CRL AE1601 Low-E Coating Detector for Double-Pane Glass

CRL AE1601 Low-E Coating Detector for Double-Pane Glass

C.R. Laurence AE1601 Double-Pane Low-e Coating Detector is an essential tool for professionals ensuring the proper installation of energy-efficient windows. This innovative device detects the presence and location of invisible Low-e coatings on both single and double strength glass from a single side, making it invaluable for verifying thermal resistance. The AE1601 features enhanced reliability and wide temperature stability, outperforming its predecessor. With simple indicator lights, users can quickly assess whether coatings are present on near or far surfaces. It operates on a single 9V DC battery, included with the unit, and a low-battery indicator ensures you are never caught off guard when it’s time for a replacement. For optimal results when testing insulated glass (IG) units, the second pane of glass should be 1/8″ or less, with an air space of no more than 9/16″. If these specifications are exceeded, the detector will function as a single-pane Low-e detector, requiring testing on both sides for accurate results. Designed with ease of use in mind, the C.R. Laurence AE1601 is a must-have for glazing professionals committed to quality and precision in window installations.

Double-Pane Low-e Coating Detector

• Detects Invisible Low-e Coatings
• Ensures Windows are Installed Correctly
• Wide Temperature Stability
• Low-Battery Indicator

The CRL Low-e Glass Coating Detector senses the presence (or absence) and location of thermally resistant coatings (Low-e) used on single strength and double strength energy efficient glass from a single side. This helps to ensure windows are installed correctly.
This second generation tool offers enhanced reliability and temperature stability over its predecessor. Simple indicator lights check clear, near, or far surfaces. The unit requires one 9V DC Battery, which is included. The low-battery sensor causes the indicator lights to blink when the battery needs replacing.
When using the AE1601 meter on an IG unit, in order for the far indicator to work, the 2nd pane of glass must be 1/8″ or less, and the air space must be 9/16″ or less. If the glass or air space is larger than this, the FAR indicator is no longer valid and the AE1601 meter becomes a single pane Low E detector. At this point both sides of the unit will require testing for the NEAR indicator to light up. If in doubt about actual glass thickness, test both sides of the window to double check. If it does not light on either side, then it is a clear window. Lami units must test both sides of the window.
