Radiometer & Thermometer Calibrations
The SOLAR EYE irradiance control system on board QUV and Q-SUN testers needs to be calibrated by the user periodically. This ensures accurate and consistent results. Either Q-Lab’s Universal Calibrator (UC) system or calibration radiometers (CR) and calibration thermometers (CT) can be used to calibrate any QUV or Q-SUN tester quickly and easily.
It’s critical that tester calibration devices themselves receive a yearly calibration or replacement. UC radiometers and thermometers (UC10, UC20, UC202) can simply be replaced annually at low cost. CR10 and CR20 radiometers, along with CT202 calibration thermometers, should be returned to Q-Lab once per year for an inexpensive recalibration. Although replacement is generally more convenient, UC sensors can be recailbrated as well. See LW-6008 - Recalibration Return Procedure. Radiometer and thermometer recalibrations are inexpensive and fast, and can be performed at any one of our convenient, global recalibration centers located in the United States, Europe, and China.
The black panel temperature sensors in the QUV tester and the temperature/relative humidity sensors in the Q-SUN family of testers are calibrated through off-the-shelf standard reference thermometers, or are designed to be replaced annually.
All other temperature sensors in the QUV tester and temperature/relative humidity sensors in the Q-SUN family of testers are calibrated through off-the-shelf standard reference thermometers, or are designed to be replaced annually
