ULTRAVIOLET SENSOR

The UV Light Sensor monitors the intensity of ambient ultraviolet light in the 200-370 nanometer range, which is part of the solar ultraviolet UVA, UVB, and UVC light spectra. The sensor has an amplifier with selectable levels. Outdoors, the UV Light Sensor may be utilised for datalogging and closed-loop control, such as initiating irrigation or greenhouse vents.

The single analogue output may be linked directly to the Propeller Activity Board's converter or simply interfaced with Multicore Microcontroller

UV INTENSITY MONITOR

The Intensity monitor has an LED display with easy-to-use menu options. The monitor displays details about the intensity, temperature and lamp hours. The monitor allows you to set alarms that will give you a notification when the intensity or temperature levels go beyond the ideal range.

UV-C lamps have a useful life of 9,000 hours after which they should be replaced. However, keeping track of how long a UV-C lamp has been operating can be difficult for building managers. The UV-C Lamp Hour Meter is the first low-cost option.

It has an LCD panel that shows how long the UV-C lamps have been running since they were installed or changed. The UV-C Lamp Hour Meter has a dynamic memory if power is lost.
