Light-detection environmental sensors for laboratories, factory floors, manufacturing introduced by L-Com

May 4, 2023
Light sensors measure either ambient light or UV light, and the wall-mount ambient light models measure light intensity to 65,000 Lux or 200,000 Lux.

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – L-com Inc. in North Andover, Mass., is introducing internet of things (IoT) light-detection environmental sensors that gauge either ambient or ultraviolet light.

The sensors assist in IoT data collection to streamline process control lower building and process costs. Applications for the light-detection sensors include environmental monitoring, laboratories, factory floors, manufacturing, solar farms, agriculture, and greenhouses.

L-com's light sensors measure either ambient light or UV light. The wall-mount ambient light models measure light intensity either to 65,000 Lux or 200,000 Lux. They have a waterproof housing and are well suited for outdoors as well as demanding indoor environments such as factory floors.

The UV light model mounts to a DIN rail or a panel and is useful with UV testers, UV index meters, germicidal lamps, flame detection, UV monitoring equipment and other applications.

It is sensitive to UV light in the wavelengths of 200 nanometers to 370 nanometers. It has a 4-20 milliamps output and screw-type terminals for easy field termination.

The 3-in-1 environmental integrated transmitter measures illuminance as well as temperature and humidity for outdoors and for demanding indoor environments such as solar farms and industrial automation. The IoT light-detection environmental sensors are contained in a weatherproof, wall-mount housing, and its output is via the popular Modbus protocol.
