Wide-Spectrum UV Index Sensor for UVA, UVB & UVC Detection: Monitor UV intensity and solar exposure in real-time with I2C output for smart environmental sensing.
The Gravity: UV Index Sensor is a highly sensitive instrument that detects ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the 240-370nm wavelength range, which includes UVA, UVB, and UVC. The sensor's primary concentration is on the UVB spectrum, making it excellent for applications like skin health assessment and UV index monitoring. This device directly outputs the UV index from 0 to 11 and a harm risk warning from 1 to 5, avoiding the need for extra calculations. It is versatile, supporting both I2C and UART communication protocols, making it compatible with a wide range of master control systems.
Direct UV Index and Harm Level Output
The UV Index 240-370 Sensor gives instantaneous data without conversion, with UV index values ranging from 0 to 11 and damage levels from 1 to 5. Because it streamlines the procedure for users, this immediate output is especially helpful for monitoring UV radiation in real time and determining the likelihood of skin damage.
Wide UV Wavelength Range
