Radiometric sensors for UV irradiance

The Opsytec radiometric sensors measure UV irradiance and illuminance with the RMD and RM-12 radiometers and with the UV-MAT dose control. The standard range covers seven spectral ranges and four measuring ranges per sensor, so the measuring head can be matched to the application. The built-in diffusers provide the cosine correction required for non-perpendicular irradiation.

The sensors are calibrated with traceability to PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, the German national test authority); after being calibrated, they are supplied with a factory calibration certificate. Excellent long-term stability is achieved through the use of appropriate materials. Of course, a repair and spare parts service is available for many years.

The integrated electronics produce a signal voltage that is transmitted to the radiometer. Various sensors can be used with a radiometer by means of internal electronics.

The sensor on the RMD is identified by additional memory, which also contains the calibration and the date of manufacture. Several sensors can therefore be operated one after another on the same radiometer.

This allows the radiometric sensors to be optimally adapted for the application.
Sensors to evaluate the biological effects of irradiation are also available. If required / For additional requirements, in special cases, the sensors are splash-proof in accordance with IP65 and available with advanced measuring and spectral ranges.
