Operation

Surface Temperature Measurement

1. Point the Lasergrip towards the desired surface to be measured.
2. Press and hold the measurement trigger The scan symbol will be flashing while you are taking your measurement.
   
3. Release the measurement trigger; the temperature reading will appear on the LCD display. The temperature reading will hold on the display for 15 seconds before the device automatically turns off.
4. For continuous measurements, press and hold the measurement trigger while scanning the measured surface. The Lasergrip will display the maximum temperature at the bottom of the screen when taking continuous measurements.
   
   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.
   • The Lasergrip will display "OH" if the measured temperature exceeds the maximum temperature range and will display "OL" when the measured temperature is below the minimum temperature range.

Non-Contact Voltage Testing

The Lasergrip 1025D is able to wirelessly test electrical devices for live AC voltages ranging from 90V to 600V.

1. Press the NCV button to set the Lasergrip to measure voltage.
2. The screen will show "NCV" indicating that it is ready for measurement.
3. Point the Lasergrip towards the desired surface to be measured.
   
4. The lines on the screen will rise according to the voltage. The Lasergrip will sound off a low beeping tone indicating low voltage.
   
5. Keep moving the Lasergrip along the surface to find the maximum voltage. When all 4 lines reach the top of the screen, the maximum voltage has been found. At this point the Lasergrip will sound off a steady beeping tone.
   

Unit Conversion

Press the OC/OF button to switch between temperature units at any time while in surface temperature measurement mode.

Laser Activation

Press to activate and deactivate the laser pointer at any time while the Lasergrip is on.

Display Backlight Operation

While pressing the measurement trigger, press to turn on or turn off the display backlight.

Distance-to-Spot Ratio

As the distance between the thermometers and the target increases, the surface area measured also increases. With a distance-spot ratio 12:1, the area measured also has a diameter of roughly 1/12 the distance. (i.e. When standing 12 feet away from the surface being measured, only a 1-foot diameter on that surface is measured.) For the most accurate results, make sure the target has a surface area of twice the corresponding spot size at the given distance.

Emissivity

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.
Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95. Other materials, such as polished metal surfaces, have a different emissivity level, which should be taken into account for accurate temperature measurement. One way to improve accuracy is to cover the surface with non-reflective masking tape or flat black paint, and then measure when the temperature reaches that of the underlying surface.

Emissivity Adjustment

Press the mode button to adjust the emissivity of the Lasergrip. Use the up and down buttons to set the emissivity level on the device.

Maintenance

General Maintenance

1. Use compressed air to remove any dust or particles on the Lasergrip lens.
2. Use a soft bristle brush to remove any debris from the lens, followed by a clean, wet cloth. Dry the lens with a soft, clean cloth immediately after.
3. Clean the included case with a damp sponge or cloth and mild detergent.

NOTE

• Do not use soap or detergent to clean the lens.
• Do not immerse the unit in water or liquid detergents.

Battery Replacement

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.

1. Open the battery compartment and remove the used battery. Properly dispose the used battery.
2. Connect a new DC 9V battery, ensuring that it is under the correct polarity.
3. Insert the battery into the compartment and close the lid. Make sure that the wiring is not pinched while closing the lid.
   

Specifications

Safety Information

This device produces CLASS 2 laser radiation. Use extreme caution at all times when laser is in use. Do not look into direct or reflected laser-light beam or view beam with optical instruments. Do not aim laser-light at another person or animal. Laser radiation may damage your eye. Do not disassemble the device.

Please read and comply with all of the instructions and warnings provided in this manual before using the product. Failure to comply with the instructions and warnings provided herein may result in inaccurate results and/or damage to the product itself.

• DO NOT point the laser-light at another person or animal.
• DO NOT attempt to point the laser-light at an aircraft.
• Avoid direct/indirect eye contact with the laser beam. Laser radiation may cause eye damage.
• DO NOT view the beam with optical instruments.
• When using the thermometer, make sure to warn people in the immediate area about the dangers of looking directly at the laser beam.
• DO NOT allow children to operate the device.
• Use a 9V battery when replacing the battery within the device. Make sure to insert the battery in accordance with the correct polarities.
• ALWAYS remove the battery when cleaning the device.
• DO NOT use leaking batteries or dispose used batteries in a fire.
• Remove the battery for storage if the device is not being used for a prolonged period of time.
• DO NOT disassemble the device or tamper with internal components. Doing so will void any warranty.
• DO NOT touch the lens or wipe it using anything other than a soft cloth or cotton swab.
• Keep the thermometer away from electromagnetic fields produced by objects such as arc welders and induction heaters.
• DO NOT expose the thermometer to direct sources of heat for extended periods of time.
• The thermometer measures surface temperature, not internal temperature. Do not use the Lasergrip as a reliable source to measure body temperatures.

The device certification information is labeled directly on the device. The sticker is located on the left side of the Lasergrip.

The device warning and aperture safety information are also labeled directly on the device; the sticker is located on the right side of the Lasergrip. Any updates to the product information (date of manufacturing and manufacturer address) will be added as adhesive overlays.
