RS485 Ultraviolet (UV) Intensity Measure Sensor (290-390nm, UVA, UVB)

Introduction

The RS485 UV Sensor measures ultraviolet (UV) intensity and index values within the 290-390nm wavelength range. Equipped with a photoelectric detector and an industrial-grade microprocessor, it ensures reliable and stable performance. The sensor operates on a DC 5-30V power supply and communicates via the Modbus-RTU 485 protocol, making it compatible with Arduino and other microcontroller platforms using expansion boards like the TTL to RS485 module. With an IP67-rated aluminum shell, it is ideal for environmental monitoring, health protection, crop growth monitoring, photovoltaic systems, and laboratory research.

High Precision and Wide Measurement Range

The sensor accurately measures UV intensity (0-15mW/cm²) and UV index (0-15) with a resolution of 0.01mW/cm² and an accuracy of ±10%FS. Its ability to detect UV wavelengths from 290-390nm ensures precise monitoring across various applications, from environmental studies to health protection.

Industrial-Grade Durability

Housed in an IP67-rated aluminum shell, the sensor is resistant to dust, water, and harsh environments, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding outdoor and industrial conditions.

Easy Integration and Compatibility

Supporting the Modbus-RTU 485 protocol, the sensor integrates seamlessly with Arduino and other systems using compatible expansion boards. Its wide voltage range (DC 5-30V) and simple wiring make it user-friendly and adaptable to diverse setups.
