Dymax ACCU-CAL™ 50 UV Radiometer Smart UV Intensity Meter
About Dymax ACCU-CAL™ 50 UV Radiometer
Consistent UV curing requires periodic monitoring of UV intensity or dose with a UV intensity meter. The Dymax ACCU-CAL 50 Radiometer is simple to operate and offers repeatable measurement of UV light.
There are two types of ACCU-CAL 50 radiometers:
ACCU-CAL 50 UV Intensity Meter
can measure UV light emitted from broad-spectrum lightguides (3mm, 5mm and 8mm), UV flood systems and UV conveyors. With a spectral sensitivity of 320nm to 390nm (UV-A), it measures intensities from 1mW/cm² to 40 W/cm².
ACCU-CAL 50-LED UV Intensity Meter
measures UV light emitted from LED UV equipment and has a spectral sensitivity of 350nm to 450nm.
A specially designed detector assembly protects the photo-sensor from the high temperatures sometimes associated with modern high intensity UV curing spot lamps, which can lead to inaccurate measurements. Fixtures are supplied which lock UV lamp lightguides into position over the sensor, giving accurate and repeatable measurements. The ACCU-CAL 50 features an easy-to-use instruction set with a simple, clear display and three button operation.
