Page 57: System Selection
For the UVpad we recommend the setting "fixed integration time". Different settings may therefore be necessary for some UV systems. The UVpad Config Tool offers the possibility to parameterize the measurement settings for 6 UV systems. In addition, the system name is displayed in the exported measurements in order to be able to assign the measurements. -
Page 58: Notes For Optimal Measurement Results
The measurement time for the UVpad is set via the integration time. Typical integration times are 10 ms to 200 ms. If the UVpad is moved underneath an UV system at slow speed, then the maximum irradiance (directly underneath the UV lamp) is being determined, since several measurements are available for the irradiance. -
Page 59: The Uvpad Displays Too Little Irradiance Values
Furthermore, the UV lamps generally emit visible light and IR radiation apart from the UV radiation. Both can generate scattered light in the UVpad, which is then detected. It is also possible that the UVpad heats up during the measurement and thus the reading noise increases. -
Page 60: The Measured Value Is Not Reproducible
12 Notes for optimal measurement results 12.6 The measured value is not reproducible Measurements are only stored and displayed in UVpad when the saturation is between 10% and 100%. This can cause to saturation direct under the light source, however correct measurement may be recorded before or after that. -
