Handheld UV transmittance monitor

An LED light source reduces the maintenance burden and environmental impact, with an extended service life.

The ergonomic handheld unit is simple to operate with a single push button, and instant measurements can be read clearly on the backlit LED display. The UVT-LED-H verifies UV dosing and efficient operation of UV disinfection systems in municipal drinking water, wastewater, and other industrial water quality applications, such as food and beverage process water, as well as in quality testing labs associated with those applications.

The instrument’s highly efficient UV-C LED lamps are said to be more stable, improving accuracy when compared to instruments with traditional mercury light sources. Additional benefits include zero warm up time and low battery consumption, taking up to 350 readings on a single charge.

The mercury-free UV-C LED light source is said to extend sensor lifetime up to five times, compared to monitors using mercury lamps. It also significantly lowers operating expenses related to UVT monitoring by eliminating field serviceable parts and disposal of lamps containing environmentally-harmful mercury.
