UVA Photodetector – TOCON_A4UVA
High-Precision UVA Detector for Industrial Curing, Environmental Monitoring, and Photobiological Measurement Applications
The TOCON_A4UVA from SGLUX GmbH is a high-accuracy UVA photodetector engineered for precise detection of ultraviolet radiation in the 315–400 nm range. Equipped with a silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode and an integrated low-noise transimpedance amplifier, it delivers a linear 0–5 V DC output directly proportional to UVA irradiance.
Designed for industrial curing, photobiological research, and environmental monitoring, the TOCON_A4UVA provides excellent spectral selectivity, ensuring accurate measurement without interference from visible or infrared light.
Encased in a robust anodised aluminium housing with a UV-grade quartz window, it offers long-term durability under continuous exposure to high-intensity UVA radiation.
Factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST/PTB standards, the TOCON_A4UVA guarantees reliable, reproducible, and standardised UVA measurements, making it ideal for UV curing, solar simulation, and safety compliance monitoring across research and industry.
Understanding UVA Photodetector - TOCON_A4UVA
The TOCON_A4UVA uses a UVA-optimised SiC photodiode to measure radiation between 315–400 nm, rejecting visible and IR wavelengths for pure UVA detection.
Its integrated transimpedance amplifier produces a 0–5 V linear output, simplifying connection with SGLUX SENSOR MONITOR 5.0, VOLTCON, or SGCD4 systems.
With a fast response time (<1 s) and low signal drift, it ensures precise and stable readings under varied UVA sources.
The factory calibration traceable to NIST/PTB guarantees accuracy, reproducibility, and compliance with international standards for use in industrial process monitoring, photometric testing, and environmental UV research.
