Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the UVM-30A sensor module?

The UVM-30A module is designed to operate from a standard 3.3V to 5V DC supply, making it directly compatible with most microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi without requiring a level shifter. Ensure your power source is clean and regulated for optimal sensor accuracy.

How do I interface the UVM-30A module with an Arduino?

Connect the module's VCC pin to Arduino's 5V, GND to GND, and the analog output (OUT) pin to any Arduino analog input (e.g., A0). The sensor outputs a voltage proportional to UV intensity. Use the provided formula in the datasheet or example code to convert this analog reading into a UV Index value.

What does the detection range of 200-370nm mean?

This range indicates the sensor is sensitive to ultraviolet light wavelengths between 200 nanometers (nm) and 370nm, covering portions of the UV-B and most of the UV-A spectrum. It is specifically calibrated to measure ambient ultraviolet radiation relevant for calculating the standard UV Index used in environmental and health monitoring.

Can this sensor be used outdoors permanently?

Yes, the UVM-30A's wide operating temperature range of -20℃ to 85℃ and its solid-state design make it suitable for permanent outdoor installation. For long-term deployment, it is recommended to house the module in a weatherproof enclosure that allows UV light to reach the sensor while protecting the electronics from direct rain and condensation.
