UV500i
Full spectrum precision
for advanced UV applications
A new era of ultraviolet intelligence
Ultraviolet light has become one of the most powerful and rapidly evolving technologies across modern industries. From disinfection and sterilization to curing, material testing and environmental monitoring, the performance of UV systems directly determines safety, efficiency and reliability. Yet accurate measurement of ultraviolet radiation remains one of the most complex challenges in optical engineering. This is exactly why the UV500i was developed.
The UV500i is not simply an extension of a conventional spectrometer. It introduces a new level of precision and accessibility for professionals who work with ultraviolet light in critical applications. Designed for engineers, researchers, manufacturers and regulatory specialists, it transforms complex spectral and temporal information into clear, actionable insight. At the core of the instrument is a clustered architecture of multiple high-precision CCD sensors, working together to deliver exceptional sensitivity and stability across the entire measurement range. What once required multiple instruments, specialized expertise and time-intensive analysis is now available in one compact and reliable platform.
Making ultraviolet science accessible
Every measurement performed by the UV500i is captured through this advanced multi-sensor CCD architecture with an extended wavelength detection range from 220 to 800 nanometers. This unique bandwidth enables full analysis of UVC, UVB and UVA radiation, while also capturing the visible spectrum in a single measurement. The result is a complete understanding of light behavior, allowing users to evaluate not only ultraviolet output but also the interaction between UV and visible wavelengths.
The instrument continuously optimizes stability through automatic shutter control and dark calibration. This eliminates drift and environmental influence, which are especially critical in ultraviolet measurement. The UV500i delivers reproducible and scientifically reliable data whether used in controlled laboratory environments, industrial production lines or field installations.
Engineered for professionals in critical environments
Traditional UV measurement systems are often complex, fragile or limited to narrow spectral ranges. The UV500i takes a different approach. It combines scientific accuracy with an intuitive and robust design that supports daily professional use. Its clean interface presents clear spectral graphs and numerical data, enabling fast and confident decision-making in environments where precision is essential.
Users can choose between Standard Mode for fast operational measurements and Scientific Mode for deeper analytical work. This flexibility allows the UV500i to serve equally well in industrial validation, regulatory testing, research and system development. The detachable and remotely controlled sensor architecture also enables safe measurements in hazardous or confined UV environments, reducing exposure and improving workflow efficiency.

This ensures continuity, minimizes downtime and protects the investment in critical measurement environments. Users benefit from direct access to technical specialists who understand both the technology and the application. Fast, knowledgeable support ensures that the instrument continues to deliver value throughout its lifecycle.PG500i BECAUSE PRECISION IN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT DEFINES PERFORMANCE.
With the UV500i, complex ultraviolet environments become measurable, understandable and controllable. It is the essential instrument for professionals who aim to design safer systems, validate performance and lead innovation in the rapidly advancing world of UV technology.
THE POWER OF FREEDOM:
A remotely operated
detachable sensor head.
A BREAKTHROUGH IN OPTICAL MEASUREMENT
One of the most defining innovations within the UV500i ecosystem is the detachable sensor head, a breakthrough that fundamentally reshapes how professionals measure light. Instead of maneuvering an entire handheld instrument into place, users can position the sensor independently and operate it completely from the base platform. This creates a new level of freedom, precision and control that sets the UV500i apart from traditional spectrometers. What may appear as a convenience feature is, in practice, a transformative leap in workflow efficiency, measurement accuracy and user safety.
TRUE STAND ALONE FUNCTIONALITY
The sensor head is engineered as a fully capable stand alone unit. It can operate either wired or wireless depending on the user’s environment and needs. In a wired configuration, the USB C connection provides stable power and continuous data transfer. In wireless mode, Bluetooth communication enables precise measurements from a distance without any physical interaction. Regardless of how it is connected, the sensor maintains the same level of scientific reliability. It can be placed inside luminaires, within multi layer growing systems or directly at canopy height without moving the main device.
WIRELESS CONTROL FROM THE BASE PLATFORM
A defining advantage of the UV500i is that the detachable sensor head remains fully controllable from the base instrument. Users can initiate measurements, adjust settings and monitor real time data remotely. This capability allows readings in locations that are difficult, time consuming or unsafe to access. The UV500i becomes the central command platform, while the sensor acts as a precision satellite collecting data exactly where it matters most.
CONNECTIVITY BUILT FOR PROSESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS
The detachable sensor head is equipped with a complete suite of modern communication options. Bluetooth supports wireless and mobile operation. USB C provides high speed data transfer and continuous power delivery. MODBUS RS485 makes integration with PLC systems and automated environments effortless. This range of connectivity positions the UV500i perfectly for scientific research, horticultural operations, quality control workflows and industrial monitoring.
OPTIMIZED FOR REAL WORLD MEASUREMENT SCENARIOS
To enhance its practical use, the detachable sensor head can be mounted on the included aluminum tripod for stable, fixed position measurements. For extended reach or overhead applications, the sensor can be positioned on the extended measuring stick with its dedicated bracket. This allows users to capture readings above cultivation tables, deep inside lighting structures or across vertical rack systems with minimal effort.
When long duration measurements are required, the sensor head can be powered directly by the included powerbank, ensuring extended operation during prolonged research sessions, continuous monitoring or fieldwork away from fixed power sources. These accessories transform the sensor head into an adaptable, professional grade measurement tool capable of meeting any environmental challenge, from greenhouse aisles to laboratory setups and elevated lighting structures.
“This isn’t simply
a feature.
It’s the future of light
measurement.“
ACCESSING THE INACCESSIBLE
By separating the sensor from the main instrument, entirely new measurement possibilities emerge. Heights, confined spaces, delicate crop zones or heavily illuminated fixtures can be assessed safely and easily. The sensor goes directly to the light source while the user remains comfortably positioned at the base platform. This approach not only improves measurement accuracy but also significantly enhances safety, ergonomics and workflow efficiency.
