Description
Description
The Linshang LS160A film transmission meter measures visible-light transmission, ultraviolet rejection and infrared rejection with a 1400 nm infrared source. Its narrow slot accepts transparent film samples less than 0.8 mm thick for solar-film selection, demonstrations and repeat comparisons.
A 1400 nm infrared check for film comparison
Choose the LS160A when a 1400 nm infrared reading is the required comparison point, including evaluations of reflective and metallic film samples. The meter also uses a 365 nm UV source and a 530 nm visible-light channel, displaying the three results together.
Compare samples with the same instrument and measurement conditions. Film response varies with wavelength, so record the 1400 nm infrared channel alongside the result when sharing a comparison. Check sample thickness before inserting the material into the opening.
Read and retain the measurement
Power on with the test slot empty and allow self-calibration to finish. Insert the film once the empty-slot display reads 100% VLT and 0% UVR/IRR. The result appears on the backlit LCD, with all three values available for review.
The ON/Hold button retains a measurement after removing the film, which helps when the measuring position is awkward to read. Release hold before checking another sample. Four AAA alkaline batteries power the instrument, and it switches off automatically after three minutes without a button press.

Match the tester to the sample
The 0.8 mm opening is intended for thin film samples. Glass and film-on-glass checks require a meter with a suitable larger opening. Keep the slot unobstructed at startup and use a clean, consistently positioned sample.
The ±2% accuracy specification applies to colorless, transparent materials. Colored or optically coated samples can have lower accuracy. Use the selected channel and actual sample conditions when interpreting or comparing results.
