Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type and range of this UV sensor module?

The module provides a linear analog voltage output ranging from 0V to 1V DC. This output voltage is directly proportional to the intensity of ultraviolet light detected within its 200-370nm spectral band, making it ready for connection to any microcontroller's ADC input pin.

Can I power this module with both 3.3V and 5V systems?

Yes, the module is designed for a wide operating voltage range of DC 3.3V to 5V. This ensures direct compatibility with 3.3V logic devices like ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, as well as standard 5V Arduino boards, without requiring an external level shifter.

How do I convert the sensor's analog output to a UV Index value?

Read the 0-1V output using your microcontroller's ADC. You will need to establish a calibration curve mapping the voltage reading to a known UV Index standard, often provided by the WHO. The module's datasheet or typical application notes should provide guidance on this scaling calculation.
