A compact, portable, battery-powered meter has been developed to monitor and to integrate ultraviolet irradiance. The meter has been designed to accept signals from either a thermopile or a solid-state (GaAsP) diode detector. A variable scale factor is provided to accommodate a range of different detector sensitivities. The measurable irradiance range is 100 microW cm-2 to 100 mW cm-2 and that of dose is 200 mJ cm-2 to 200 J cm-2. The meter can be operated manually or for a range of preset times. The irradiance, dose and elapsed times are displayed. Outputs from the preamplifier and from the scaling amplifier are available for interfacing the instrument with a computer or chart recorder. The meter has been designed to have an overall measurement uncertainty of the order of 1% in order to ensure that the major error contribution lies with the detecting devices.
已开发出一种紧凑、便携、由电池供电的仪表，用于监测和整合紫外线辐照度。该仪表设计用于接收来自热电堆或固态（砷化镓磷）二极管探测器的信号。提供了可变比例因子，以适应一系列不同的探测器灵敏度。可测量的辐照度范围为100微瓦/平方厘米至100毫瓦/平方厘米，剂量范围为200毫焦/平方厘米至200焦/平方厘米。该仪表可以手动操作，也可以在一系列预设时间内运行。会显示辐照度、剂量和经过的时间。前置放大器和比例放大器的输出可用于将仪器与计算机或图表记录仪连接。该仪表的设计使其总体测量不确定度约为1%，以确保主要误差源自检测设备。
