Vitamin D3 Meter Solarmeter Model 6.4

Solarmeter® Model 6.4 Standard Vitamin D3 Meter

Handheld Digital UV Radiometer with Integral Sensor

Applications:
• Monitoring of Vitamin D Production In IU/min
• Monitoring UV Lamp Intensity and Aging
• Comparison Of Sources In Terms Of Vitamin D Production
• Measuring Solar Intensity In Terms Of Vitamin D Production

Sensor
Silicon Carbide (SiC) Photodiode packaged in hermetically sealed UV Glass window cap. Interference filter blocks most non-erythema (non-D3) irradiance from response as shown on Spectral Sensitivity Graph.

Meter Operation
To operate your Solarmeter, aim the sensor window located on the top panel of the meter directly at a UV source. Press and hold the push-button switch on the face of the meter. Reading represents IU/min D3 on 10% body surface.

Battery operation voltage is viable from 9V down to 6.5V. Below 6.5V, the numbers on the LCD display will begin to dim, indicating the need for battery replacement. Under typical service load, a standard 9V battery will last approximately 2 years.

Proper Usage of Solarmeter® D3 Radiometer

• Wear eye protection when checking UV lamps (Glasses that provide wrap around protection are ideal).
• Allow lamps to warm up prior to taking readings (at least 5 minutes).
• Keep track of exactly how long you are exposed to a UV source to properly calculate total vitamin D produced.

General

• Do not subject the meter to extremes in temperature, humidity, shock or dust. 
• Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the instrument. Keep sensor free of oil, dirt, etc.
