The UV Light Sensor measures ambient ultraviolet intensity in the 200 to 370 nanometer range: solar ultraviolet UVA, UVB, and UVC light. The sensor has a built-in amplifier with adjustable levels. The UV Light Sensor may be used outdoors in a variety of applications including datalogging and closed-loop control, such as for activating watering or greenhouse vents.

The single analog output may be directly connected to the Propeller Activity Board 4-channel A/D converter or easily interfaced with the MCP3002 A/D with a FLiP Multicore Microcontroller.

Features:

UVA, UVB, UVC light measurement with a simple analog output
200–370 nm response spectrum for a wide range of natural solar light levels
Adjustable amplification
2 to 5 volt analog output is easy to read by many controllers or A/D converters
9 inch (22 cm) 3-pin female-female extension cable included

Applications:

Ultraviolet intensity exposure measurement and datalogging
Automatic shade system trigger
Control systems for gardening, plant growth, watering systems commonly used in greenhouses
