INTRODUCTION The LPUVB02 radiometer measures the global irradiance in the UVB spectral range on a flat surface (W/m ). In particular, the instrument spectral sensitivity is centred at 304 nm with a 5 nm bandwidth (FWHM - Full Width at Half Maximum).
Fig. 2.1 Fig. 2.2 The LPUVB02 is provided with a 50 mm external diameter dome in order to supply a suitable protection of the sensor to the weather agents. Quartz was chosen due to its optimum transmission in the UV range.

• It is preferably to thermally insulate the radiometer from its mounting bracket en- suring, at the same time, a good electrical contact to ground. Fixing holes ∅ 6 mm Levelling device Fig. 3.2: fixing holes and levelling device LPUVB02 V2.0...
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS LPUVB02 has a 8-pole connector and uses the CPM12AA8U... optional cables. The metallic housing of the radiometer should preferably be grounded ( ) locally. In this case, do not connect the wire of the cable corresponding to the housing to prevent ground loops.

Read instructions at chapter 3 about how to replace the silica-gel crystals. Silica-gel typical lifetime goes from 2 to 6 months depending on the environment where the radiometer works. To exploit all the radiometer features, it is highly recommended that the calibration be checked annually. LPUVB02 V2.0...
