UV Sensor

Installing the Sensor

Follow the instructions in this section to install your sensor. Before you begin,
consult the System Installation manual for instructions on labeling the UV sen-
sor cable.

For scientific measurements you may mount the sensor on the Sensor Mounting
Arm (SMA) or any level surface.

For measurements where the immediate effect on human health is of interest, we
recommend that you mount the sensor such that its axis is aligned with the sun’s
rays at solar noon.

This maximizes the mid-day readings and provides what is probably a
more accurate measure of the UV that people are exposed to. The Sensor
Tilting Bracket #7706 is designed for this purpose.

Typical Standard Installation

The illustration below shows typical standard UV installation. The sensor cable
attaches to connector S3 on the sensor interface module (SIM).
