Product Description
This UVB Meter is designed to test the UVB irradiance of the UVB lamp which used for the UV Aging, Reptile Lamps, Acrylic Shield Transmission or Eyewear UV block comparison. The instrument have a LCD which can display the value of the UVB irradiance the UVB lamp.

Sensor

Silicon Carbide (SIC) Photodiode packaged in hermetically sealed UV glass window cap.
Interference filter coating (Metal Oxide) blocks most UVA from response

Operating
Press and hold push-button switch on face of unit. Aim sensor window in top panel of
meter directly at UV source. Note reading on LCD and record if desired. For reptile lamps
also check at "basking" position.

Battery
Battery operation voltage is 3V down to 2.5V. Below 2.5V the LCD numbers will begin to
dim, indicating the need for battery replacement. Under "typical" service load, the battery
should last about 1 year.

Proper Usage of RGM-UVB meter for Lamp Aging Tests
- Wear eye protection when checking UV lamps (UV-block wrap around glasses).
- Allow lamps to warm-up prior to taking readings (at least 5 min).
- When checking aging of lamps, keep measuring distance and locations constant.
- Lamps should be replaced when output drops 30% to about 70% of their original (new) readings. Take overall reading at exposure distance, or check individual lamps close to surface. Keep track of hours vs. readings on a chart.
- If unsure of what original new values were, replace lamp(s) with new ones of the same kind and compare to old ones.
- When checking UVT acrylic transmission, take reading through acrylic; then remove acrylic and hold meter sensor at approximately the same distance from lamp as the acrylic shield was located. If acrylic blocks much UVB it should be replaced.
- When using this meter to compare different type lamps, due to their different spectral power distributions, the readings should be considered relative rather than absolute. Although higher output lamps of similar SPD's will generally read higher than lower output lamps, ones that peak near 290-300 nm (as does the meter response) will read higher than ones peaking near 313 nm even if the total UVB output of both is the same.
- Do not subject the meter to extremes in temperature, humidity, shock or dust.
- Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the intrument. Keep sensor free of oil, dirt, etc.
