The B+B brightness sensor is designed with a precise and long-term stable photodiode wich is characterized by great industrial performance. In addition each B+B brightness sensor undergoes a 3-point-calibration process within our inhouse ISO lab. This guarantees a high accuracy throughout the whole measuring range and enables an uttermost efficiency when the light sensor is integrated into your individual application.
Moreover this brightness sensor can be operated either with DC- or AC supply voltage. The brightness sensor with its analogue output signal (0-10V) can be connected to any commercial automation system.
Typical applications:
- Building automation
- Agricultural and horticultural facilities
- Bright/dark switching operations
- sun sensor
- brightness sensor for rain-protected weather stations
- brightness sensor for switching solar modules
- brightness sensor under strong sun radiation
1000 Lux = specifically calibrated for indoor applications
Did you know? B+B offers also a brighness sensor calibrated for 10.000 lux which is mainly used for light measurement indoors with specificly bright industrial light (SHOP 0555 3004) or a brightness sensor calibrated for 100.000 lux which is applicable especially for outdoor applications (SHOP 0555 3001).
