Davis UV Radiation Sensor (6490)

A UV sensor is an excellent piece to add to your arsenal of weather sensors. A UV radiation sensor is useful for those who wish to reduce exposure to UV radiation, but it is also a necessity in certain testing environments. For companies that make products that are sensitive to UV light, a UV light sensor is a helpful tool used to create optimal product storage environments.

Davis Instruments UV index sensor measures the sunburning portion of the UV spectrum. It measures global solar UV irradiance: the sum of the components of solar UV transmitted directly and those scattered in the atmosphere. It reports the UV index, dose rate, and daily and accumulative doses of UV light. This sensor is an excellent addition to the Vantage Pro2 weather station. In addition, it can be installed on a Sensor Transmitter, reporting to a WeatherLink Live; or in an EnviroMonitor Node, reporting to an EnviroMonitor Gateway.
