Description
Description
The Linshang LS162 and LS162A window tint meters measure visible-light transmission with UV and infrared rejection for film, film-on-glass and suitable automotive side glass. Both accept samples less than 8 mm thick and use a 380–760 nm visible-light response aligned with the CIE photopic luminosity function.
Select LS162 or LS162A by infrared wavelength
Choose LS162 for a 940 nm infrared source or LS162A for a 1400 nm source. Both models use 365 nm UV and the same visible-light band. Select the model from the product options according to the infrared wavelength required for your comparison.
The wider opening supports direct checks on compatible side-window glass and laminated samples as well as loose film. Verify that the sample fits within the less-than-8 mm limit and reaches the measurement area without forcing it into the slot.

Measure on glass, then lock the display
Start the meter with the test opening empty and allow self-calibration to complete. Once VLT reads 100% and UVR/IRR read 0%, place the sample into the slot. The three values appear together on the LCD.
Press ON/Hold to retain the reading when the meter is positioned at an angle or when the sample needs to be removed for viewing. Release hold to resume measurement. Automatic shutdown occurs after three minutes without a button press.
Use consistent optical conditions
Record the model alongside results, since LS162 and LS162A use different infrared wavelengths. Keep the sample position and measuring conditions consistent across repeated checks. The ±2% accuracy specification applies to colorless, transparent materials; colored or optically coated samples can have lower accuracy.
