Davis UV Radiation Sensor (For Vantage Pro2 & Vantage Vue Weather Stations)

Davis UV Radiation Sensor (For Vantage Pro2 & Vantage Vue Weather Stations) Description

The Davis UV Radiation Sensor is an essential tool for anyone serious about monitoring UV radiation levels, whether you're a weather enthusiast, a researcher, or simply want to protect your family from harmful UV exposure. This sensor accurately measures the sunburning portion of the UV spectrum, providing crucial data such as the UV index, dose rate, and both daily and accumulated dose. With the ability to display this information, you can make informed decisions about sun exposure, especially during peak hours.

Imagine enjoying a sunny day outdoors, knowing exactly how much UV radiation you're being exposed to. The Davis UV Radiation Sensor offers peace of mind by allowing you to track UV levels with precision. Its multi-layer filter mimics the Erythema Action Spectrum closely, ensuring that the readings you receive are both reliable and helpful. The sensor’s diffuser enhances its cosine response, making it incredibly effective in various environmental conditions.

The design of the sensor is also user-friendly and practical. The two-piece housing minimizes radiation heating, which can affect readings, while also allowing for convection cooling of the sensor. This thoughtful construction prevents water and dust trapping, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. Additionally, it comes with a built-in level and a 2' (0.6 m) cable, making setup a breeze for both the original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 systems.

This sensor is perfect for users who appreciate accurate and real-time UV monitoring, whether for personal use, educational purposes, or outdoor activities. It's particularly suitable for families who want to enjoy their time outdoors safely, by understanding the UV index levels and adjusting their sun exposure accordingly.
