SeeedStudio Grove UV Sensor Module

The Grove UV Sensor is used for detecting the intensity of incident ultraviolet(UV) radiation. This form of electromagnetic radiation has shorter wavelengths than visible radiation. It is based on sensor GUVA-S12SD. It has a wide spectral range of 200nm-400nm. The module will output an electrical signal which is varied with the change of the UV intensity. UV sensors are used for determining exposure to ultraviolet radiation in the laboratory or environmental settings.

Features:

1. High stability
2. Good Sensitivity
3. Low power consumption
4. Schottky type photodiode sensor
5. Wide response range
6. Grove Interface
