Product Description
The DFRobot Gravity: UV Index Sensor module SEN0636 is designed to measure ultraviolet radiation in the 240 to 370 nm wavelength range. It covers the UVA, UVB, and UVC bands, with a particular focus on UVB-related evaluation. This module is suitable for systems that monitor UV exposure, skin risk, or ambient radiation levels over time.
The module provides processed output data directly, including a UV index from 0 to 11 and a harm level from 1 to 5. This reduces the need for additional conversion or interpretation in the host controller. With both I2C and UART communication available, the sensor module can be integrated into a wide range of embedded controllers, measurement nodes, and monitoring platforms.
Technical Features
- UV measurement range: 240 to 370 nm
- Supported UV bands: UVA, UVB, and UVC
- Focus on UVB detection for UV index and skin risk assessment
- Direct UV index output from 0 to 11
- Direct harm level output from 1 to 5
- Communication interfaces: I2C and UART
- I2C address: 0x23
- Operating temperature range: -30 to 80 °C
- Dimensions: 30 × 22 mm
Application Areas
Typical applications include UV index meters, environmental monitoring systems, stationary or portable weather and radiation logging equipment, skin protection and health-related devices, and measurement systems for UV-based processes. Support for both I2C and UART allows integration into microcontroller projects, data loggers, laboratory setups, and industrial embedded systems. Direct output of UV index and harm level simplifies evaluation in applications with limited processing resources.
