86162A Transmission Meter

Measure side windshied, window tint and window film

Measure visible light transmittance of 380nm-760nm
Measure UV rejection rate at 365nm and IR rejection rate at 1400nm

User Manual

86162A is our portable and classic solar film tester. The sophisticated meter measures not only visible light transmittance but also UV rejection rate and IR rejection rate. When placing glass or film on the test slot, the screen will show the measurement data at once. It is mainly suitable for optical properties of various uniform and transparent materials such as solar film, laminated glass and automobile side glass.

Feature

Convenient to use, Fast measurement

86162A window film transmission meter has simple operation and the measurement is fast. Just put the measured object into the test slot, then the visible light transmittance, ultraviolet and infrared rejection rate will be immediately displayed on the screen

Lightweight and handy

The instrument has a small size proper to outdoor measurement. The test slot is 8mm wide, which can directly test the car windshield

Lock data for relaxing reading

Due to the testing location or material properties, users may encounter that the instrument is placed at an angle difficult to read. 86162A developed the function of locking data to solve this problem by pressing HOLD button. Even if the meter moves, the data remains unchanged

FAQ

  1. 1. The difference between 86162 (940nm) and 86162A (1400nm) window film transmission meters

    The main difference between 86162 and 86162A is that the IR bands are different. The infrared peak wavelength of 86162 is 940nm and the  86162A is 1400nm. These two bands are more representative bands. The absorbing film has a better infrared rejection effect at 940nm.The metallic film (Insulation by reflection) has a better infrared rejection effect at 1400nm. Please choose the appropriate instrument according to your own film.

  2. 2. The difference between 86162A and 86163A window film transmission meters

    86162A measuring notch width is 8mm, 86163A measuring notch width is 6mm;

    86162A use point light source, while 86163A use parallel light path. The latter has higher data accuracy for measuring thick materials.
