Information about the device
Device description
The UV-Trackmaster generates UV-A light in the 365nm range.
Possible applications of the device are:
• checking for cracks or fissures using fluorescent testing
agents
• leak detection with fluorescent liquids
• localisation of UV active substances
In order to obtain a better fluorescence excitation, the UV-
Trackmaster is equipped with an integrated band-pass filter
which filters out the white light component yet provides
maximum UVtranslucency.
Moreover, the UV-Trackmaster comes with a torch function for a
better orientation in poorly lit surroundings.
