UVC Photodetector TOCON_C7UVC
Precision UVC Monitoring Sensor for Germicidal Irradiation, Disinfection Control, and UV-C Process Validation Systems
The TOCON_C7UVC from SGLUX GmbH is a high-performance UVC photodetector designed for precision measurement and control of germicidal ultraviolet radiation (UV-C, 220–280 nm). It integrates a silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode with a low-noise transimpedance amplifier, providing a linear 0–5 V DC output directly proportional to incident UVC irradiance. The TOCON_C7UVC is factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST/PTB standards, ensuring absolute reliability and repeatability for process validation and monitoring.
With excellent visible and infrared blindness, it ensures uncompromised spectral selectivity for germicidal and sterilisation applications. Housed in a rugged anodised aluminium enclosure, it withstands harsh industrial environments and continuous high-intensity exposure. Ideal for UV disinfection systems, UVGI validation, environmental monitoring, and sterilisation equipment, this plug-and-play sensor provides unmatched accuracy, stability, and traceability for UVC metrology.
Understanding UVC Photodetector TOCON_C7UVC
The TOCON_C7UVC combines a solar-blind SiC photodiode with an integrated low-noise amplifier to ensure precise detection of UVC radiation without interference from visible or infrared light. It produces a linear 0–5 V output, simplifying integration with controllers, data acquisition systems, or SGLUX SENSOR MONITOR 5.0. Operating in the 220–280 nm range, the sensor exhibits high stability, fast response (<1 s), and excellent resistance to photodegradation. Its traceable calibration guarantees consistent results for industrial sterilisation, air and surface disinfection monitoring, and germicidal lamp verification.
