The circuit of  UV sensor adopts the industrial-grade microprocessor chip imported from the United States and the imported high-precision ultraviolet sensor to ensure the excellent reliability and high precision of the product. The product shell has a wall-mounted high-protection shell, which effectively prevents rain and snow. For outdoor use. It is matched with a wind speed sensor, wind direction sensor, solar radiation sensor, rain gauge, solar radiation shield, light sensor, rain and snow sensor, soil sensor, etc. to form a complete weather station monitoring system

These UV sensors measure the power or intensity of incident ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV sensors are used for determining exposure to ultraviolet radiation in a laboratory or environmental setting. It can use photosensitive elements to convert ultraviolet signals into measurable electrical signals through photovoltaic mode and light guide mode.

Ultraviolet sensor features

1. Adopt the ultraviolet measuring device that is highly sensitive to 240-370 nm to accurately measure the ultraviolet intensity.
2. The see-through window uses high-quality light-transmitting materials, and the ultraviolet transmittance exceeds 98%, which avoids the problem of low ultraviolet measurement values due to the absorption of ultraviolet rays by traditional PMMA and PC materials.
3. Multiple signal output RS485, 0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA.
4. Wall-mounted waterproof shell with, high protection level, can be used in outdoor rain and snow environment for a long time.
5.10-30V DC wide voltage power supply.

UV sensor FAQs

What is ultraviolet light?

Ultraviolet light refers to the wavelength of 10nm-400nm in the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the naked eye. Ultraviolet rays are divided into three categories: UVA, UVB, and UVC according to the band:

1. UVA has strong penetrability of long-wave ultraviolet rays, with a wavelength of 315 nm-400 nm. It can destroy elastic fibers and collagen fibers and can make the skin tan.

2. UVB is a medium-wave ultraviolet that has an erythema effect and can promote mineral metabolism and the formation of vitamin D in the body. The wavelength is 280 nm-320 nm, but long-term exposure is not recommended because it will suntan the skin and cause erythema peeling.

3. UVC is a short-wave ultraviolet light that has a sterilizing effect. The wavelength is 200 nm-280 nm. The UVC band is very harmful to the human body. Short-term exposure can burn the skin. If it is exposed for a long time, it will cause skin cancer.

Where to use ultraviolet rays sensor?

Ultraviolet rays sensors can be used in many different applications. For example, it is used in environmental monitoring, weather monitoring, agriculture, forestry, and other environments. Measure ultraviolet rays in the atmosphere and under artificial light sources. In addition, UV sensors are also used in the chemical industry for the production, storage, and transportation of chemicals.

The UV sensor is available in different appearances according to different places of use. For details, you can consult our professional technicians to provide you with the best solution.
