General Description |
| The RD1350 is capable of identifying the presence and location of SELF-CLEAN coatings that are photocatalytic with hydrophilic properties. The meter uses state of the art technology coupled with microprocessor control to achieve an EASY-TO-USE hand held meter. The tool is powered by a 9 volt alkaline battery (included). Photocatalytic coatings should be placed on the exterior surface of a window. The photocatalytic coating uses the sun’s UV light to gradually break down, loosen and dissolve dirt and soil. The coating effectively vaporizes dirt that is on the surface of the glass. The hydrophilic properties of the coating prevent water from beading when it hits the surface of the glass. Therefore the water has a sheeting effect when it contacts the glass surface. The sheeting effect allows water to carry dirt away from the surface, and prevent the window from streaking or allowing water spots to occur. |
Operating The Meter |
|
|
The RD1350 uses an optical principle to detect the presence of the SELF-CLEAN coatings. To take a reading simply place the meter FLAT on the glass and push/hold the momentary power button. The meter will blink all three indicators quickly and then register the correct reading by showing one of three conditions: SELF CLEAN SURFACE: The meter is touching a Self-Clean coating |

Behind the Glass |
When testing loose pieces of glass, it is best to hold the glass upright in free air. Holding the glass in free air is the optimal testing condition. To avoid possible errors in measurement, do not place the glass on any surface. Placing the glass on tabletops or other surfaces that have a glossy, reflective, or bright color finish may affect the accuracy of the readings. If you must test the glass on a tabletop surface, make sure the surface is not glossy, reflective or brightly colored. To improve accuracies on tabletop measurements, place a dark colored fabric on the tabletop surface first, then place the glass on the fabric. It is also possible to take measurements of glass on top of other pieces of glass, as long the background glass is not reflective. This is helpful if you are measuring stacks/pallets of glass. |
Maintenance & Operating Tips |
1. CLEANING: It may be necessary to clean the RD1350 meter occasionally. Since the meter is an optical product, the sensing area on the back side of the enclosure may need cleaned to maintain the meters reliability. Use compressed air to blow debris and dirt from the lense area. If the dirt cannot be removed with compressed air, use a soft lint-free cloth to lightly remove the dirt. Only apply light pressure to the lense. The RD1350 meter has been specifically calibrated to detect the presence of the self clean coatings from Pilkington and PPG. If you would like to test other self-clean coatings, please contact one of our sales representatives to discuss your application." |
Important Notes |
| The RD1350 is the only thing that should be in contact with the glass while the reading is being taken. The operator may have their hand on the meter itself, but should not allow any part of their hand to overlap the meter and come into contact with the glass during testing. |
Battery Replacement |
| The RD1350 is powered by a 9 volt alkaline battery. When the battery voltage is getting too low to operate the meter, the low battery indicator will light. It is OK to complete the set of measurements you are conducting, however it is recommended that the battery be replaced immediately thereafter. To replace the battery, remove the battery cover near the bottom of the meter and replace with a new battery. Alkaline batteries are recommended to operate this meter. |
Warranty Information |
| The manufacturer warrants all models of the RD1350 to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service as specified within the operator's manual. The manufacturer shall repair or replace the unit within ninety (90) days from the original date of shipment after the unit is returned to the manufacturers factory, prepaid by the user, and the unit is disclosed to the manufacturers satisfaction, to be thus defective.
