86163A Transmission Meter
Three light sources: Visible light, UV, and Infrared
Multiple display options: VLT/UVR/IRR, VLT/UVT/IRT, and VLT
Rotatable screen: For easy data viewing
Compatible with: Metallic and ceramic window films
The 86163A Window Film Transmission Meter is designed to measure the optical properties of transparent and uniform materials such as solar control films, coated glass, insulated glass, and car side windows. Users can choose different measurement interfaces to view values for infrared and ultraviolet rejection, as well as light transmittance.
This device is ideal for use by solar film and glass manufacturers, automotive 4S shops, car detailing centers, and similar industries. In addition to solar and insulation films, it can also be used to test various types of coated glass, car side windows, and polycarbonate (PC) materials.

Features
Simple Operation, Fast Results
The meter features one-button operation. Insert the material into the test slot, and the device instantly displays all three measurements on-screen.
Parallel Light Path for Accurate Readings on Thick Materials
The 86163A uses a parallel light path design and includes a 6mm-wide test slot, making it suitable for thicker samples like automotive side windows.
Rotating Display for Convenient Viewing
The display screen rotates in four directions to adapt to various testing angles, providing clear data visibility from any position.
Real-Time Automatic Calibration
The device features automatic self-calibration each time it's powered on, ensuring consistent accuracy during use.
Three Display Modes
Users can choose from three display interfaces: UV & IR rejection rates, light transmission rate, or overall light transmittance.
Data Hold Function
After taking a measurement, press the "Hold" button to lock the results on the screen—even after removing the sample.
Compact and Portable Design
Small and lightweight, the transmission meter includes an anti-slip surface, making it easy to hold or carry.
LCD dot matrix screen with backlight for clear readings even in low-light environments

FAQ
-
1. The difference between 86163 (940nm) and 86163A (1400nm) window film transmission meters
The main difference between 86163 and 86163A is that the peak wavelength of the built-in infrared light source is different, 86163: 940nm, 86163A: 1400nm. These two wavelengths are more representative, most of the absorption film has a better rejection effect at 940nm. The metallic film (insulation by reflecting heat) has a better rejection effect at 1400nm. Please choose the appropriate model according to your own film.
