This
Single-Channel Integrator is a self-contained, high quality UV
measuring instrument. It is designed to measure, record and display
key values in the UV curing process, like: Peak UV intensity, UV dosage and optionally curing
chamber Temperature.
With UV and temperature measuring (option),
most of the measuring requirements of UV curing applications are
covered. This instrument can measure, record and display the peak
UV-intensity of the total
UV spectrum (mW/cm2). Additionally, UV-dosage is calculated (mJ/cm2,)
based onthe UV energy supplied during the the measuring cycle. The
UV-dosage is calculated as the
total Integral of UV-dosage over the full UV spectral bands.
This instrument features a selectable
ãtriggered modeÒ, i.e. the 30 sec recording cycle starts within a 120
second readiness phase not before the incident UV-intensity exceeds 2
mW/cm². The sensors is on the back of the unit which also
serves as a heat shield. After completion of the measuring cycle all
measuring results can be scrolled through on the built in LCD display.
Options: A) This instruments
is also available with a
SD-Memory
Card
Slot. Measurements
can be stored and downloaded to a
computer for further evaluation. The included software allows to show,
edit and
store a history of the measuring results of the entire measuring cycle
as graphic and numeric charts. (mW/cm2 and mJ cm2 and °C/°F if
equipped with a temperature sensor)
B) Also
available is a Temperature Sensor
with a measuring range of 32 to 230º F or 0 to 110º C.
A special AUTO-OFF feature that turns off the unit automatically
after one minute serves as energy saving and extension of the battery
service life.
Notes:
While on the conveyer belt, the Instrument can
withstand max. 230° F / 110° C for up to 10 seconds. The
temperature of the housing should not exceed 113° F / 45° C.
Because
of uneven radiation distribution of the UV light source and
different type of construction of the measuring devices by different
manufacturers, different readings may appear under the same measurement
conditions.
Calibration:
In order to keep its full function and precision it is recommended to
have a re-calibration done once per year.
Re-calibration
will also be
necessary after a battery change.
PTB
traceable calibration according
to
DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025 with certificate.
