Description

The Linshang LS182 solar film transmission meter compares optical transmission and rejection with seven displayed parameters, including SHGC and TSER. Its color LCD, parallel light path and 47 mm-wide opening support film, laminated glass and other compatible transparent samples.

Select 940 nm, 1400 nm or Full IR

A side selector chooses the infrared mode. The 940 nm and 1400 nm positions provide channel-specific rejection readings. Full IR combines those two infrared channels and enables the instrument’s Full IR, SHGC and TSER indicators for the sample.

The meter also measures 365 nm UV rejection and 380–760 nm visible transmission with CIE photopic weighting. Record the selected IR mode alongside results, especially when comparing absorbing, reflective or metallic films. Use consistent sample placement and test settings throughout the series.

Prepare the desktop measurement

Connect the 5 V supply, keep the opening empty and switch on. Wait for self-calibration, with UV/IR rejection at 0% and visible transmission at 100%. Place the sample close to the left side of the slot and check the selected infrared mode before recording data.

The support rod tilts the instrument for viewing, and the color display presents optical results in numerical and graphical layouts. The opening accommodates transparent samples that fit within its 47 mm width.

Interpret the displayed indicators consistently

Use the same instrument and mode for comparative film checks. Full IR is derived from the 940 nm and 1400 nm channels. The ±2% accuracy specification applies to colorless, uniformly transparent material; the SHGC and TSER outputs should be recorded with the instrument and sample conditions used.
