Page 3: Introduction
Introduction The EIT MicroCure® system addresses UV measurement and process control in areas where using a standard radiometer is difficult due to size and space limitations. The MicroCure’s compact size allows it to fit into, and adapt to a variety of demanding physical and thermal environments. This makes it possible to obtain reliable UV measurements in curing applications that would ordinarily be inaccessible to larger radiometers. -

When comparing readings, the irradiance values provided by the MicroCure are similar to the irradiance values collected with EIT instruments used in the “Smooth Off” (instantaneous peak) mode versus “Smooth On” or “Smooth Profile” (average peak) mode. Contact EIT if you have any questions on samples rates or ‘smoothing’... - Page 11 Use isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth to clean the case of the MicroCure • Do not open the radiometer's case.
