WARNING
▶ The instrument uses high voltage, therefore
the device should NEVER be used near
computers nor other sensitive electronic
devices.
▶ Persons with heart conditions or who use
pacemakers should not use this device.
▶ The 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.
▶ The Sparkilike Handheld™ should NEVER be
used to measure any flammable substances
nor be used in any flammable environment.
Also make sure that the insulating glass unit
does not contain any flammable substances.
(Such as Isopropanol, Alcohol, Acentone, Xylen,
Thinner)
▶ The device should never be used in wet or in
humid conditions.
▶ Never use the instrument while standing on
unsteady surfaces.
▶ The device is a precision measuring
instrument and should be handled
accordingly. Please, handle the device with
care.
▶ Always turn off the power when instrument is
not in use.
▶ Keep fingers 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.
▶ Do not open the Sparklike Handheld casing.
In such case calibration is void and no safety
guarantee can be granted.
▶ Do not use any other battery charger than
charger provided by the manufacturer.
▶ Do 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
calculates the argon concentration
on the display (4).

5. FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN MEASURING
Factors affecting the optics:
▶ Coloured glass
▶ Tinted glass (minimal effect)
▶ Strong background light measurement
(against the sun or other source)
▶ Dirt on the glass (minimal effect)
▶ Dirt on the front optical fibre
▶ Mistreated front optical fibre or electrode
Factors making it easier for the spark to
“jump“:
▶ High argon fills
▶ Thin glass (6mm or less)
▶ Thin air space (20mm or less)
▶ Metallic or other conductor on surface 3, such
as low-e coating
▶ Metallic spacer bar
Factors affecting the spark:
▶ Thick glass (over 6 mm)
▶ Plastic films on glass 1 (laminated glass,
coatings, etc.)
▶ Metallic films on glass 1
▶ Metallic components in glass 1
▶ Low Argon fill (less than 90%)
▶ Wide spacer (over 15mm)
▶ Electrode is not in contact with the glass
surface
▶ Sparklike Handheld is not evenly pressed
against the glass
▶ Non-metallic spacers
Correct conditions:
▶ Stable dark background light
▶ The device NOT moved during measurement

9. USING THE SCREEN
10. HOW TO CREATE A LOG FILE
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 first fixed 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:
▶ Revision of the device
▶ Last calibration date
▶ Calibration status: “CALIBRATION VALID”,
“CALIBRATION SOON” or “CALIBRATION
EXPIRED”
▶ Current time
▶ Battery charge status
6. Device is now ready to use
7. When the button is pressed for the first 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 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 confirm.
5. By turning the encoder button the number
of the log file 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 file number.

11. HOW TO ERASE THE LAST LOGGED FILE
Whenthelogmodeisonandameasurementhasbeen
taken but the operator feels that the measurement
was an error measurement, it is possible to erase this
measurement. This is done to prevent faulty log files
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.
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 file with a new name, repeat
procedure explained in chapter 10.
NOTE: When Sparklike Handheld™ is connected
to a computer and the log files 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
overfilling.
