Product Description
UV radiation measurement in outdoor environments (sensor is not recommended for longterm continuous outdoor deployment), laboratory use with artificial light sources (e.g., germicidal lamps), and monitoring the filtering ability and stability of various materials.
Fast and Accurate Ultraviolet MeasurementThe APOGEE ULTRA VIOLET SENSOR (MU-100-200) delivers ultraviolet radiation data with exceptional speed and accuracy. Featuring a cutting-edge photodiode, it achieves response times under 1 ms and maintains a calibration uncertainty of 10%. These features make it ideal for applications demanding real-time UV monitoring in scientific research, environmental assessment, or industrial process control.
Designed for Durability and VersatilityHoused in anodized aluminum with an acrylic diffuser and certified to IP68 standards, the MU-100-200 ensures reliable operation in intensive field conditions. Its broad operating environment ranges from -40C to 70C and supports 0-100% non-condensing humidity. This robust design guarantees performance whether installed outdoors or in demanding industrial settings.
FAQ's of APOGEE ULTRA VIOLET SENSOR (MU-100-200):
Q: How is the APOGEE ULTRA VIOLET SENSOR (MU-100-200) installed?
A: The sensor is easily mounted using the integrated M8 bolt, allowing secure attachment to a variety of structures. Its compact dimensions (24 mm diameter, 37 mm height) make it convenient for different setups.
Q: What environments can the MU-100-200 operate in?
A: The MU-100-200 is built for harsh and variable conditions, functioning reliably from -40C to 70C and in 0 to 100% non-condensing humidity. Its IP68 rating means it is both dust tight and waterproof.
Q: When should I consider using a photodiode-based UV sensor like this model?
A: This sensor is recommended when you require fast and accurate measurements of UV radiation in the 300-400 nm range, such as for environmental monitoring, UV curing processes, or research applications requiring real-time data.
Q: Where can the APOGEE ULTRA VIOLET SENSOR be deployed?
A: Thanks to its durability and waterproof housing, this sensor can be used outdoors, in greenhouses, industrial plants, or any location exposed to the elements or requiring robust UV measurement capabilities.
Q: What benefits does the <1 ms response time offer?
A: A response time of less than 1 millisecond allows the sensor to capture rapid fluctuations in UV radiation, supporting real-time monitoring and applications where immediate feedback is essential.
Q: How is power supplied to the sensor, and what is the output format?
A: The MU-100-200 operates with a 5 V DC input and delivers an analog output ranging from 0 to 2.5 V, making integration with data loggers or monitoring systems straightforward.
