Triband UV Photodetector TOCON_ABC8 (UVA+UVB+UVC)
High-Precision Triband UV Sensor for UVA, UVB, and UVC Measurement in Industrial and Scientific Applications
The TOCON_ABC8 from SGLUX GmbH is a triband UV photodetector engineered to measure UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation across the 220–400 nm spectral range. It features a solar-blind silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode combined with an integrated low-noise transimpedance amplifier, providing a linear 0–5 V DC output directly proportional to total UV irradiance.
Designed for industrial process monitoring, UV disinfection validation, and research-grade measurements, the TOCON_ABC8 offers exceptional stability, low drift, and fast response even under continuous UV exposure.
Its robust anodised aluminium housing and UV-grade quartz optical window ensure high durability in demanding environments.
Each TOCON_ABC8 is factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST/PTB standards, guaranteeing precise and reproducible measurements for UV curing, sterilisation control, solar simulation, and photobiological experiments where multi-band UV data is essential.
Understanding Triband UV Photodetector TOCON_ABC8 (UVA+UVB+UVC)
The TOCON_ABC8 is a broadband UV photodetector that simultaneously measures UVA (315–400 nm), UVB (280–315 nm), and UVC (220–280 nm) radiation. Its solar-blind SiC photodiode filters out visible and infrared interference, ensuring accurate UV-only measurements in any lighting condition.
The integrated amplifier outputs a stable 0–5 V signal, easily readable by SGLUX SENSOR MONITOR 5.0, VOLTCON, or SGCD4 systems for real-time control and monitoring.
With a sub-second response time, high linearity, and traceable calibration, the TOCON_ABC8 provides reliable performance for UV process validation, environmental UV assessment, and industrial disinfection control.
