Description
UV Sensor
Measures the sunburning portion of the UV spectrum. Allows you to display UV index, dose rate, and daily and accumulated dose.
Multi-layer filter provides a spectral response that closely matches the Erythema Action Spectrum. Diffuser provides excellent cosine response. Two-piece housing minimizes radiation heating, allows convection cooling of the sensor, and prevents the trapping of water or dust. Includes built-in level and 2' (0.6M) cable.
Compatible with both original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2. (Already included with Vantage Pro Plus and Vantage Pro2 Plus.)
You may also need a Solar Sensor (#6450) and Sensor Mounting Shelf (#6673).
The Davis UV Sensor Part Number 6490 is a precision instrument designed to measure the sunburning portion of the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. Its advanced multi-layer filter offers a spectral response closely matching the Erythema Action Spectrum, providing accurate readings for UV index, dose rate, and both daily and accumulated UV dose. The sensor's diffuser ensures excellent cosine response, making it highly reliable in various lighting conditions. Its two-piece housing minimizes radiation heating, facilitates convection cooling, and prevents the trapping of water or dust, ensuring consistent performance over time. Compatible with both the original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 weather stations, this sensor is also included with the Vantage Pro Plus and Vantage Pro2 Plus models. It comes with a built-in level for precise installation and a 2-foot (0.6 meters) cable for flexible setup. For enhanced functionality, consider pairing it with a Solar Sensor (#6450) and Sensor Mounting Shelf (#6673). This sensor is ideal for meteorologists, researchers, and weather enthusiasts seeking accurate UV radiation measurements with reliable, weather-resistant design and seamless integration with Davis weather stations. The compact design and robust construction ensure long-term durability in outdoor environments, making it a valuable addition to your weather monitoring system.
