Model: SEM228V

UV Sensor

UV intensity sensor for 290–390 nm, 0–15 mW/cm², IP67 aluminium housing, RS-485 Modbus-RTU or analogue output.

The SEM228V measures ultraviolet intensity. A photosensitive element converts UV light in the 290–390 nm band into an electrical signal, so UV can be monitored online, in the atmosphere or under artificial light sources. It is used in environmental monitoring, weather monitoring, agriculture and forestry. It connects to a SpaceEcho station and reports to EchoCloud.
