This multi-range sensor will measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet (UV) A and B bands of the spectrum. This sensor uses a photodiode sensitive to UV in the range 215 nm to 365 nm with maximum spectral sensitivity at 300 nm.
A selection of products that may compliment the Ultraviolet Sensor.
Measurements can be recorded at three levels using either a slow or fast response range. The slow response ranges are the most commonly used and are suitable for most investigations.
The fast ranges are used to show mains frequency ultraviolet fluctuations (a source of interference for general work). The Ultraviolet (UV) radiation band in the electromagnetic spectrum extends from very short wavelengths of 100 nm up to 400 nm, which is just above violet light in the visible region of the spectrum.
The wavelength of UV-B band, the primary danger to humans is between 280 to 315 nm. The UV-A, the least harmful band is between 315 to 400 nm.
