SINGLE PANE/FIRST PANE DETECTION
1. Place the meter on the glass. You will
see two columns of light reflections (one
column for each surface of the glass).
2. Slide the meter over a large portion of the
glass surface, and pay close attention to
the colors of the two columns of light.
3. THE GLASS IS STRENGTHENED IF:
• The reflections in column 2 CHANGE
to a different color than column one.
This means that the meter is detect-
ing a stress line in the glass (strength-
ened). See Figure 2.
WARNING! Remember that you are looking
for a CHANGE in color of column 2, with re-
spect to column 1. It is possible that column
2 will start out as different color than column
1. This is NOT signifying strengthened glass.
You must see an actual change of color
(stress line) in column 2 to confirm it is
strengthened. For soft coat (sputtered) Low-
E coatings and other specialty coatings, the
reflection from the surface of glass contain-
ing the Low-E coating may appear as a differ-
ent color (typically green) than the uncoated
surface. Remember you are watching for
column 2 to change colors with respect to col-
umn 1 as you slide across the glass. If column
2 maintains the same color throughout the
travel across the glass, it is NOT strength-
ened.
DIFFERENCE between columns 1 and 2 indicates stress lines
2 1
Strengthened Glass
Both of the examples inside of this box show differences
between columns 2 as compared to column 1. In both in-
stances, this means the meter has detected stress lines
indicating that the glass is strengthened.
For best results in looking for color change in the left column (2), inspect a large portion of
the glass, and rotate the meter in place over suspected stress lines.
NO DIFFERENCE between columns 1 and 2 indicates no stress lines
2 1
In both of these examples, there is no difference between
columns 1 and 2. This means that the meter is not detect-
ing any stress lines which indicates that the sample is
regular, non-strengthened glass.
Take special notice of the example to the right. The colors near the top of both columns have
changed color, BUT since both columns changed together, this still means there is no indi-
cation of strengthened glass.
The Strengthened Glass De-
tector identifies if a piece of
glass, or a dual pane window
has been strengthened.
The SG2700 allows the user
to easily view the stress lines
that occur in glass that has
been strengthened. Therefore,
you can determine if the glass
has been strengthened. It also
will estimate the thickness of
the first pane of glass.
4. THE GLASS IS NOT STRENGTHENED
IF:
• Neither column changes color
• Both columns change color together
5. It can be very helpful to rotate the meter
in place over a suspected stress line. This
often makes it easier to confirm whether
or not you are detecting a stress line.

surface of the
glass.
Monitor the colors in column 2. If the colors
change to a color different than column 1 as
you travel across the glass, this represents
stress lines, indicating that your glass is
strengthened.
Note that the color change of column 2 com-
pared to column 1 in this example indicates
the glass is strengthened.

FEATURES:
• Single or double pane testing accomplished
from a single side

windows in the production environment
• Test single or double pane windows that are
already installed in the field
• Wide viewing area illuminated by multiple
light sources
• Pane 1 glass thickness measurement
• Head-on viewing of reflections for easy
measurement
• Special viewing optics to accentuate the
color changes
• Identify the location of stress lines in the
glass
• Automatic power-off feature to prolong the
life of the battery
• Low power usage allows for standard 9-volt
alkaline battery operation
• Low battery indicator
• Simple operation
SECOND PANE DETECTION
1. Place the meter on the glass. You will see
4 columns of light reflections (one column
for each surface of the glass).
2. Slide the meter over a large portion of the
glass surface, and pay close attention to
the colors of the two columns of light far-
thest to the left (columns 3 and 4).
3. THE GLASS IS STRENGTHENED IF:
• The reflections in column 4 CHANGE to
a different color than column 3 as you
slide the meter across the glass. This
means that the meter is detecting a
stress line created during the strength-
ening process
4. THE GLASS IS NOT STRENGTHENED
IF:
• Neither column (3 or 4) changes color
• Both columns (3 & 4) change color to-

DIFFERENCE
4 3 2 1
Both of the examples inside this box show differences between columns 3 and 4. In both
instances, this means that the meter has detected stress lines indicating that the second
2 1
pane of glass is strengthened.
NO DIFFERENCE
In this example, there is no difference between columns 3 and 4. This
means that the meter is not detecting any stress lines in pane 2, which
indicates that the sample is regular, non-strengthened glass.

BASIC OPERATION
Place the SG2700 flat against the glass to
be tested. When possible, place the meter
on the side of the glass that will allow for the
darkest background behind the glass. Turn
the meter on, and look through the special-
ized viewing port to view reflections off the
glass surface. Single panes of glass will re-
sult in two columns of reflections (one from
each glass surface) while double pane win-
dows will result in four columns of reflections.
For best viewing results, look at the reflec-
tions in the viewing port head-on, not at
an angle. You will use these reflections to
determine if the glass has been strength-
ened.

(second from
left) represents
the closest
surface of
the second
pane of glass.
Column 4
(farthest to the
left) represents
the opposite
surface of the
second pane of
glass.
For second pane detection, monitor the col-
ors in column 4. If the colors change to a
different color than column 3 as you slide
across the glass, this represents stress lines
indicating that your second pane of glass is
strengthened.
Note that the color change of column 4 with
respect to column 3 in this example indicates
that the second pane of glass is strengthened.

Strengthened Glass in pane 2
Both of the examples inside this box show differences
between columns 3 and 4. In both instances, this means
that the meter has detected stress lines indicating that
the second pane of glass is strengthened.
between columns 3 and 4 indicates no stress lines
