December 16, 2005—Steril-Aire, Inc., has introduced a new Modular Radiometer System that provides an affordable, versatile, and reliable means for measuring output of ultraviolet-C (UVC) devices. The system, explains Steril-Aire, has a separate display, sensor and logic controller that allows the use of some or all components to fit the user’s needs. Applications for the UVC monitoring device include large or critical HVAC installations and surface disinfection systems in manufacturing clean rooms and food processing areas.
The modular radiometer can measure UVC output in both microwatts/cm2 and in a user-defined pre-set percentage—functions usually found together only in more expensive models. It thereby ensures changeout of UVC lamps at optimum intervals, for maximum economy with no compromise in performance, according to Steril-Aire.
NIST (National Institute of Standards Testing) traceable calibration resides within the sensor for ease of calibration. Only the sensor is needed for recalibration service, allowing the rest of the network to remain intact. In addition, explains Steril-Aire, the logic controller provides easy-to-read visual indication of relative power and UVC lamp output. It may be used with a portable (hand-held) or stationary display module to provide digital readout data of relative or absolute power output of the lamp in micfowatts/cm2. The logic controller is easily connected to HVAC building management systems or programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
