Features

The UV_Controller_1 module was specifically developed to monitor the power output of ultraviolet emitting luminescent lamps.

It features a high precision photodiode input amplifier, two customer adjustable switching points as well as a relay output.

This module can be easily mounted to panels requiring just a rectangular mounting hole according to DIN 43700. For simplified mounting and replacing we use a pluggable screw terminal system.

	Supply voltage range 12 V - 18.0 V DC with surge and polarity protection
	Low power consumption:( < 0.5 W @ 24 V DC)
	Measurement range (photocurrent): 0 - 500 nA
	3 LED display for actual intensity and state indication
	Integrated warm up delay to overcome starting problems
	Indication of wrong set points and over current
	Switching levels (adjustable): 0 - 100 %
	Measurement range (photocurrent): 0 - 500 nA
	Relay output 250 V AC / 2 A free floating Silicon Carbide based chip for extreme irradiation hardness

Important Notes

Please consider any possible action to protect the sensitive photodiode input against electrostatic discharge (ESD). Not to do so may damage the appliance and voids warranty.

Please also check that there is no ground loop on the photodiode input connection as this may give wrong measurements.

Electrical Characteristics

(at 25ºC unless otherwise stated)

	min, typical, max
	Supply voltage (V): 11, 24, 30
	Power dissipation (W) : 0.1, 0.4, 0.5
	(at 24V supply voltage, depends on relay & LED state)

Analogue Signal

	Photocurrent range* (nA): 0 - 500 (typical)
	Low/high set point (% max photocurrent): 0 - 1500 (typical)
	Hysteresis on both set points (%): 2.3, 2.43, 2.5 (min, typical, max)

*the corresponding optical power and optical power density strongly depends on the specific spectra of your UV lamp and therefore has to be calculated for each particular application.
