Cautions about using the Illuminance UV Sensors
When using the Illuminance UV Sensor ISA-3151, please take note of
the following:
Do not connect the ISA-3151 sensor to any data logger other
than the TR-74Ui.
Use the sensor within the operating environment specifi cations.
When measuring ultraviolet light or other light which may
cause damage or injury to your eyes or skin make sure to use
protection such as safety glasses or some type of light-proof
shield.
Do not expose the sensor to a strong impact.
Cracks or scratches in the Illuminance sensor and/or in the UV sensor will
adversely affect the measurement accuracy. Also, a broken sensor may result in
injury.
This sensor is not waterproof. By all means do not allow it to
get wet.
Do not use in any environment that is exposed to corrosive gas
and organic solvents. Also, do not use in areas near fi re or
exposed to excessive heat.
When the Illuminance UV sensor is not being used, please
store it in a place with a normal temperature and without
condensation.
If the sensor surface gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth.
If the sensor surface accumulates impurities (dirt), it will cause a decrease in
the sensor’s accuracy and sensitivity.
If you wish to extend the length of the sensor cable, please
purchase our optional sensor extension cable separately.
Do not cut or process the sensor cables.
"Adjustment Settings" made in the supplied software are saved
to the sensor. Therefore, when a sensor is replaced, it is
necessary to re-make any desired adjustment settings before
using the new sensor.
