Triband UV Photodetector TOCON_ABC5 (UVA+UVB+UVC)
High-Sensitivity Triband UV Sensor for Comprehensive UVA, UVB, and UVC Radiation Monitoring in Industrial and Research Applications
The TOCON_ABC5 by SGLUX GmbH is a precision-engineered triband UV photodetector designed to measure combined UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation with high accuracy. Featuring an integrated low-noise transimpedance amplifier, it delivers a linear 0–5 V DC output directly proportional to the total UV irradiance. Covering a broad spectral range from 210 nm to 380 nm, this sensor is ideal for monitoring germicidal lamps, environmental UV studies, and industrial UV exposure systems. The detector’s unique GaN/SiC hybrid filter ensures balanced spectral response across all three UV regions. Each device is factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST/PTB standards, ensuring reliable and reproducible measurements. Built in a robust anodised aluminium TOCON housing with a UV-grade quartz window, the TOCON_ABC5 provides durability and stability under continuous UV exposure, making it a trusted solution for laboratories, OEM systems, and industrial monitoring setups.
Understanding Triband UV Photodetector TOCON_ABC5 (UVA+UVB+UVC)
The TOCON_ABC5 photodetector combines precision detection across UVA (315–400 nm), UVB (280–315 nm), and UVC (210–280 nm) bands, offering a comprehensive view of total UV exposure. Its integrated amplifier ensures stable, linear 0–5 V DC output for easy interfacing with data loggers or SGLUX SENSOR MONITOR 5.0. The detector provides fast response (< 1 s), low noise, and excellent temperature stability, enabling reliable performance in demanding industrial and scientific environments. Factory calibration traceable to NIST/PTB ensures precision and repeatability, making TOCON_ABC5 an essential component in UV curing control, disinfection verification, and environmental UV measurement systems.
