Umbrellas – If you are working where direct sunlight is hitting the white buckets, we have found that shading the buckets allows the measuring laser to work better and faster. By using an umbrella that clamps onto the white pails you purchased, it will allow the bucket to still be shaded in direct sunlight. You can also purchase them at Walmart.

Lesson 2
One of the key features that sets the Trigonon Swimming Pool Measuring Device apart is our Patent Pending Green Targeting Laser. Unlike traditional measuring devices that use low-power red lasers, which are nearly impossible to see in bright sunlight, our high-power green laser is designed specifically for outdoor visibility, even in direct sunlight. This makes aiming and targeting much easier and more accurate.
However, due to the brightness and power of the green laser, there are some important safety precautions to follow:
- Always wear the provided green safety glasses when operating the Trigonon. This helps protect your eyes and makes the laser easier to see.
- Ensure anyone in the vicinity also wears eye protection if they may be exposed to the laser beam.
- Only aim the laser at approved targets such as the AB targets, pool walls, or pool features. Never point the laser at people, animals, reflective surfaces, or aircraft. Pointing the laser toward the sky or unauthorized objects may violate Federal Laws.
- Turn off the green laser when operating indoors. The high-power laser is not necessary for indoor use and may pose an unnecessary safety risk. Please refer to the Setup and Configuration section of the manual to learn how to disable the laser when working indoors.
The green laser is a powerful tool that significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of your measurements, but it must be used responsibly. Always prioritize safety when operating the Trigonon.

The Trigonon uses voice prompts to help guide the user during the learning process. These prompts can be turned on and off by the user. To access these setting look for the Capture Control drop down on any measuring or setup screen.
- Enable Targeting Laser – Turns the green targeting laser on and off during the measuring process. Turn off for indoor measuring.
- Use Screen Prompts – While on the application will pop up an OK message before taking any measurement to slow down the process. This is good to leave on while you are learning. When you get better at using the Trigonon, you can speed up the process of measuring by turning this off.
- Use Voice Prompts – Another training feature that tells you what to do. Turn off to speed up the process.
- Speak Results – As it implies, this will speak the distance measured after the measurement is taken.
The Hover Timeout (Sec) setting is also located on the Capture Controls screen. The default is 20, we advise using between 10 – 20. This is the amount of time in seconds before a failed measurement will stop trying. If the laser gets lost or you are taking bad measurements the Trigonon will continue to try and get a good measurement for this amount of time before it stops and you have to try again.
The Hover Time for Find (secs) setting is defaulted to 2 seconds. When performing a Hover measurement on a bucket, the Trigonon requires a short period to take multiple readings and accurately determine the bucket’s center.
- Too short: If the hover time is too low, the device may not collect enough data, leading to inaccurate measurements.
- Too long: If it’s set too high, you’re simply wasting time without improving accuracy.
For optimal results, keep this setting at 2 or 3 seconds.
