New Lux and UV Radiologgers Can't Be Detected
Hanwell Instruments, well known throughout the conservation and heritage industry for its innovative data acquisition solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of a new series of UV and Lux radiologgers. These new Flat Panel Monitors, which measure the levels of Lux and UV content of light have two unique features. Firstly, they use radio telemetry sensors, so don't require expensive and unsightly wiring and secondly, they have been designed in a wall mounted flat panel so are as unobtrusive as possible. For further versatility, the monitors are designed to incorporate the picture information label. This is ideal for museums, galleries and any building where valuable artworks are being displayed.
It is widely recognised that light is one of the major causes of damage to artwork, particularly the ultraviolet (UV) content. It is therefore important that all light levels are carefully monitored. However, until now most light monitors on the market have been unsightly and spoilt the ambiance of many galleries and museums. Now, thanks to the innovative design of these new Hanwell monitors, the conservator is provided with all the necessary information required to protect their exhibits, without compromising the character of their environment.
The Hanwell Lux.UV radio telemetry sensors measure Lux in the range of 10 to 2000 Lux and UV from 10 to 1000 µW/Lumen. The sensor is calibrated against a reference light source and this information is entered via the PC software. Using proven Hanwell radio technology, online measurements can be taken of the proportion of UV present, the total amount of UV and the amount of visible light (Lux). The radio sensors can be interfaced to the Building Management System (BMS) or stand alone control is also available.
