For monitoring of global UV irradiance (total UV)
Overview
Kipp & Zonen's CUV5 is a general-purpose instrument for applications in meteorology, for material testing, for monitoring of lamps and for use in ageing tests in solar simulators. High quality dome and diffuser give optimised directional response; an optical filter provides sensitivity to combined UV-A and UV-B. The photodiode generates a voltage output linearly proportional to the UV intensity.
The CUV5 is not suitable for the measurement of specific parts of the UV spectrum such as UV-A, UV-B, UV-E / UV-Index. For measurement of these parameters we recommend our UVS Series.
The "-L" on a product model indicates that the cable length is specified at the time of order.

Detailed Description
Kipp & Zonen's CUV5 has a glass dome with extended UV transmission and a specially shaped diffuser to provide excellent directional response. The waterproof connector has gold-plated contacts and is fitted with 10 m of high quality signal cable as standard. The detection system includes optical filters and a photo- diode and CUV5 does not require power to operate. The CUV5 can be fitted with the CVF4 ventilation unit to further improve its performance.

Compatibility
Mounting
Kipp & Zonen's CUV5 has a bubble level and two leveling feet, which allow it to be leveled without using a leveling base. The 015 Mounting Arm can be used to mount the sensor to a mast or the CM225 Solar Sensor Mounting Stand can be used to attach the sensor to a mast, crossarm, or pole (1.0-in. to 2.1-in. outer diameter). The CM225 consists of rectangular plate, mounting bracket, U-bolts, lock washers, and nuts.
Alternatively, the CM245 Adjustable Angle Mounting Stand may be used. It includes slots that can be adjusted to any angle from horizontal to vertical. The L27084 can also be used to mount a pyranometer housed inside of the CVF4 heater/ventilator.
