1 Application
The separate Tint Meter measures the transmittance for
use on all automotive windows, including insulation paper,
organic material, painting, coating material, film, glass, and
plastic sheet. This meter also has the ability to measure the
sun blocking capabilities of window curtains. The police
and inspection stations can use it to measure the total
visible light transmittance (VLT).

7 Operation
1. Close the transmitter and receiver, push down the upper
and lower switches on the right side to the ON position, then
the calibration will be performed automatically, and will
be displayed until the LCD displays 100%.
Caution
Please wipe and clean the glass
before testing for a correct
reading.

2. Place the window mount of the transmitter of the glass to be
measured and place the receiver on the other side of the
glass. The measured percentage will be displayed on the
LCD. (Figure 1.)
3. Push the switch to OFF and then redo steps 1 and 2 to
restart the measurement after auto-shutdown.
7.1
If the receiver and the transmitter are separated,
displays.
7.2 Continuous use:
If the receiver and transmitter are separated and then
realigned for the second measurement within 60 seconds,
the auto-shutdown time will be reset for the count. The
active status continues for the following measurement
providing that the restart timing is within 60 seconds.

7.3 Automatic shutdown and automatic lock reading
The transmitter will begin the auto-shut down process after
the last operation, taking 60 seconds to complete. Then, the
receiver locks the reading for 30 seconds, displays for
1 second, followed by the shutdown.
7.4 Calibtation
There are two high-transmission and low-transmission
standard transmittance sheets in the accessories, and the
standard VLT values are marked on each standard
transmittance sheet. It can be verified that the VLT value
measured by your meter is within +/- 2% error.
8 Maintenance or Repair
1. appearing on the LCD display indicates the battery
low. Please replace the battery immediately to ensure
the accuracy.
2. Please use a soft cloth, such as glasses cloth, to wipe
the meter for the dirt and not use chemical solvents.
3. Remember to turn off the power after usage; remove the
battery if not used for a long period of time (1 month) in
order to prevent battery leakage and causing damages
to internal components.
4. When the Forehead thermometer failure, only by the
authorized service provider or return the original repair.

9 Battery Replacement
Turn off the power.
Please open the battery cover on the back of the
meter and remove the battery.
Install the CR2032 batteries and ensure the correct
polarity.
Place back the battery cover and the bracket back.
