Hoenle mobile UV-C measuring device SP
The Hoenle mobile UV-C measuring device SP offers a precise way of measuring the actual UV-C irradiance and irradiation dose in the field of UV disinfection of air, surfaces and water. Compared to similar solutions on the market, it impresses with its handy size, an easy-to-read display and its wide range of applications. It has both the measuring range of the SP200 and the safety-relevant functions of the SP SAFE. Similar applications can also be realized with the [Hoenle Multi UV-Guard], which is also suitable for extensive UV-C measurement tasks and offers additional protective functions.
Special features and functionality
The versatile SP200 and SP SAFE models support professional users in determining the correct irradiance values and documenting exposure levels to meet both hygiene and safety requirements. They can be used in laboratories, production facilities and as part of maintenance and service work when specific UV-C values need to be reliably determined.
- Handy dimensions (145×75×10 mm) enable easy transportation and flexible use.
- Large measuring range of the sensors: SP200 up to 200 mW/cm², SP SAFE up to 180 µW/cm².
- 5-inch display (16:9) for clear display and operation.
- Integrated lithium battery (2800 mAh) for up to eight hours of continuous operation.
- Sensor holder for measuring spotlights at a defined distance.
- Weight-optimized (140 g) and therefore mobile use.
- Smartphone-integrated software for automatic recording and screenshot function.
The measurement is fully automatic: a sensor records the UV-C radiation currently present, while the connected smartphone immediately displays the data and saves it if required. Safety goggles or other suitable protective clothing are always recommended, especially when using strong UV-C radiation sources.
In order to reliably determine the duration of exposure, the software saves both continuous measured values and snapshots at the touch of a button. Another advantage is that the measuring device can be used independently of each other: SP200 focuses primarily on pure irradiance, while SP SAFE is ideal for personal monitoring purposes in sensitive areas thanks to its lower sensor sensitivity. Both models are also supplied with a robust case and the necessary charger.
Certifications and standards
In professional work areas, it is important to comply with legal regulations and technical guidelines. The device is designed for UV-C low-pressure lamps and supports companies in complying with industry-specific occupational health and safety regulations. At the same time, the real-time display of relevant values enables seamless documentation.
Application examples
- Disinfection in food production facilities to keep systems and surfaces germ-free with UV-C radiation
.
- Regular maintenance of industrial UV-C systems in beverage production, where frequent radiation intensity checks are essential
- Monitoring of water treatment processes: Accurate measurements are required here to ensure that germs are killed in accordance with standards.
- Quality control in laboratories where UV-C lamps are used to disinfect devices, containers and surfaces.
In particular when treating typical microorganisms such as Escherichia coli or Legionella, optimum disinfection results can be achieved with precisely recorded UV-C values.
FAQs
How often should the sensors be calibrated?
Regular calibration, for example once a year or in accordance with company quality guidelines, ensures that the measurements remain correct and traceable.
What protective equipment is required for the measurement?
As UV-C radiation is dangerous to the skin and eyes, users should always wear suitable protective clothing and UV-C certified safety goggles.
Is data transfer via USB possible
Thanks to the D-USB output in the sensor, a connection can be established if required, for example to transfer data directly to other devices.
What needs to be considered for outdoor measurements
The UV sensor reacts to strong sunlight. Therefore, measurements should be taken without direct sunlight if possible in order to achieve accurate results.
Can the SP200 and SP SAFE be used at the same time?
Yes, both models are based on the same smartphone and the associated software. They can be used alternately or independently of each other for specific measurements.
Conclusion
This mobile measuring system has been developed for professionals who want to record reliable and precise UV-C irradiation values. It enables accurate documentation of irradiance and total dose, thus contributing to greater safety in the respective working environments. Thanks to its automated recording functions, robust design and user-friendly operation, it provides optimum support for maintenance, monitoring and quality control of UV-C applications.
