Its backlit dual LCD displays real-time and statistical data, while 20-point memory with automatic interval recording ensures comprehensive monitoring. Lightweight and portable, it includes tripod and magnetic mounts, making it ideal for professionals in labs, industrial settings, and environmental monitoring who demand accuracy and convenience. ## Description General Tools UV512C Digital Ultraviolet UVC Light Meter is designed to measure ultraviolet light in the range from 220 to 275 nanometers (nM). The illumination range of the meter allows users to conduct the most precise quantitative measurements of ultraviolet radiation for radiometry and laboratory requirements, UV-curing in off-set printing, lamp UV intensity & aging, industrial process monitoring, semiconductor fabrication, sunlight UV intensity to prevent skin damage, sterilization and environmental monitoring. Conduct UV degradation studies for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, semiconductor, printing, forensic applications and more. The UV light intensity appears on the large backlit display in either ìW or mW/cm² while the small lower display simultaneously shows minimum, maximum, average, and recorded data. Up to 20 data points can be recorded automatically at a variety of intervals. SPECIFICATIONS Measurement ranges: 1 to 9999 μW/cm2 (low) and 0. 01 to 40 mW/cm2 (high) Measurement accuracy: (4% of reading +1 digit) Spectral range: 220 to 275 nm Calibration point: 254 nm Sampling time: 0. 3 seconds Memory capacity: 20 measurements, plus 1 for interval time Interval time options: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 30 seconds and 1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes Operating temperature: 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C) @ Weight: 3. 2 oz.

WORK SMARTER, MEASURE BETTER & BE MORE PRODUCTIVE WITH GENERAL TOOLS Review: Great price on an accurate meter for UVA - I had cataracts and got a lens called LAL+. These are adjustable after you get LAL lenses put in. The problem is that they make you wear UV400 certified glasses until you get the vision updates locked in. This meter is perfect for measuring your glasses and for measuring your environment. The UV frequency you have to avoid with the LAL lenses is between 200 and 400 NM. Specifically 165NM. This meter makes life easy. Great price. With this meter you can buy any UV400 certified pair of glasses and make sure they meet spec. Review: Well-bult digital UV meter - I like this digital UV meter because it lets me know how strong UV light will be from many sources. For example, somebody says the halogen light at your desk has very strong UV. After I bought this meter, I measured UV light from halogen bulb, CFL bulb, LED light bulb, incandescent light bulb at home and know exactly how much UV light emitted from them with compared to the UV light from the Sun. In this way, I can avoid the source that emits very strong UV light. This meter was built very well. It comes with a hard case although the hard case was not shown in the picture. The wand in this meter need a simple assembly by using five supplied screws but it is very easy. The measurement is very sensitive and the sampling rate seems high because I can see the measured value changes very quickly. It totally met my expectations so I give 5 stars. ## Features - SPECTRAL RANGE- 220 to 275 nM - MEASURING RANGE- 1 to 1999 uW/cm2 and 0. 01 to 40 mW/cm2 - DISPLAY- Backlit dual-readout 4-digit LCD - MEMORY- 20-measurement memory - RECORDS- Automatic time (interval) recording in 1, 2, 5, 10 and 30 seconds and 1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes - MOUNTS- Tripod and magnetic mounts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002XZLTRS | | Batteries Included? | Yes | | Batteries Required? | Yes | | Battery Cell Type | Alkaline | | Best Sellers Rank | #134,357 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #53 in Lab Photometers & Light Meters | | Certification | No | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (128) | | Date First Available | December 13, 2006 | | Included Components | One UV probe, tripod screw, magnetic mount, hard foam-lined carrying case, and one 9 V battery | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.8 ounces | | Item model number | UV512C | | Manufacturer | General Tools | | Part Number | UV512C | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 2.88 x 10.63 x 10.5 inches | | Size | 220-275nm | | Style | 220-275 nm | | Warranty Description | Warranted for workmanship and materials | ## Images ![General Tools UV512C Digital Ultraviolet UVC Light Meter, 220 to 270 nM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616r2p4ATzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does meter come with calibration certificate?** A: Usually, in a situation such as this, a company will have one device that has been calibrated at NIST, and they will compare all their other meters to this device. Hence, NIST traceable. I don’t know what level of accuracy they state, but I bet that even without a certificate, an accuracy of 3-5% range is achievable with a consistent manufacturing process. That is also why they can give you a response curve that works for this model. Whether this is good enough for your application is the determining factor to its acceptability. **Q: Mide la radiación UV puntual, o también la radiación acumulada en un período de tiempo?** A: SOAMENTE RADIACION PUNTUAL **Q: Is the probe waterproof? I need to measure fluence in a water sample that has light beaming on it.** A: Do not believe this is specifically waterproof beside you really need a spectrometer like an ocean optics with the curveette holder and a light source **Q: Do i need to use the black case/"wand" around the sensor? Or does the sensor work without it? It seems like it bends the cord a bit.** A: I used it with "wand" assembly. If there is no other mounting for sensor, it is a good idea to have that assembly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price on an accurate meter for UVA *by A***R on July 8, 2024* I had cataracts and got a lens called LAL+.
