ML-020S-I Lux Sensor:
Small sensor ML-020 series are all-weather type compact sensors which are developed for measuring solar radiation and artificial sun light in various wavelengths depending on the measurement purpose. Although these are small sensors, they use collector which is specially designed to improve the cosine response and increase the sensitivity; by the combinations of filter and photodiode for measurement purpose, 3 types of sensors are developed.
The ML-020S-I illuminance sensor is an outdoor, all-weather sensor with a customized detector sensitivity that is best suited for applications requiring low inside light levels or high outdoor light levels. The built-in interference filter replicates the CIE photopic curve in combination with the detector spectral response and provides a calibrated output in lux (lx).
The MS-4-20 mA converter makes it simple to convert the sensor’s low output voltage to a 4-20 mA current or greater voltage. The operational range of the mV/mA converter may be preprogrammed and optimized to work with common measuring tools.
The ML-020S-I is frequently used in professional applications for regulating or monitoring industrial processes along with the MS-020S-O Lux Sensor.
Main Features
1. Excellent Characteristics
By the combination of special filter and the sensor, the Small Sensor ML-020 Series have spectral response closer to the ideal spectral response. The temperature dependency is also within the range of 1% maximum.
2. Small and Light Weight
The sensors are very small in size and weight (φ22x33mm, 65g), which is convenient for carrying and suitable for taking measurements of irradiance and illumination distributions.
3. All-Weather Use
The sensors can be used in all weather conditions allowing taking continuous and stable measurements.
