6490 Davis Instruments UV Sensor
$945.00 Inc. GST
Sensor for Vantage Pro 2 ISS, EnviroMonitor Node or Sensor Transmitter
Description
Having the 6490 ultraviolet (UV) radiation sensor on your VP2 sensor suite allows your Davis system to:
- Measure the intensity of the sunburning part of the UV spectrum (UVA and UVB)
- Calculate and display the UV Index, dose rate, daily and accumulated UV dose
Why buy this?
- As a replacement part for any Vantage Pro 2 (VP2) GroWeather or VP2 Plus sensor suite, cabled or wireless
- To upgrade your VP2 sensor suite to a VP2 Plus
- To plug into a 6332NZ Sensor Transmitter as part of a WeatherLink system
- To plug into a 6810 Node as part of an EnviroMonitor system
Important:
- This sensor cannot save or transmit your data. A Davis transmitter and receiver are required and are sold separately
- If upgrading or adding this sensor to your system, you will need a sensor mounting shelf. Choose between the 6673 mounting shelf for adding the solar sensor (and/or 6450 Solar Radiation sensor) to your Vantage Pro 2 sensor suite and the 6670 Universal Mounting Bracket for use elsewhere
More information
Technical details:
- A precision radiometer that detects ultraviolet (UV) radiation at wavelengths of 290-390 nanometers
- Output shows UV radiation dose in MEDS
- The spectral response is closely matched to the Erythema Action Spectrum (defined by McKinlay & Diffey 1987) and internationally recognised as the radiation that is most responsible for causing redness of the human skin
- The shield provides a cutoff ring with a comb structure for cosine response
- The UV sensor body houses a diffuser, transducer and amplifier
- Two-piece housing minimises radiation heating by allowing convection cooling and prevents the trapping of water or dust
- Built in bubble-level
- Comes with the screws needed to mount the sensor to a mounting shelf (sold separately)
- 0.6m cable with RJ-11 connector to plug straight into your Davis transmitter (sold separately)
