Force and mechanical measuring equipment
A tint meter is commonly used to calculate the VLT value after car windows are tinted. The minimum VLT for both front and passenger windows that is legal and safe in Australia is 30-35% (depending on the state). Tint meters are used by police to ensure that tinted windows meet legal standards. Tint meters are also used by car workshops to ensure that custom tinted windows meet legal standards. VLT testing is important to ensure that the driver's vision of other cars, cyclists, objects and pedestrians is not reduced or obscured. Tint meters are used to test the transparency of car windows. After measuring the outside and inside light, the tint meter will show the car glass transparency level -VLT (visible light transmission) in percent. Laser-Lab's window tint meter model Enforcer II - TM1000 works on roll-down windows, just slide down through the window and wait for the reading, it takes about 1 second to calculate, then lift off the window and automatically turns off. It's so simple, you can use it with one hand.

How do car window/glass tint meters work and where are they used?
Tint meter work by shining a beam of light at 550nm from the instrument sensor through the window to the optical sensor. As the beam is intercepted by the window, the meter will measure the amount of light that passes through and gives a reading in VLT. There are two types of tint meters available, horseshoe tint meters and tint meters with magnetic probes.
Horseshoe shape tint meters easily slide over the side windows to give a quick and easy reading. To measure VLT using a horseshoe shape tint meter, ensure the window is clean of any dirt as this will affect the readings. Turn the meter on and wait until it reaches 100% reading. Place the unit onto the window through the slot and within a couple of seconds, there will be a VLT reading to give you how much visible light passes through.
Tint meters with magnetic probes can measure VLT through the side, front and rear windows. It gives the user complete access to the entire window that needs to be measured. To measure VLT using magnetic probes, ensure the window is clean of any dirt. Turn the meter on and wait until it reaches 100% reading. Place the reflector probe one side of the window and place the instrument probe on the other side of the window with the magnets lining up. Once the probes are aligned, the meter will be able to then display a reading within a couple of seconds.
Tint meters are generally used to calculate the VLT value after a car window has been tinted. The minimum VLT for both front and passenger windows that is legal and safe in Australia is 30-35% (depending on each state). Tint meters are used by the police to ensure tinted windows are of a legal standard. Tint meters are also used by automotive workshops to ensure custom tinted windows are of legal standard. Testing VLT is important to ensure the driver's visibility of other cars, cyclists, objects, and pedestrians aren't reduced and obscured.
The Enforcer II-TM1000 tint meter works on roll down windows.
Just slide it down over the window and wait for the reading, which takes about one second to calculate.
Then lift it back off the window, and it shuts itself off automatically. It's so simple, you can use it with one hand.
Easy, one handed use. No controls, switches or buttons
• Smaller, lighter devices
• Same large display
• Longer lasting battery
• Smaller carrying case with reference samples included
