Working Principle

Description

The Grove – UV Sensor detects the intensity of incident ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light. It operates based on the GUVA-S12SD sensor and outputs an electrical signal that varies with the UV intensity.

Sensor Types

GUVA-S12SD

Dos And Donts

Donts
