Product Overview
Description of the ACCU-CAL™ 50 Radiometer
The ACCU-CAL™ 50 Radiometer is a microprocessor-based measurement instrument designed to measure
UVA radiation in the range of 320-390 nm.
The ACCU-CAL™ 50 uses two AA batteries.
Environmental Considerations
Optical measurement instruments are sensitive to extremes in environmental conditions like high
temperature, humidity, and contamination. Protect the device and its detector(s) from high humidity,
high temperature, direct sunlight, and contamination.
Do not use the ACCU-CAL™ 50 immediately after moving it from a cold to a warm environment. Under
certain circumstances, condensation could develop and may cause inaccurate measurement results.
Allow the device to adjust to room temperature before use.
Do not use the ACCU-CAL™ 50 in powerful magnetic, electromagnetic, and electrostatic fields. These
disturbances may influence measurement results.
