Safety Notes
CAUTION
●At least one minute should be allowed between two consecutive measurements.
If the UIT-θ series is not fully cooled, the subsequent measurement may be disabled.
●The photodetector contains optical components. Keep and use it at the appropriate temperature
and humidity.In particular, the optical lter performs best in an environment of the specied
temperature and humidity. Outside this environment, the lter cannot perform optimally and
may deteriorate. Always use a desiccator or similar to keep the photodetector at the specied
temperature and humidity.
●Immediately after using the UIT-θ series, keep it in its storage case and then in a desiccator or
similar to keep the UIT-θ series at the specied temperature and humidity.
●The optical components of the photodetector may swiftly deteriorate when stored in a high-
humidity environment (70% RH or more). In such cases, they should be calibrated more
frequently than the USHIO calibration cycle (every 6 months).
●High-intensity UV light will accelerate the deterioration of the optical components in the
photodetector, whereupon the deteriorated photodetector may show lower irradiance values
than expected.
●When connecting and removing the USB cable, do so carefully; do not jam the connector or yank
the cord.
●Never expose the UIT-θ series body to any shock or impact, since this may damage the
components and cause the unit to malfunction.
●Contamination and dirt on the photodetector will cause measurement errors.
Be sure to check the photodetector for contamination and dirt before starting the measurement.
If any are present, wipe them o with dry clean gauze.
●The UIT-θ series houses a temperature sensor to protect the internal electronic circuit.
When used in a hot environment at a temperature exceeding the permissible operating range,
the UIT-θ series will overheat and cease operation with "TEMP Error." Shut down power to the
UIT-θ series and allow to naturally cool to reset the error.
●The sensitivity of the photodetector is calibrated by monochromatic and parallel light.
When measuring the irradiance of monochromatic and parallel light, photodetectors of the same
type show the same irradiance value to within ±5% or less.
To measure the irradiance of light of a certain wavelength distribution, see "Specications"
(Spectroscopic sensitivity characteristics of the photodetector) of these Operating Manuals.
This Spectroscopic sensitivity characteristics is a central value. When measuring the irradiance of
a general light source of a certain wavelength distribution, photodetectors of the same type may
show dierent irradiance values due to the Spectroscopic sensitivity characteristics.
●Use alcohol to wipe the UIT-θ series body clean. Do not apply alcohol to the photodetector,
target marks, and their vicinity. Be very careful not to let alcohol inltrate the UIT-θ series body
through the holes of the photodetector, the rear of its body, and the USB connector hole.
The ingress of alcohol within the UIT-θ series body will cause it to deteriorate and damage its
optical element and internal circuit.Never use organic solvents such as thinner and acetone since
they will damage the external surfaces, optical element, and internal circuit of the UIT-θ series.
●The equipment shown in this catalog, any products using the equipment or technologies related
to the equipment fall under the category of security control related to freight or technologies
under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law. You must obtain
permission from the Government of Japan before exporting them from Japan.

