Product Description
TS280 Series UV Radiometer Probes
provide measurement capability from 200nm (deep UV) to 480nm (blue) for the TS280 Series UV Radiometers. When used with the appropriate TS280 Series UV Radiometer, each interchangeable probe is capable of providing measurements of UV intensity, accumulated UV energy dose, temperature, uniformity, and real-time monitoring data across a wide range of UV and blue-light applications. Select the appropriate probe based on the wavelength from your lamp or LED source, including 222 nm far-UVC, 254 nm germicidal UVC, 275 nm UVC LED, UVB, UVA, UVA LED, full-spectrum UV, and 450 nm blue light.
For teams comparing a fixed single-band UV meter, a general-purpose radiometer, or an online monitoring instrument, the TS280 Series offers a flexible host-plus-probe approach that can support multiple test scenarios with one instrument platform and as many probes as required.

FAQs
Which TS280 models are compatible?
These probes each work with the full line of TS280 Series UV Radiometers.
Can a TS280 Series host work with more than one type of probe?
Yes. The TS280 Series is designed as a host-plus-probe system. The same host can be used with each different wavelength probe listed above. The instrument should be turned off before changing probes. We recommend users repeat the internal recalibration process after the new probe is installed.
How often should the TS280 Series be calibrated?
The recommended calibration cycle is one year to help maintain measurement accuracy and confidence in UV process checks.
What is the re-calibration process?
Each TS280 model has a built-in calibration function, so calibration can be completed directly on the device interface.
