UVA Photodetector – TOCON_A7UVA
TOCON_A7UVA – High-Accuracy UVA Photodetector for Industrial Curing, Coating Inspection, and Scientific Measurement Applications
The TOCON_A7UVA from SGLUX GmbH is a precision-calibrated UVA photodetector designed for accurate measurement of UVA radiation in industrial, research, and photometric environments.
It incorporates a solar-blind Silicon Carbide (SiC) photodiode with an integrated low-noise transimpedance amplifier, delivering a clean and stable 0–5 V DC output directly proportional to incident UVA irradiance.
Operating across 320 nm – 400 nm, with a peak sensitivity near 350 nm, the sensor ensures reliable performance in UVA curing, polymerisation, and material testing.
Factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST / PTB standards, the TOCON_A7UVA provides outstanding accuracy, repeatability, and long-term stability.
Its compact, rugged housing and complete solar blindness make it the perfect tool for precision UVA process control, optical calibration, and photobiological research.
Understanding UVA Photodetector - TOCON_A7UVA
The TOCON_A7UVA measures UVA radiation between 320 nm and 400 nm, with its peak response at 350 nm, ensuring accurate detection of UVA energy while excluding visible or infrared light.
It features a SiC photodiode coupled with a transimpedance amplifier, providing a linear 0–5 V analog output, compatible with SENSOR MONITOR 5.0, VOLTCON, and SGCD4 systems.
Each sensor undergoes traceable calibration (NIST / PTB) to guarantee reproducible irradiance readings for UVA curing, inspection, and material analysis.
Compact, stable, and precise, it is ideal for applications requiring dependable, long-term UVA monitoring.
