Features of the UVX Series Luminescence Sensors
- The unique numerical display on the UVX series lets you see the intensity of each reading. Now it’s easy to refine processes and hysteresis.
- It features 3 to 6 times the range of any competing luminescence sensor. The UVX luminescence sensor won’t get bumped or dirtied by target.
- The UVX series is the only luminescence detector with both auto-teach and manual calibration. Easy for low-skill operators, but able to be finely tuned.
- It also features adjustable UV light projection and high resolution allow pin-head size detection.
- Our UVX series luminescence sensor allows for fast and convenient integration. In one luminescence detector, you get both analog and discrete output, auto-detect for PNP/NPN.
- The UVX series is the smallest and fastest luminescence sensor on the market.

Notes:
1. The operating range is affected by the level of luminescence in the target material
2. UVX-300L50 accessory lens focuses the light spot to 2mm dia. at 30mm sensor-to-target distance. It cannot be used with the UVX-50-T, UVX-300G-REM, and UVX-600G-C.
