UVA Spectral Response
The UVA SU-200 series sensors have a spectral range of 300 to 400 nm. The spectral response can be seen in the graph below.
UVI Spectral Response
The UVI SU-300 series sensors have a spectral range of 270 to 315 nm, following the erythemal action line. The spectral response can be seen in the graph below.
Rugged, Self-cleaning Housing
The patented domed shaped sensor head facilitates runoff of dew and rain, helping to keep the detector clean and minimizing errors caused by dust blocking the radiation path. Sensors are housed in a rugged anodized aluminum body and electronics are fully-potted.
Typical Applications
Applications include: UV radiation measurement in outdoor environments, public sun exposure guidance, laboratory use with artificial light sources (e.g., germicidal lamps), and monitoring the filtering ability and stability of various materials.
Measurement Units
Calibration factors for photon flux density units [µmol m-2 s-1] and energy flux density [W m-2] are provided with each sensor allowing for rapid unit conversions.
Useful Ranges
The UVA sensor is sensitive from 300 to 400 nm, working to identify UVA in solar radiation and spanning the UV output range of electric lamps. From 270 to 315 nm, UV Index sensors accurately measure the UV from solar radiation that causes damage to human skin.
Output Options
Apogee offers multiple analog output options, USB output, and SDI-12.
High Quality Cable
Pigtail-lead sensors feature an IP68, marine-grade stainless-steel cable connector approximately 30 cm from the head to simplify sensor removal for maintenance and recalibration. Cable is shielded-twisted pair wire with a TPR jacket for high water resistance, UV stability, and flexibility in cold conditions.
Warranty and Support
All Apogee products are backed by an industry-leading four year warranty and outstanding customer support.
