Hobby Boards’ Handheld UV Index Meter allows you to monitor this important environmental element without requiring a connection to your 1-Wire network. Take this handy device with you to the beach, the soccer field, or whenever you are out in the sun – and keep tabs on how much UV exposure you’re really getting!

This device detects and measures UV radiation in both the UVA and UVB spectrum, with peak detection at a wavelength of approximately 365 nm. It will detect both direct and reflected UV, and the product manual will help you locate your device in order to maximize the accuracy of its reading. The device reports results as a UV Index (standard scale 1-12) shown on the on-board LED display.

The Hobby Boards Handheld UVI Index Meter ships with a CR2032 battery.
