Features

Simple Operation, Fast Results

The transmission meter is easy to use and provides quick readings. Once the material is placed in the test slot, the results for all three light sources appear instantly on the screen.

Parallel Light Path – Suitable for Side Windows

With a 6mm wide test slot and parallel light path design, the 86163 meter can accurately measure the optical properties of car side windows.

Rotatable Display for Better Visibility

The user-friendly screen rotates in four directions, making it easy to read data at various testing angles.

Real-Time Automatic Calibration

The device features dynamic self-calibration upon startup, ensuring accurate measurements every time.

Three Display Modes

Users can switch between three modes: rejection rate, transmittance, or light transmission percentage.

Data Hold Function

Press the "Hold" button to lock measurement data on the screen. This allows you to keep results displayed even after removing the sample.

FAQ

  1. 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.

  2. 2. What are the advantages of 86163/86163A over previous window film transmission meters?

    The screen can rotate in four directions; 

    Three display interfaces can be switched: 

    1) UV rejection, IR rejection, VL transmittance

    2) UV transmission, IR transmission, VL transmittance

    3) VL transmittance
