CUV5 is a general-purpose instrument measuring the total UV radiation from natural sunlight for applications in meteorology and outdoor material testing. The high quality dome and diffuser provide optimized directional response. A specially designed optical filter provides sensitivity to combined UVA and UVB irradiance. The photodiode generates a voltage output linearly proportional to the UV intensity. Specific parts of the UV spectrum such as UVA, UVB or UVE / UV Index cannot be derived from the CUV5 measurements. For measurement of these individual parameters our specific SUV models are required. A waterproof plug and socket cable connection facilitates easy installation. The snap-on sun shield protects the connector and allows viewing of the integrated bubble level. The screw-in drying cartridge is easy to remove and the replacement desiccant is supplied in convenient refill packets. CUV5 is compatible with the same accessories as our CMP range of pyranometers.
