Digital light meter X1-3

UV

Optical radiation from artificial and natural light sources can effect a photobiological reaction on human skin and eye with the risk of damage due to overexposure. Regulations, standards and guidelines that include effective limit values are published for equipment safety and occupational safety in the workplace. Equipment safety requirements that are internationally agreed on require manufacturer’s to classify, design criteria and warning labels for their products, whereas workplace safety tends to be more national requiring health hazard protection of employees including published exposure limit values, threat analysis and precautionary measures. The most current regulations are: EN 62471 for Equipment Safety 2006/25/EC Guideline and DIN EN 14255 for Safety of Workplaces Integral measurement technology Gigahertz-Optik GmbH, as a world class manufacturer of high-end filter photometers, colorimeters and radiometers has manufactured light meters for light hazard measurement and assessment since 1992. The early single sensor design of the hazard light meter was later replaced by dual or multi-cell detectors for improved measurement uncertainty (the spectral sensitivity function can be better tuned) and also for simpler operation. The latest design model X1-3light hazard meter conforms to the 2006/25/EG, DIN EN 62471 and EN 14255-1 measurement criteria for the evaluation of hazard exposure. Integral measurement technology vs. double monochromator The integral measurement technology is a supplemental or alternative measurement method to the double grating monochromator spectroradiometer the most accurate UV radiometric instrument for this application.
