UV Hazard Meter employs dual-sensor design.

Press Release Summary:




Handheld X1-1 meter utilizes 4-channel microprocessor technology to display separate UV-C/B and UV-A detector measurements as well as calculate and display sum of 2 detector readings for UV hazard assessment. XD-9506 detector covers full ACGIH/ICNIRP UV spectral effectiveness function by employing 2 sensor/filter/diffuser combinations that provide 325-400 nm and 250-325 nm spectral response. Other X1-1 features include dose measurement function, RUN/HOLD, and backlit LCD.

New Duo-Sensor UV Hazard Meter



Four-channel microprocessor technology enables Gigahertz-Optiks' new X1-1 hand-held meter to operate and display separate UV-C/B, UV-A detector measurements as well as calculate and display the sum of the two detector readings for more accurate UV hazard assessment per ACGIH /ICNIRP guidelines.

The XD-9506 detector covers the full ACGIH / ICNIRP UV spectral effectiveness function by employing two sensor/filter/diffuser combinations providing separate ACGIH UV-A (325 to 400 nm) and ACGIH UVC/B (250 to 325 nm) spectral responses.
The two sensor method allows a more precise assessment of hazard because the ACGIH/ICNIRP UV-C/B function exhibits approximately 10000X higher weighting than UV-A, making it extremely difficult to accurately duplicate the full function using only one filtered broadband detector.

Furthermore the detector design ensures proper isolation between the ACGIH, UV-A and UV-C/B spectral regions, important when assessing UV-A rich sources. Both sensors are mounted into one compact housing that connects to the X1-1 meter via a 2 m long cable. Calibration is certified traceable to national standards.

Other X1-1 features include dose measurement function, RUN/HOLD, USB interface, (2) AA battery operation (100 hour battery life), backlit LCD and is compatible with a wide variety of other Gigahertz-Optik single and multi-sensor detector heads.

The X1-1 + XD-9506-4 UV Hazard Meter is priced at $2421- including hard case, USB cable & DLL file.
