Designed for professionals across industries—from semiconductor fabrication to environmental monitoring—this portable device includes a UV sensor probe, 9V battery, and hard carrying case, ensuring reliable, on-the-spot UV intensity readings to protect health and optimize processes. ## Description This instrument is designed to measure ultraviolet light in the range from 220 to 275 nanometers (UVC). The illumination range of the meter allows users to conduct the most precise quantitative measurements of ultraviolet radiation: radiometry and laboratory requirements, UV-curing in off-set printing, lamp UV intensity & aging, industrial process monitoring, semiconductor fabrication, sunlight UV intensity to prevent skin damage, sterilization and environmental monitoring. Review: I had cataracts and got a lens called LAL+. These are adjustable after you get LAL lenses put in. The problem is that they make you wear UV400 certified glasses until you get the vision updates locked in. This meter is perfect for measuring your glasses and for measuring your environment. The UV frequency you have to avoid with the LAL lenses is between 200 and 400 NM. Specifically 165NM. This meter makes life easy. Great price. With this meter you can buy any UV400 certified pair of glasses and make sure they meet spec. Review: Some of UVA (and UVB) wavelengths are not covered. (Sensitive to some of UVA and some of UVB spectrum) Hopefully remaining coverage could be a reliable proxy. FIELD TESTS: I have tested sensor with regular transparent glass: value dropped by 35% or so. When testing various glasses with UV protection, value dropped 98%. Testing window light with some kind of film (came from the builder), value dropped 60-70%. Since negative control (regular non UVA-blocking glass) did not drop value of UV to 0, this device may be used reliably to aproximate UVA/UVB protection for glasses; measure UV levels indoors. ## Features - Backlit LCD with 4 digit dual display - Range in a unit mW/cm2 or uW/cm2 - Automatic measuring - Auto Record - Includes one 9-volt battery, UV sensor probe, instruction manual, hard carrying case ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002XZLTRS | | Batteries Required? | Yes | | Batteries included? | Yes | | Battery Cell Type | Alkaline | | Best Sellers Rank | 429,946 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 528 in Chippers, Shredders & Mulchers | | Certification | No | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (120) | | Date First Available | 7 Aug. 2012 | | Included Components | One UV probe, tripod screw, magnetic mount, hard foam-lined carrying case, and one 9 V battery | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 22.7 g | | Item model number | UV512C | | Manufacturer | General Tools | | Part Number | UV512C | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 7.32 x 27 x 26.67 cm; 22.68 g | | Size | 220-275nm | | Style | 220-275 nm | ## Images ![General Tools Digital UVC Meter, 220-275 nm (UV512C) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41+MLS2REhL.jpg) ![General Tools Digital UVC Meter, 220-275 nm (UV512C) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418mp+Arf6L.jpg) ![General Tools Digital UVC Meter, 220-275 nm (UV512C) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41HZ1C-YatL.jpg) ![General Tools Digital UVC Meter, 220-275 nm (UV512C) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dFmMWIVnL.jpg) ![General Tools Digital UVC Meter, 220-275 nm (UV512C) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ypy8ojG3L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does meter come with calibration certificate?** A: Usually, in a situation such as this, a company will have one device that has been calibrated at NIST, and they will compare all their other meters to this device. Hence, NIST traceable. I don’t know what level of accuracy they state, but I bet that even without a certificate, an accuracy of 3-5% range is achievable with a consistent manufacturing process. That is also why they can give you a response curve that works for this model. Whether this is good enough for your application is the determining factor to its acceptability. **Q: Mide la radiación UV puntual, o también la radiación acumulada en un período de tiempo?** A: SOAMENTE RADIACION PUNTUAL **Q: Is the probe waterproof? I need to measure fluence in a water sample that has light beaming on it.** A: Do not believe this is specifically waterproof beside you really need a spectrometer like an ocean optics with the curveette holder and a light source **Q: Do i need to use the black case/"wand" around the sensor? Or does the sensor work without it? It seems like it bends the cord a bit.** A: I used it with "wand" assembly. If there is no other mounting for sensor, it is a good idea to have that assembly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 8 July 2024* I had cataracts and got a lens called LAL+.
