This easy-to-use device lets you conveniently and accurately measure surface temperatures from a distance without the need of any direct contact. Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact our helpful customer support team toll-free at 855.686.3835 or by email at support@etekcity.com.
NOTE: The Lasergrip cannot measure the temperature of objects behind glass. Inaccuracy may also occur when exposed to steam, dust or any other contaminants in the air.
NOTE: The Lasergrip LCD will display 'OH' when the measured temperature is above the measurable range, and will display 'OL' when the measured temperature is below the measurable range.
To switch between units of temperature measurement, press the °C/°F button at any time while the Lasergrip is on.
To activate and deactivate the laser, press the laser pointer On/Off button at any time while the Lasergrip is on.
To activate and deactivate the display backlight, press the display backlight On/Off button at any time while the Lasergrip is on.
To adjust the emissivity value before measurement, press the emissivity adjustment mode button, then use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate to the desired value. You may refer to the emissivity reference chart for correct surface emissivity values.
A low battery icon will appear on the LCD display when the Lasergrip's battery power is running low. Immediately replace the battery when the icon appears.
The Lasergrip 1022 measures surface temperature on the basis of distance to spot diameter ratio (D:S). As the distance between the thermometer and the surface increases, the total surface area measured will also increase. With a distance to spot ratio of 12:1 the surface area measured has a diameter of roughly 1/12 the distance.
For the most accurate results, make sure the target has a surface area of twice the corresponding spot diameter. Insufficient surface area will result in inaccurate results. The recommended distance to hold the Lasergrip from the surface of measurement is 14.17 in (36 cm). This creates a spot measurement area of 1.18 inches (3 cm) in diameter.
Distance (D) to Spot (S) size D:S = 12:1
The emissivity of a material is its efficiency in emitting thermal energy. Non-reflective surfaces have a higher emissivity (closer to 1) than reflective surfaces (closer to 0). Inaccurate results may occur when measuring reflective surfaces such as glass, polished wood, and granite.
To take accurate temperature measurement of reflective surfaces with low emissivity, adjust the emissivity value before measurement using the reference chart. Or, place a strip of masking tape over the surface and allow for it to adjust to the temperature of the surface for approximately 30 minutes. Measure the surface, scanning the taped section, eliminating the issue of inaccuracy.
