The RS485 UV Sensor is designed to measure ultraviolet (UV) intensity and index values within the wavelength range of 290-390nm. Utilizing a photoelectric detector and an industrial-grade microprocessor, ensures reliable and stable performance. The sensor operates on a DC 5-30V wide voltage power supply and employs the Modbus-RTU 485 communication protocol, making it compatible with Arduino and other microcontroller platforms through expansion boards like the TTL to RS485 module. With an IP67-rated metal aluminium shell, it is suitable 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
Built with a metal aluminium shell and an IP67 protection rating, the sensor is resistant to dust, water, and harsh environmental conditions. This robust design ensures long-term reliability in demanding outdoor and industrial settings.
Easy Integration and Compatibility
The sensor supports the Modbus-RTU 485 protocol and can be seamlessly integrated with Arduino and other systems using compatible expansion boards. Its wide voltage power supply (DC 5-30V) and simple wiring make it user-friendly and adaptable to diverse setups.
