AE1601 Etekt+ Low-E Detector
The AE1601 ETEKT+ Low-E Detector is a rugged, hand-held device for detecting the presence and location of Low-E coatings, on single and double pane glass, with a definitive, non-destructive test. The AE1601 is the second generation ETEKT+ device and is accurate, easy-to-use and features improved reliability and temperature stability.
The AE1601 ensures proper orientation of the Low-E coating during IG fabrication to avoid damage from the washing machine brushes, proves to the customer that the coating is present prior to installation and confirms that the Low-E coating is properly installed into a double pane IG unit with a single test from a single side. The device is simply placed flat on the glass surface, the button is pressed and the results are shown. Triple pane windows can be checked by testing both sides. For full triple pane Low-E detection, see the Glass-Chek PRO.
