Battery Installation & Replacement

Two new pre-installed 1 5V AAA batteries come inside your Lasergrip.
Follow the steps below to properly set up your Lasergrip.

For first-time use, pull the insulation strip out of the battery compartment and discard. [Figure 7.1]
Note: You do not need to remove the batteries to pull out the insulation strip.
Open the battery compartment, and make sure the batteries are correctly placed inside the battery terminals [Figure 7.2]
Close the battery compartment. [Figure 1.3]

Note:

The low battery indicator will appear on the display when the power is low. Immediately replace the battery when the icon appears.
Remove the batteries before storing if the Lasergrip is not being used for a long period of time.

Operation

Surface Temperature Measurement

Note:

The Lasergrip cannot measure the temperature of objects behind glass.
Measurements may be inaccurate when the Lasergrip is exposed to steam, dust, or other contaminants in the air.
The Lasergrip can only measure surface temperature, and cannot accurately measure internal temperature.

Press the trigger to turn on the Lasergrip
Note: Make sure the insulation strip is removed from the battery compartment.
Point the Lasergrip at the surface you want to measure.
Press and hold the trigger to measure surface temperature. The laser will activate for aiming guidance.

Note:

Optionally, press to turn the laser on/off.
To scan live temperature readings on a surface, keep holding the trigger as you move the Lasergrip.

Release the trigger and the display will show the last measured temperature. The max temperature reading will show on the bottom of the display

Note: The Lasergrip will display "HI" when the measured temperature is higher than the measurable range, and "LO" when the measured temperature is lower than the measurable range.

Sensor Care

Avoid touching the sensor. This will interfere with measurements.
To clean the sensor, wipe with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Do not wipe or clean with other materials

Unit Conversion

To change the temperature unit, press while the Lasergrip is on.

Laser Activation

To turn the laser on/off, press while the Lasergrip is on.

Emissivity/Maximum Temperature Mode

To adjust the emissivity value before measurement, press then press and to change to the desired emissivity value.

Note:

Press and for more than 7 second to quickly adjust the emissivity value.
See the Emissivity Reference Chart for standard surface emissivity values.

To change back to Max Temperature Mode, press once more.

Distance-to-Spot Ratio

The distance-to-spot (D:S) ratio determines the accuracy of the reading taken by the Lasergrip. The smaller the surface you want to measure, the closer you should hold the Lasergrip to the surface.

The Lasergrip's 12:1 D:S ratio means that when held 12 inches from a surface, the Lasergrip measures a "spot" that is 1 inch in diameter When the Lasergrip is held 24 inches away, the "spot" will be 2 inches, and so on. The greater the distance, the larger the spot you are measuring. For best results, make sure the surface you want to measure is at least twice the size of the spot the Lasergrip is measuring.

If the spot you are measuring is too small, the temperature reading will be less accurate. Additionally, if the spot is too large, the temperature reading may also be less accurate, because temperature varies more over larger surfaces.

The recommended distance to hold the Lasergrip from a measured surface is 14.17 inch / 36 cm. This will measure a spot of 1.18 inch / 3 cm in diameter.

Distance-to-Spot Ratio
Distance (D) to Spot (S) size D:S = 12:1

Emissivity

Emissivity measures how well a surface emits thermal or infrared energy, ranging from 0.00-1 00. Non-reflective surfaces have a higher emissivity (closer to 1) and reflective surfaces have a lower emissivity (closer to 0).
The Lasergrip is meant for high-emissivity surfaces, and may not accurately measure polished, shiny, or reflective surfaces.

To take accurate temperature measurements of reflective surfaces with low emissivity, adjust the emissivity value before measurement using the Emissivity Reference Chart.

Optionally, place a strip of masking tape over the reflective surface and allow it to adjust to the surface temperature for 30 minutes. Then, measure the taped section to increase the accuracy of the temperature reading.

Important Safety Information

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and follow all instructions and safety guidelines in this manual.

Do not point the laser at another person or animal.
Avoid any eye contact with the laser Laser radiation may cause eye damage Do not point the Lasergrip at an aircraft Do not allow children to use the Lasergrip
Do not use the Lasergrip to determine whether a highly reflective surface is safe to touch. Temperature measurement may be inaccurate, which may cause burns.
Keep the Lasergrip away from objects that produce strong electromagnetic fields, such as arc welders and induction heaters.
The Lasergrip measures surface temperature, not internal temperature. Do not use the Lasergrip to measure body temperature..
Do not expose the Lasergrip to direct sources of heat for extended periods of time
Do not use the Lasergrip near explosive gases or other potentially explosive areas.
Household use only.
