The Ultraviolet (UV) part of the solar spectrum has several beneficial effects for human biology, but too much can be very harmful. The UV region covers the wavelength ranges 100-280 nm (UVC), 280-315 nm (UVB) and 315-400 nm (UVA). Almost all UVC, and approximately 90 % of UVB from the sun is absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere. UV radiation helps to produce Vitamin D, but it can also burn the skin and cause cancers, melanoma and cataracts. UV radiation measured with a similar response to the human skin is termed Erythemally active UV irradiance (UVE) and is to calculate the Global Solar UV...

UVS Radiometers UVS instruments are fully weather protected and suitable for use in all environments. Adjustable feet and a bubble level are used to ensure that the radiometer is horizontal. A precision quartz dome and specially shaped diffuser provide class-leading directional response. The detection system includes optical ﬁlters and a phosphor that determine the spectral response. The phosphor is very sensitive to low levels of ultraviolet radiation and is stimulated by the UV to emit green light, which is detected by a photodiode. The system is temperature stabilised at +25 °C to...

Specifications for dual-band UVS-AB-T and UVS-AE-T are for each band the same as for the single-band UVS-A-T, -B-T and -E-T models UVS has a standard cable length of 10 m, optional cable length 25 m is the maximum because of voltage drop on the temperature stabilisation power supply wires CUV 5 has a standard cable length of 10 m, optional cable lengths 25 m and 50 m N/A means that the specification is not applicable Note: The performance specifications quoted are worst-case and/or maximum values KIPP & ZOIXIEIM SINCE 1 B 3 □ Go to www.kippzonen.com for your local distributor HEAD OFFICE...