Precautions Concerning Handling of Coin Type Lithium Rechargeable Battery (CLB)
When used improperly, the CLB may be deformed, leak its liquid content (from inside the CLB body),
give o heat, explode, or catch re since it contains combustible substances such as organic solvents,
which may cause personal injuries and apparatus failures. Be sure to observe the warnings and
precautions below. USHIO is not liable for CLB damage caused by other uses not described here.
WARNING
●Do not dip the CLB in liquid such as water or sea water. Do not wet the CLB with liquid, since this
may cause it to short-circuit, give o heat, or break down.
●The CLB has xed polarities (plus and minus). If the CLB is not tted to its charger or apparatus,
do not try to mount it forcibly. Check whether the polarity is reversed. If so, the CLB is reversely
charged and an abnormal chemical reaction takes place in the CLB, which means the CLB will be
deformed, leak liquid, give o heat, explode, or catch re.
●Do not throw the CLB into a re. If this is done, the CLB will leak combustible electrolyte,
explode, or catch re.
●Do not heat up the CLB. Heat will increase its internal pressure, causing it to leak liquid, explode,
give o heat, or catch re.
●Never reverse the polarity of the CLB. If this is done, the CLB may be charged reversely, which
may cause an abnormal chemical reaction inside the CLB or unexpected discharging over-
current, which means the CLB will be deformed, leak liquid, give o heat, explode, or catch re.
●Do not connect the (+) and (-) polarities of the CLB with a metallic wire or similar or carry or store
the CLB together with a metallic necklace or hairpins. These metallic items may short-circuit the
CLB and cause excessive current to ow, which means the CLB will give o heat, explode,
or catch re, or the metallic wire, necklace, or hairpin will give o great heat.
●Do not expose the CLB to any excessive shock or impact. Do not throw or roughly handle the
CLB, which may cause it to short circuit.
Consequently, the CLB will be deformed, leak liquid, give o heat, explode, or catch re.
●Never nail, hammer, or stamp the CLB. The CLB will break, deformed, give o heat, explode, or
catch re.
●Never disassemble or modify the CLB. Its insulator may be damaged and the CLB will give o
heat, explode, or catch re.
●Recharge the CLB at least once every six months, even when it will not be used for an extended
period. If it is not recharged, the battery performance and service life will decline due
to abnormal internal chemical reactions caused by excessive discharging.
Consequently, the CLB will be deformed, leak liquid, give o heat, or catch re.
●Charge the CLB under the USHIO specied charging conditions. If charged under other
conditions (higher temperature, higher voltage, greater current than specied, or by a modied
charger), the CLB will be deformed, give o heat, explode, or catch re.
●Do not use, keep, or leave the CLB near re, a stove, in vehicle parking under the sun, or in direct
sunlight that may increase the temperature of the CLB, When the CLB becomes very hot, its
components will be damaged and form an internal short-circuit, which means the CLB will give
o heat, explode, or catch re.

Others
●Never ingest the CLB and always keep out of reach of infants.
If a child swallow the CLB, he/she will need to go to a doctor or emergency department.
●Never put the CLB in a microwave oven or high-pressure container. If this is done, the CLB will
quickly heat up and the airtightness will be lost, which means the CLB will give o heat, explode,
or catch re.
●If you nd the CLB smoking, hot, discolored, deformed, or faulty while in use, charged, or in stock,
you must immediately remove it from the device or charger and discard it adequately. If the CLB
is used in such a state, it will give o heat, explode, or catch re.
●When nding the CLB oozing liquid or sensing a parching smell, you must immediately keep it
away from re. The leaking CLB content (electrolyte) will easily catch re and the CLB will explode.
●If a substance leaking from the CLB gets into your eye(s), ush with a strong steady stream of
clean water under a faucet immediately WITHOUT rubbing your eyes then see an eye doctor for
treatment. Chemical substances in your eyes will injure them and in the worst cases, may blind
you.
●Stop charging the CLB if charging is not completed within a specied period, otherwise the CLB
may give o heat, explode, or catch re.
●Do not use, keep, or leave the CLB near re, near a stove, in a vehicle under the sun, or in direct
sunlight that may increase the temperature of the CLB. When the CLB becomes very hot, its
separator will be damaged and form an internal short-circuit, which means the CLB will give o
heat, explode, or catch re.

