WARNINGS Mains Voltage – Shock Hazard! A 115 or 240 VAC mains supply is required to charge the Solatell Sola-Scope 2000 unit. UV Hazard! The system is designed to measure high intensity ultra violet light. Strong UV light represents a hazard to human skin and eyes. - Page 4 Quick Start On / Off Press button to switch on. Press and hold for 2 seconds to switch off. ICONS at top of screen The top part of your screen displays a number of symbols to keep you informed about battery level, stored data, range meter and time as follows: Icon Function Indicates battery level –...
- Page 5 Radiometer Mode Figure 1 illustrates the Radiometer Mode. If your instrument is in the Gauge Mode, press F2 to change modes. Figure 1 Radiometer Mode The top part of the screen gives information in the form of icons about battery level, range meter, saved data and time. The middle section gives the current data displayed as large numbers in the Radiometer Mode.
- Page 6 Note. Positioning of the Sola Check is critical. Probes should be locked in place with a probe locator. If no probe is being used, the Sola-Check should be positioned on a flat surface and clamped in place.

- Page 9 The Facts behind the Figures Radiometer Mode The radiometer mode is in fact three separate screens. The first screen shows the intensity within the wavelength-range-1 and is labeled Area-1. The range for Area 1 can be changed in the menu as described in section 2. The reason it is known as the area is because it is the sum of the intensities for each wavelength within the range –...
- Page 10 Gauge Mode The gauge mode compares the current data with the stored data and represents the comparison in the form of a bar. The top bar represents the current intensity (or “area”) within wavelength- range-1 as a percentage of the same area of the stored data and is labeled For example, if the intensity in the 240-280nm range (Area 1) for the current data is 0.849mW/cm and the intensity of the stored data in the range 240-...
- Page 11 Range meter The Sola-Check measures UV in a similar way to a camera taking a photograph. In other words to get a sharp and accurate picture of the UV the “exposure time” or sample time is critical. When you use auto-ranging the Check is finding the correct sample time.
- Page 12 Advanced Explanations Taking measurements There are three possible ways to make the Sola-Check take a sample of the Auto-ranging scan : Hold sample for 2 seconds, then release. Simple scan: Press sample , briefly – this takes a scan using the same ‘intensity range’...
- Page 13 If the user just presses sample (i.e. uses the same intensity range as the previous scan) and the intensity range is inappropriate (too low or too high) then a warning message is displayed. Smart-Scan : Optimising Smart-Scan increases the ”definition” between low and high intensity wavelengths (like better focus of a camera).
