## Description

An industrial-grade RS485 UV sensor that measures ultraviolet intensity (0–15 mW/cm²) and UV index (0–15) across the 290–390 nm wavelength range, covering both UVA and UVB bands. It communicates via the Modbus-RTU protocol over RS485, making it easy to integrate with Arduino and other microcontrollers using a TTL-to-RS485 adapter. Housed in an IP67-rated metal aluminium shell, the sensor is built for long-term outdoor and industrial use. It operates on a wide DC 5–30V power supply and delivers readings with 0.01 mW/cm² resolution and a fast 0.2-second response time. Key Features 290–390 nm Wavelength Range – Covers UVA and UVB bands UV Intensity and Index – Measures 0–15 mW/cm² intensity and 0–15 UV index RS485 Modbus-RTU – Standard industrial communication protocol IP67 Rated – Dust-tight and water-resistant aluminium housing Wide Voltage Input – DC 5–30V Fast Response – 0.2-second measurement time Specifications Power Supply – DC 5–30V Working Current – <10 mA Output – RS485 (Modbus-RTU) UV Intensity Range – 0–15 mW/cm² Resolution – 0.01 mW/cm² Accuracy – ±10% FS (@ 365 nm, 60% RH, 25°C) UV Index Range – 0–15 Wavelength Range – 290–390 nm Response Time – 0.2 s Operating Temperature – -25 to +60°C Protection Rating – IP67 Sensor Cable – 20 cm Adapter Cable – 70 cm Ideal For Environmental UV monitoring and climate studies Health protection and UV exposure tracking Agricultural crop growth monitoring Photovoltaic system assessment Laboratory UV research Package Contents 1× RS485 UV Sensor 1× Adapter Cable 1× Screw Package Resources DFRobot Product Wiki