①The logging measurement mode is set when the USB power supply of your PC, to which the UIT-θ
is connected, is shut o (or when the power cable is disconnected).
②UIT-θ starts logging when the irradiance exceeds the internal threshold value and satises the set time
(p.27 “Time”).
③In logging mode, irradiance is measured at the set sampling rate, and the data is saved in memory.
④The sampling rate can be selected from 512Hz, 100Hz, 32Hz and 10Hz.
⑤When the measured irradiance goes below the threshold value in the logging measurement, the UIT-θ
stops the logging measurement and returns to the logging standby mode.
⑥When no light is incident in logging mode (irradiance below the internal threshold) and the set time
(p.27 “Time”) is met, logging mode ends and the unit enters logging standby mode. If the logging
standby mode continues for the set time (p.27 “O time”), it enters sleep mode (see “3.2 Sleep mode”
on page 17).
⑦The UIT-θ can store data of up to 64 regular measurement cycles (between the start and end of
logging).
(Data of fewer cycles may be stored if the measurement data of each cycle is greater.)
The maximum recording time per measurement cycle is 20 minutes at the 100-Hz sampling rate,
assuming that the data recording area is not used for the purpose (except for measurement).
Data cannot be recorded in the UIT-θ under the conditions below.
• Data of 64 measurement cycles are already recorded.
• The entire data storage area to the end is occupied by the logging data.
• The UIT-θ is unable to measure because of the battery becoming exhausted.
• The UIT-θ is out of order. (For details on errors, refer to p.28 "Troubleshooting".)
"Logging measurements" are performed solely by the UIT-θ. While performing the irradiance
measurement, the UIT-θ records its data in memory (FRAM) at the same time.

4 Real-time Measurement
①
Connect UIT-θ and a personal computer with a USB cable.
②
Click the [Connect] button on the BladeNavi main window. The UIT-θ starts to communicate with the
personal computer.
③
Click the START button on the “BladeNavi” main screen to start measurement.
During the measurement, the irradiance value, peak irradiance value, and integrated light intensity
value cells turn green and the values are updated.Irradiance values are plotted in time series in
the graph window.
(Clicking the [CLR] button for Peak Irrad and Accum Irrad will reset the previous value.)
In real-time mode, the sampling rate is xed at 32Hz and the maximum monitoring time is 20 minutes.
※In real-time mode, the irradiance value (Irrad.) And peak irradiance value (Peak irrad.) Are updated
and plotted every 0.5 seconds. The cumulative irradiance (Accume Irrad.) Is updated and plotted

5 Saved Data (CSV) Output
After measurement, you can import data using the following procedure.
5.1 For Logging Measurement
①
Activate the BladeNavi software.
②
Connect UIT-θ and personal computer with USB cable.
③
Click the [Connect] button on the BladeNavi main window. The UIT-θ starts to communicate with the
personal computer.
④
Choose [File] --> [Logging Data Capture.] You can transfer the recorded irradiance data from the UIT-θ
to the personal computer.Data is transferred by each measurement cycle (between the start and end
of logging). (Hereinafter, the group of this data set is called a data group.)
For example, ten data groups are captured in logging, ten data transfers are made.
⑤
At the end of data capturing, the data is graphically displayed. Select X- and Y-scales to adjust the
graph area.On the graph, data values in each group are displayed together. The measurement interval
between data groups is omitted when plotted on the graph.
⑥
Choose [File] --> [Save]. You can save the captured data in CSV format.
※CSV-format data can be processed by others.
⑦
The rst line contains “Data size” and “Sampling rate (0: 100 Hz, 1: 32 Hz, 2: 10 Hz, 3: 512 Hz)” and
“Measurement range setting (0: H, 1: M , 2: L) is displayed.
From the second, "irradiance", "temperature", "irradiance" ... "irradiance" (4 or 10 irradiance data per line)
is recorded.

5.2 For Real-time Measurement
①
When the real-time mode ends, the measurement results are saved in CSV format in the folder
specied on the “Setting Window”.
Click the [STOP] button to finish. The file is not saved if the measurement is completed by other
than the [STOP] button, such as by disconnecting the USB.
The le name is the time stamp at the start of measurement. (According to the clock of the personal
computer used)
File name: Year, month, day, hour, minute, second (in the case of January 2, 2019, 3:45:56,
“20190102034556”)
※App version v.2.01 or later. (Notation may vary depending on the version.)
②The data consists of “irradiance value”, “peak irradiance value”, “integrated irradiance value”, and
“time stamp”. (Separated by commas)
