CALIBRATION STANDARDS (PART# TC3811)
Two light transmission test standards accompany each meter. The
standards have VLT values of approximately 27% and 59%. The actual
calibrated value of each standard is indicated on each sample. The
standards were created using a NIST traceable source. Use the standards
to verify that your meter measures the VLT values /- 2% of their
indicated values. You should regularly verify that your meter is operating
within specifications. Before using the standards, ensure they are clean
and not scratched. Blow off any dust that may appear on the surface, and
remove any finger prints with a micro-fiber cloth. If the meter measures
outside the +/-2% range, please inspect the cleanliness of the reflector area
of the REFLECTOR unit, and use compressed air to blow off the back side
of the INSTRUMENT unit as well. If problems still exist, contact the
manufacturer for a possible solution.
When testing with the calibration
s t a n d a r d s , c o n d u c t y o u r
measurement in the same
manner as testing an actual
window. When not in use, store
the calibration standards in the
re-sealable bag they were
packaged in, and keep them
inside the carrying case for best
protection. If the calibration
standards become scratched or
damaged, replacement sets can be ordered from the manufacturer. The
part number for the replacement standard set is TC3811.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
This instrument is powered by a single 9-volt alkaline battery (included).
When the battery voltage is getting low, the battery indicator will illuminate.
The instrument is still operable at this point, however it is recommended
that the battery be replaced soon. Alkaline batteries are recommended for
this product.
The TINT-CHEK PRO Window Tint Meter tests the Light Transmission %
(VLT) of automotive windows, as well as flat glass applications. The two-
piece design allows for testing of the windshield, as well as rear and side
windows. The two piece instrument consists of a REFLECTOR unit and an
INSTRUMENT unit that self-calibrates at start-up. The INSTRUMENT unit
contains all of the electronics and is battery powered. The REFLECTOR
unit does not contain any electronics and simply houses the reflector and
magnets to help in aligning the two enclosures together for measurements.
