Product Overview
MicroCure UV Radiometer
•
Small (1.3” x 0.95” x 0.25” /33 x 24.13 x 6.35 mm) microprocessor based,
electro-optical instrument that measures the total energy density
(Joules/cm
2
) and peak irradiance (Watts/cm
2
)
•
Lightweight (0.33 ounces/9.4 grams), battery powered radiometer with a fast
sample rate (2048 Hz), adapts to a variety of demanding physical and
thermal measurement environments where a larger radiometer will not fit
•
Each MicroCure is good for 200 readings or one year; whichever comes first
•
Available Bands
o
UVA (320-390 nm)
o
UVV (390-445 nm)
NOTE:
The responsivity of the EIT MicroCure UVA and UVV bands are similar but are not identical to the UVA
and UVV bands used in other EIT instruments.
•
Available Dynamic Ranges:
o
UVA: 10 Watt, 2 Watt or 200 milliWatt ranges
o
UVV: 10 Watt or 2 Watt ranges
•
Suggested Operating Ranges:

2
to 10 W/cm
2
o
2 Watt (UVA or UVV):
100 mW/cm
2
to 2 W/cm
2
o
200 milliWatt (UVA):
10 mW/cm
2
to 200 mW/cm

•
Once activated, the MicroCure should be exposed to UV irradiance in the Suggested Operating Range within
four minutes.
•
If the MicroCure is not exposed to UV above the start threshold (point at which the MicroCure starts counting
UV) within four minutes, it will enter ‘sleep’ mode and not count the current ‘wake-up’ session as a ‘reading’
o
See Appendix A for the approximate start threshold values needed to start the radiometer
o
For best performance, the MicroCure should be used in the Suggested Operating Range
•
The MicroCure utilizes the two halves of the metal case to transfer data. Do not “short circuit” the two case halves
on metal. This includes having the cases halves touch metal and/or handling them with conductive coatings
and/or moisture on your hands. See the section on Handling and Safety Precautions for further details.
MicroCure DataReader
•
The DataReader is a portable device used to communicate download and display UV data collected by the
MicroCure radiometer.
•
The “SELECT” button toggles the display between Energy Density and Irradiance values.
•
The display shows the UV band of the MicroCure radiometer.
•
The “RESET” button is used to “activate” a MicroCure unit and place it into “active data collection” mode.
•
When activated, the DataReader display indicates the number of resets (r) and the count of subsequent reading
above threshold that an individual MicroCure unit has undergone.
•
Example: Reset value of ‘r 118’ is shown below. On the next reset, a reset value of ‘r 119’ is shown
