UVA and UVC light measurement in one meter 

 

Long wave 365 nm ultra-violet irradiance measurements (UVA) 

 

Professional UVA meter, used to measure the UVA Radiation from UVA light (black light) 

 

Short wave 254 nm ultra-violet irradiance measurements (UVC) 

 

Professional UVC light meter, measures UVC irradiation from UVC light source 

 

Two ranges: 2000 µW/cm² and 20 mW/cm² 

 

Meter includes two probes: UVA probe and UVC probe 

 

UV Sensor with cosine correction filter 

 

UV Zero feature 

 

Applications include: Monitoring blue light radiation from welding equipment, UV 

sterilization, graphic arts, photochemical matching, UV EPROM erasure, Photo-resist 

exposure, ink curing, adhesives and coatings 

 

Microprocessor circuit provides high reliability and durability 

 

Separate UV light probe allows the user to measure UV light with optimum positioning
