Triband UV Photodetector TOCON_ABC2 (UVA+UVB+UVC)
High-Precision Triband UV Sensor for Simultaneous UVA, UVB, and UVC Monitoring in Industrial and Scientific Systems
The TOCON_ABC2 by SGLUX GmbH is a triband ultraviolet (UV) photodetector engineered for precise and stable measurement of UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation within one compact module. It integrates a low-noise transimpedance amplifier to deliver a linear 0–5 V DC output proportional to irradiance, eliminating the need for external amplification. With a spectral range from 210 to 380 nm, it provides balanced sensitivity across all three UV regions, making it ideal for UV curing systems, sterilisation process validation, environmental UV monitoring, and photobiological safety testing. Each TOCON_ABC2 is factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST/PTB standards, ensuring accuracy and reproducibility across applications. Its rugged anodised aluminium housing, UV-grade quartz optical window, and wide operating voltage range (5–24 V DC) make it a reliable choice for demanding industrial, OEM, and research environments that require precise, long-term UV measurement performance.
Understanding Triband UV Photodetector TOCON_ABC2 (UVA+UVB+UVC)
The TOCON_ABC2 photodetector combines a GaN-based broadband UV photodiode with an integrated transimpedance amplifier, providing simultaneous detection of UVA (315–400 nm), UVB (280–315 nm), and UVC (210–280 nm). It is inherently insensitive to visible and infrared light, ensuring pure UV measurement without spectral interference. The sensor delivers a direct 0–5 V DC output, ideal for plug-and-play integration with SGLUX SENSOR MONITOR 5.0, VOLTCON, or SGCD4 systems. Its fast response time (<1 s), low drift, and temperature stability make it suitable for both static and dynamic applications. Traceable calibration (NIST/PTB) guarantees consistent, repeatable results for precision UV testing and industrial process monitoring.
