ÎThe instrument uses high voltage, therefore the

device should NEVER be used near computers nor

other sensitive electronic devices.

ÎPersons with heart conditions or who use

pacemakers should not use this device.

ÎThe high voltage discharge should never be directed

at humans or at animals either directly or through

a conductive material such as wires or metal

structures.

ÎThe Sparkilike Handheld™should NEVER be used to

measure any ammable substances nor be used in

any ammable environment. Also make sure that the

insulating glass unit does not contain any ammable

substances. (Such as Isopropanol, Alcohol, Acentone,

Xylen, Thinner)

ÎThe device should never be used in wet or in humid

conditions.

ÎNever use the instrument while standing on

unsteady surfaces.

ÎThe device is a precision measuring instrument

and should be handled accordingly. Please, handle

the device with care.

ÎAlways turn off the power when instrument is not

in use.

ÎKeep ngers and other body parts clear of the

high voltage area when using the device. Do not

keep the device connected to your computer

nor other electronic devices while performing

measurements.

ÎDo not open the Sparklike Handheld casing.

In such case calibration is void and no safety

guarantee can be granted.

ÎDo not use any other battery charger than charger

provided by the manufacturer.

ÎDo not use any other power source for the

Sparklike Handheld than the battery provided with

the device.

2. HOW DOES IT WORK

A high voltage spark (1) is ignited inside the IG unit

(A). This high voltage spark causes the argon atom to

emit light to a spectrometer (2). A microprocessor (3)

interprets the information of the spectrometer and cal-

culates the argon concentration on the display (4).

3. HOW TO USE AND STARTING UP

5. FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN MEASURING

Factors affecting the optics:

ÎColoured glass

ÎTinted glass (minimal effect)

ÎStrong background light measurement (against

the sun or other source)

ÎDirt on the glass (minimal effect)

ÎDirt on the front optical bre

ÎMistreated front optical bre or electrode

Factors making it easier for the spark to

“jump“:

ÎHigh argon lls

ÎThin glass (6mm or less)

ÎThin air space (20mm or less)

ÎMetallic or other conductor on surface 3, such as

low-e coating

ÎMetallic spacer bar

Factors affecting the spark:

ÎThick glass (over 6 mm)

ÎPlastic lms on glass 1 (laminated glass,

coatings, etc.)

ÎMetallic lms on glass 1

ÎMetallic components in glass 1

ÎLow Argon ll (less than 90%)

ÎWide spacer (over 15mm)

ÎElectrode is not in contact with the glass surface

ÎSparklike Handheld is not evenly pressed against

the glass

ÎNon-metallic spacers

Correct conditions:

ÎStable dark background light

ÎThe device NOT moved during measurement

6. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

NOTE: The appearance of the Windows will

vary according to your computer.

Download the software from

sparklike.com/handheld Install wizard start up

Select language for the

installation

Select directory where

If your PC doesn't ask about

the driver, open the Device

Manager, and select 'Scan

for hardware changes'

Once you get the new

connection to the Device

Manager's list, right click

the connection, and select

'Update Driver Software'

Follow the installer

instructions

The software for Sparklike Handheld™can be

downloaded at sparklike.com/handheld

Please make sure that all needed software and drivers

are installed before attempting to connect Sparklike

Handheld™ with your computer.

9. USING THE SCREEN

1. When the ON/OFF button is switched ON,

Sparklike Handheld™ will perform a self test where

it checks itself for errors.

2. The screen will automatically change when all is

tested OK

3. The rst xed screen after start up is a device

information screen.

4. This screen will be important when

communicating with the manufacturer.

5. The information screen shows:

ÎRevision of the device

ÎLast calibration date

ÎCalibration status: “CALIBRATION

VALID”, “CALIBRATION SOON” or

“CALIBRATION EXPIRED”

ÎCurrent time

ÎBattery charge status

6. Device is now ready to use

7. When the button is pressed for the rst time after

start up, the measurement result will show.

8. The current time and battery charge status can be

seen on the screen.

9. It will also indicate that the measurement has not

been logged. (see: How to create a log le)

10. HOW TO CREATE A LOG FILE

1. From the main menu, scroll by turning the

encoder button, to the LOG ON/OFF menu.

2. Select this by pressing the encoder button once.

3. The next screen shows that the logging is to be

started.

4. The device will suggest the following free log

name (number) available. If the suggested number

is OK, simply press the encoder button to conrm.

5. By turning the encoder button the number of the

log le can be changed. One click will increase or

decrease the number with one.

6. When measuring a text is displayed showing that

the logging mode is on and it will also display the

log le number.

When the log mode is on and a measurement has been

taken but the operator feels that the measurement was

an error measurement, it is possible to erase this meas-

urement. This is done to prevent faulty log les on your

computer.

If the measurement is not satisfying:

1. From the main menu, scroll by turning the encoder

button, to the “CLEAR LOG”menu.

2. The log value will be deleted permanently.

Sparklike Handheld™log data can be downloaded to

your computer. In order to do this, Sparklike Handheld™

has to open its communication port to your computer

This is performed before enabling the connection from

the computer.

11. HOW TO ERASE THE LAST LOGGED FILE

12. HOW TO TURN OFF THE LOG MODE

1. From the main menu scroll, by turning the

encoder button, to the LOG ON/OFF menu.

2. Select this by pressing the encoder button once.

3. A screen will display that the log mode has been

turned off.

4. When measuring, a text is displayed that the

measurements have not been logged.

5. To create a new log le with a new name, repeat

procedure explained in chapter 10.

NOTE: When Sparklike Handheld™is connected to a

computer and the log les have been retrieved, the

log memory will be deleted from Sparklike Handheld™

device. This is the only way of emptying the memory

and should be done every now and then to prevent

the memory from overlling.

You can retrieve the device serial number and

calibration information through SETUP >> INFO.

13. ENABLING THE CONNECTION

WITH YOUR COMPUTER

14. INFORMATION DISPLAY

Sparklike Handheld™ log data can be downloaded to
