FAQ
-
1. The difference between 86120 and 86128 UV energy meters
86120 UV energy meter is mainly used to detect 365nm UV high pressure mercury lamp, while 86128 UV energy meter is mainly used to detect 365nm, 385nm, 395nm and 405nm UV LED light sources.
-
2. Whether a traceable calibration certificate is included?
86120 and 86136 are professional UV energy meters used to detect 365nm high-pressure mercury lamps, which can be ensured to pass the inspection of the Metrology Institute and obtain a calibration certificate (approved by CNAS and ilac-MRA). The cost of the calibration certificate is about US$200 ; 86128 and 86137 are UV energy meters that are professionally used to detect UV LED light sources. There is no unified inspection standard for LED light sources, each light source and UV energy meter manufacturer has their own calibration standards. We can provide the factory calibration reports for these two UV LED energy meters, but no calibration certificates can be provided.

3. How to calibrate UV energy meter, how often do I need to calibrate and how much does it cost?
To calibrate the UV energy meter, please send the instrument back to the manufacturer. Generally, it is recommended to calibrate it once a year. If the storage environment is good and the frequency of use is not high, the calibration period can also be extended according to user needs. The first calibration is free, and the cost of each subsequent calibration is US$32.
