Page 7: Intended Use
Operation only allowed in dry environments. The assembly position is arbitrary. When using the UVpad E, light and UV radiation can be reflected and distributed at the housing. Appropriate protection measures for the protection against radiation need to be applied, if neces- sary. -
Page 8: Important Information
The maximum housing temperature of the sensor can reach > 60 °C and there is the risk of skin burns on contact. Please allow for the UVpad E to cool down and use protective gloves to avoid skin burns. -

Page 11: Start Measurement
9 Operation 9.2.1 Start Measurement From the standby menu, a measurement is started with the key . First, the spectrum is displayed. Use ‘”Auto” mode to get the best integration time or, in fixed mode use and keys to adjust integration time. - Page 12 you can return to the standby screen. Note: If the irradiance is too low for the measurement range, then the UVpad E dis- plays no measured values. The irradiance and the dosage values are then dis- played with “-“.

9 Operation 9.2.2 Start manual dark measurement For manual darkness measurement, select the menu item "dark+radiometric" under Settings, Measurement mode. If your UVpad E is equipped with several effective functions, manual dark measurement may be available for further effective functions. Note: Manual darkness measurement is only active in the sensitivity mode "fixed". - Page 14 9 Operation 4. The irradiance is displayed. 5. To save the measurement, press the button for at least two seconds. After release, the irradiation values are dis- played. Note: The irradiance is not displayed if the darkness measurement is not done or the integration time has been changed.

Page 15: Show Last Measurement
If using fixed integration time, during a measurement you can set up the sensitivity of the UVpad E with the keys and . Select for a lower sensitivity and for a higher sensitiv- ity. The sensitivity is not saved. - Page 16 9 Operation Select a higher sensitivity (), if the spectrum is noisy or does not fill the display completely. Select a lower sensitivity (), if single lines of the spectrum are cut on top. The measurement range is then exceeded and is shown in the display MAX. Examples: Sensitivity too low Sensitivity correct...

Page 17: Recording Time
9.2.6 Settings In the menu „Settings“, you can set up the sensitivity, the effective function, the menu lan- guage and the date / time. Furthermore, you can reset the UVpad E to the factory settings. 9.2.7 Information Select the menu item “Information” from the standby menu, to display the serial number, the firmware version, as well as the date of calibration. -
Page 18: Settings
Reset to factory settings 9.3.1 Sensitivity The UVpad E adjusts the sensitivity automatically, in order to ensure the optimal signal-noise ratio. The sensitivity is hereby set via the sampling rate. With high irradiances, the sampling rate is increased in order to not exceed the measurement range. With low irradiances the sam- pling rate is decreased. -
Page 19: Averaging
This reduces sensitivity by factor of 5. 9.3.2 Averaging The UVpad E can calculate the irradiance from the moving average. Hereby are signal-to-noise ratio, and thus measurement accuracy can be enhanced. For integration times below 500 ms we recommend averaging over 16-32 measurements, while for integration times over 500 ms smaller settings may be useful. - Page 20 “(ef)” for “effective”. Radiometric and effect-related measure- ments are illustrated subsequently. Example: radiometric Example: with effective function The function “Effective Function” is only available, if your UVpad E has been programmed with a customized effective function at factory.

Button „Deselect all“ deselect marked measurements. Select “Export selected measurements” or “Export all measurements” for the data export. The measurements are exported as a text file, separated by a comma, and can thus be imported to a table calculation program, such as Microsoft EXCEL. -

11 Remote control / Live measurement 11 Remote control / Live measurement In addition to the export functions, the UVpad E software also has a remote control called "Live measurement". The button with the same name takes you to a separate user interface for remote control of the UVpad E. - Page 29 In the "Auto" mode a dark current measurement is done directly in the device. In "Auto" mode, dark current correction is carried out as usual in the UVpad E device. “Calibration + Auto” mode corresponds to the measurement result of the UVpad E.
- Page 30 11 Remote control / Live measurement When exporting all measurements, in addition to the averaged measurement result, all individ- ual measurements as well as the measurement results for irradiance are exported to a *. csv file. The export of a "single measurement" only provides the averaged measurement result. All measurement settings are also saved in the export file.

Page 31: Notes For Optimal Measurement Results
The UVpad E achieves optimal measurement results, if the measurement range is well adjusted to the irradiance and thus to the UV system. This is generally taken out automatically. The following notes are there to support you with the setting of the UVpad E, so that optimal measurement results can be achieved. -
