Flood Cure Meter
A radiometer should be chosen to fit the application and the information required. The majority of systems measure in the UVA spectrum (320nm-390nm). This is because the majority of UV chemistry responds to this band of energy. If it is desirable to measure other parts of the UV spectrum, a Selectable Radiometer is available to do so. Which wavelength to measure is also a matter of choice.
Single Channel Radiometer. Customer must specify UVA, UVB, UVC, or UVV when ordering.Up to 10W/cm².
Operating Ranges Depend On Which Channel Is Specified:
High Power:
- UVA, UVB, UVV: 100-10000 mW/cm²
- UVC: 10-1000 mW/cm²
Mid Power:
- UVA, UVB, UVV: 10-1000 mW/cm²
- UVC: 1-100 mW/cm²
Low Power:
- UVA, UVB, UVC, UVV: 1-100 mW/cm²
Availability: Radiometers are special order therefore non-cancelable and
non-returnable and have a 10-12 week lead time.
Radiometers come with a Calibration Certificate that is good for 6 months.
If you have never used this system with your material, be sure to speak with an IDS employee before ordering to confirm the compatibility.

UV Flood Meter Features
Truly compact: 4.60" (117 mm) diameter - same as a CD! Self-contained, battery powered. Total UV dosage, Joules/cm2. Peak UV intensity, Watts/cm2 - Measures four UV ranges - UVA, UVB, UVC, UVV. Low battery indicator, user-replaceable lithium batteries. Selectable data displays.
Operation
At start-up, the operator simply exposes the radiometer to the curing process, takes readings, and make adjustments by changing length of exposure time, cleaning reflectors, or even re-lamping. The radiometer quantifies the UV curing system and takes the guesswork out of the overall curing process.
Simply push the “Reset” button and send the unit through a curing system, either conveyorized or stationary. The unit begins accumulating data when UV energy is encountered which is greater than its 5mW/cm2 threshold. After the meter has been passed through the UV process, touching the “Select” button to scroll through a simple menu can easily access the results of its measurements. Measurements displayed will be the UV bandwidth being monitored, the total UV energy in Joules/cm2, and the peak UV intensity in Watts/cm2 . If a low battery condition exists, this will also be displayed. The unit will time itself out after approximately two minutes of non-use to conserve battery life.
After the unit times itself out, the measurements obtained by the meter for all bandwidths on all menus can still be accessed by pushing the “Select” button again. This information will remain available until the user pushes the “Reset” button to initiate a new reading. The unit is able to withstand extremely demanding operating conditions. Since the internal temperature should not exceed 80°C, an audible high temperature alarm will provide a warning that the unit is approaching an unsafe internal temperature. The meter can accommodate energy intensities up to 10W/cm2. Total energy range is 0 to 250 Joules/cm2 for each UV range.
The Flood Cure Meter uses lithium, batteries, replaceable by the user. A weak battery will trigger a "Lo Battery" warning to appear on the display. Data remains valid even in "Lo Battery" status. When the battery voltage affects data integrity, zeros are displayed in all locations.
