About Vitamin D UV Meter
VITAMIN D UV METER
Proper usage of Solarmeter Vitamin D3 IU per Minute International Units (IU) of natural vitamin D3 (converted from 7-DHC) per minute of ultraviolet B exposure instructions:
This instrument is designed for both outdoor solar measurement and indoor UVR appliance measurement. The sensor/detector response follows the Diffey Erythemal Action Spectrum (EAS) effective irradiance (Eeff), and thus remains accurate for various spectral power distributions. Eeff is used here as a proxy for Vitamin D action spectrum weighted irradiance (Deff), which is very similar but cuts off at 330 nm. Spectral radiometer tests have shown Eeff and Deff to be virtually linearly proportional outdoors ± ~4 hours from solar noon, and indoors for most commonly used UVR lamps.
Precision UVB Measurement for Vitamin D HealthUtilizing a dedicated UVB photodiode sensor, the Vitamin D UV Meter provides accurate, real-time readings directly linked to natural Vitamin D production. With a resolution of 1 W/cm and 5% accuracy, the device helps individuals manage their UV exposure efficiently, ensuring adequate sunlight without the risks of overexposure.
Designed for Everyday Convenience and SafetyWeighing just 150g with its battery, this portable meter fits comfortably in your hand or pocket. Its robust design withstands storage temperatures from -10C to +50C and functions optimally between 0C and 50C, making it suitable for a variety of climates and conditions across India.
Simple Operation with Lasting PerformanceThe meter features hassle-free, single-channel operation and a standalone digital LCD display, delivering instant results with every use. Powered by a single 9V battery, the device offers up to 1000 measurements, highlighting its efficiency and cost-effectiveness for routine usage.
FAQs of Vitamin D UV Meter:
Q: How does the Vitamin D UV Meter measure UV exposure for Vitamin D synthesis?
A: The device utilizes a UVB photodiode sensor to measure the UVB intensity in the 280320 nm wavelength range. This range is directly linked to the amount of UVB radiation required for Vitamin D production in the body, helping you understand your exposure levels accurately.
Q: What is the process for using the Vitamin D UV Meter?
A: Simply power on the device with the 9V battery installed, point the sensor towards the UV source (usually sunlight), and read the real-time UVB intensity displayed on the digital LCD. Measurements are delivered in less than a second, allowing for immediate insight.
Q: When should I use this UV meter for optimal results?
A: For effective Vitamin D synthesis, use the meter during peak sun hourstypically between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.when UVB radiation is strongest. This will help you monitor and adjust your exposure for healthy Vitamin D production.
Q: Where can the Vitamin D UV Meter be used?
A: The meter is designed for personal use and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where you need to measure UVB exposure, including home, office terraces, parks, or any other locations exposed to sunlight in India.
Q: What are the benefits of regularly monitoring UV exposure with this device?
A: Regular use of the meter assists you in balancing sun exposure, enabling sufficient Vitamin D synthesis while reducing the risk of UV overexposure, which can lead to skin damage. It empowers personal health management based on accurate UVB data.
Q: How long does the battery last and what is its power consumption?
A: The Vitamin D UV Meter operates on a single 9V battery, supporting up to 1000 measurements thanks to its low power consumption, making it reliable for regular and prolonged use.
Q: What accuracy and resolution does the meter offer for UV measurements?
A: The meter ensures high-precision results with an accuracy of 5% and a resolution of 1 W/cm, providing detailed and trustworthy data for personal health decisions.
