- Lens - UV Glass
- Diffuser - Virgin Teflon .003 SensorSilicon Carbide (SIC) Photodiode packaged in hermetically sealed UV glass window cap. Interference filter coating (Metal Oxide) blocks most UVA from response as shown on Spectral Sensitivity Graph.OperationPress and hold push-button switch on face of unit. Aim sensor window in top panel of meter directly at UV source. Note reading on LCD and record if desired. For reptile lamps also check at basking position.Battery operation voltage is 9V down to 6.5V. Below 6.5V the LCD numbers will begin to dim, indicating the need for battery replacement. Under typical service load, the battery should last about 2 years.Proper Usage of Solarmeter Ultraviolet Radiometer for Lamp Aging Tests
- Wear eye protection when checking UV lamps (UV-block wrap around glasses).
- Allow lamps to warm-up prior to taking readings (at least 5 min).
- When checking aging of lamps, keep measuring distance and locations constant.
- Lamps should be replaced when output drops 30% to about 70% of their original (new) readings. Take overall reading at exposure distance, or check individual lamps close to surface. Keep track of hours vs. readings on a chart.
- If unsure of what original new values were, replace lamp(s) with new ones of the same kind and compare to old ones.
- To determine percent UVB divide Model 6.2 reading by Model 5.7 total UV (UVA + B) reading. (See FAQ page).
- When checking UVT acrylic transmission, take reading through acrylic; then remove acrylic and hold meter sensor at approximately the same distance from lamp as the acrylic shield was located. If acrylic blocks much UVB it should be replaced.
- When using this meter to compare different type lamps, due to their different spectral power distributions, the readings should be considered relative rather than absolute. Although higher output lamps of similar SPD's will generally read higher than lower output lamps, ones that peak near 290-300 nm (as does the meter response) will read higher than ones peaking near 313 nm even if the total UVB output of both is the same.
- Do not subject the meter to extremes in temperature, humidity, shock or dust.
- Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the intrument. Keep sensor free of oil, dirt, etc.

Reassuring to use an operator with tracked named-day delivery, exactly what you want when dealing with glass aquariums. Great range, great prices.

24hr delivery of a pallet, for a complete marine aquarium. And two days before Christmas. No picking errors, best pricing and then great service with hour slot from UPN Pallet Network. Impressive!
Steve Lesson
Super happy with the tank, no issues whatsoever. The delivery was super fast too. (On the day of the delivery the delivery driver was absolutely amazing btw) Honestly cannot recommend enough 👌

Nice searchable website, plenty of stock, reasonably priced next day delivery, well packaged. Slightly more detail would have been nice as I bought 32mm thinking that was the external diameter but I suspect most people buying these items would know that. :)

This was actually my first time ordering something from them wasn’t sure on how long I would get it said two days, but literally I ordered it and it came the next day. Packaging was amazing. Didn’t even pay next day delivery and I got the next day If you’re reading my review, give them a try. They don’t disappoint.

Such a great service. Bought a fish tank Ciano emotions 150 Pro and it's arrived very well packed just 2 days after purchase. After 2 weeks i had an issue with light power supply which has been replaced straight away after I reported that to customer service. They look afyer customers and always replied very quickly if you have any problem. Strongly recommended!!!

Received my tank on Friday the 13th absolutely perfect driver was really really good dropped it right outside my little doorstep because it was on the path. Very very pleased with my purchase tank is looking absolutely fantastic. Will definitely use you again absolutely brilliant thank you.

Just received another delivery from Charterhouse aquatics, this time salt and frozen food: best price, all info I needed and free delivery that is quick and quality. Keep up the good work. And I love the reward scheme too!
