Ultraviolet Sensors and Ultraviolet Meters measure the total ultraviolet radiation between 250 and 400 nanometers, in μmol m^-2 s^-1.

Measuring Ultraviolet Radiation

The total photon flux of UV radiation from sunlight is close to 8.5 percent of the PPF in full sunlight. The photosynthetic photon flux at noon in full sunlight is about 2000 μmol m^-2 s^-1, thus the photon flux of UV radiation is about 170 μmol m^-2 s^-1.

The SU ultraviolet sensor comes with a standard length of 5 meters of cable. The sensor is weather resistant. The ultraviolet meter comes in two versions, the MU-100 with a built-in sensor and the MU-200 with a remote sensor attached to the meter with 2 meters of cable.
