SKU 440 UVI Sensor
UVI Index sensor has a response closely matching the Erythema Action Spectrum, the damaging portion of the solar radiation spectrum associated with sunburn and skin cancer.
The UV Index sensor gives a voltage output which can be easily scaled to UVI values with an appropriate meter e.g. Apollo Display Meter (SKA 400) i.e. ranging from 0, low risk of sunburn to 11+, dangerous levels of UV).
The sensor is calibrated against a reference traceable to National Standards under full sunlight conditions, and so is ideal for long term datalogging on meteorological stations.
