UV Radiation Sensor Davis — Professional UV Index monitoring for precision weather insights

Monitor harmful ultraviolet exposure with the UV Radiation Sensor Davis, engineered for dependable UV Index measurement in professional and hobby weather stations. Its precision optics and stable electronics deliver fast, consistent readings that help you make smarter decisions for health, safety and operations. Designed for long‑term outdoor performance, this sensor offers reliable UV Index tracking, robust weatherproof construction and seamless integration with Davis weather systems to transform real‑time sunlight into actionable data.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Protect people with accurate UV Index — Display clear UV risk levels to guide sun exposure, outdoor activities and workplace safety protocols in schools, sports facilities, beaches and events.
• Improve agronomic decisions — Use UV trends to refine crop protection timing, greenhouse shading and livestock management, supporting plant health and productivity.
• Enhance building and smart city operations — Automate shading, HVAC strategies and public information signage using live UV metrics to optimise comfort and energy use.
• Support research and environmental monitoring — Capture consistent UV data for climatology studies, air‑quality projects and long‑term trend analysis with dependable repeatability.
• Integrate easily with Davis ecosystems — Add UV capability to compatible Davis stations for consolidated dashboards, alerts and historical reports without complex setup.
• Enable proactive safety policies — Set threshold alarms for high UV conditions to trigger protective actions such as sun‑safe reminders, sunscreen stations or shading deployment.

Featured technical specifications

• Measured variable — Global solar ultraviolet irradiance expressed as UV Index, a dimensionless scale weighted to human skin erythema response for clear risk communication.
• Spectral sensitivity — Broad UVA and UVB response typically centred across approximately 290 to 390 nm to reflect the standard UV Index weighting in practical outdoor conditions.
• Optics and diffuser — UV‑stabilised diffuser provides near‑cosine response, delivering accurate readings across a wide range of solar zenith angles throughout the day.
• Data outputs on compatible systems — Real‑time UV Index, daily maximum, and cumulative exposure metrics with configurable high‑UV alarms via supported Davis consoles and software.
• Construction and durability — Weather‑resistant housing and UV‑resistant materials engineered for continuous outdoor exposure and long service life.
• Operating conditions — Wide environmental tolerance suitable for year‑round installations, typically from −40 °C to +65 °C depending on the host station and site conditions.
• Mounting and alignment — Designed for level, unobstructed horizontal installation to true sky with Davis‑compatible brackets for fast, secure setup.
• Maintenance — Minimal routine care required, with simple periodic cleaning of the diffuser surface to maintain accuracy and stability over time.
• Compatibility — Works with compatible Davis weather stations and data logging solutions to extend your platform with fully integrated UV monitoring.
