CUV5 is a general-purpose instrument measuring the total UV radiation from natural sunlight for applications in meteorology and outdoor material testing.
The high quality dome and diffuser provide optimized directional response. A specially designed optical filter provides sensitivity to combined UVA and UVB irradiance. The photodiode generates a voltage output linearly proportional to the UV intensity.
Specific parts of the UV spectrum such as UVA, UVB or UVE / UV Index cannot be derived from the CUV5 measurements. For measurement of these individual parameters specific SUV models are required.
A waterproof plug and socket cable connection facilitates easy installation. The snap-on sun shield protects the connector and allows viewing of the integrated bubble level. The screw-in drying cartridge is easy to remove and the replacement desiccant is supplied in convenient refill packets.
CUV5 is compatible with the same accessories as CMP range of pyranometers.
