UVA Photodetector – TOCON_A8UVA
TOCON_A8UVA – Precision UVA Photodetector for Accurate Measurement of UV Curing, Inspection, and Industrial Processes
The TOCON_A8UVA from SGLUX GmbH is a precision-calibrated UVA photodetector optimised for accurate longwave ultraviolet (UVA) radiation measurement in industrial, research, and photobiological applications.
It features a Silicon Carbide (SiC) solar-blind photodiode with a built-in low-noise transimpedance amplifier, providing a linear 0–5 V DC output proportional to incident irradiance.
With a spectral sensitivity range from 320 nm to 400 nm and a peak response near 365 nm, it’s ideally suited for UV curing, material inspection, and fluorescence excitation monitoring.
Each detector is factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST / PTB standards, ensuring repeatable accuracy and long-term stability.
Compact, durable, and solar-blind, the TOCON_A8UVA guarantees reliable UVA performance in challenging industrial and laboratory environments.
Understanding UVA Photodetector - TOCON_A8UVA
The TOCON_A8UVA is a solar-blind UVA detector that measures ultraviolet radiation between 320 nm and 400 nm, with peak sensitivity at 365 nm.
Its SiC photodiode rejects visible and infrared light, ensuring pure UVA detection.
The integrated low-noise transimpedance amplifier outputs a stable 0–5 V DC signal, simplifying connection with data loggers, PLCs, and SENSOR MONITOR 5.0.
Factory-calibrated to NIST/PTB traceable standards, the TOCON_A8UVA ensures repeatable, accurate irradiance measurement for UV curing systems, coating inspection, material testing, and photobiological research.
Its robust construction and fast response make it a reliable and long-life UVA sensing solution.
