\"Solarmeter<\/p>\n

Sensor:
\n<\/strong>Photodiode made of silicon carbide (SiC), packaged in a hermetically sealed UV glass window cap. Interference filter blocks most of the UVA radiation, as shown in the spectral responsivity diagram.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Operating the meter:<\/strong>
\nTo operate your Solarmeter\u00ae , point the sensor window on the top of the meter directly at a UV source. Press and hold the pressure switch on the front of the device. For optimal results, note the distance of the measurement from the UV source to ensure repeatable results.<\/p>\n

The battery operating voltage is adjustable from 9 V down to 6.5 V. Below 6.5 V, the numbers on the LCD display begin to fade, indicating the need for a battery replacement. With typical usage, a standard 9V battery lasts about 2 years.<\/p>\n

Correct use of the Solarmeter\u00ae:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Wear eye protection when checking the UV lamps (goggles that offer all-round protection are ideal)<\/li>\n
  • Allow the lamps to warm up before taking measurements (at least 15 minutes).<\/li>\n
  • When checking lamp ageing, make sure you use the same location and distance to ensure accurate readings<\/li>\n
  • The lamps should be replaced when the output drops to around 50% of the original (new) measured values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Care and maintenance:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Do not expose the measuring device to extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks or dust.<\/li>\n
    • If the device is accidentally exposed to excessive humidity or wet conditions, unusually high readings may occur.<\/li>\n
    • If you allow the device to dry naturally or place it in a bag with silica gel, normal function will be restored.<\/li>\n
    • Use a very soft cloth to clean the meter.<\/li>\n
    • Keep the sensor free from oil, dirt, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
