Calibrating OS UV Sensor, UVN800 with WMR 200

Hi…

  1. Solar and UV aren’t the same thing. Solar measures the amount of solar energy radiation
    and the UV sensor measures the UV spectrum of the sunlight…apples and oranges…

The both type of radiation have its maximum at noon (on a clear day) so the graphs looks similar.

  1. You cant calibrate the UVN800 sensor you can only tweak it so it will work better.

If you want to measure the solar radiation you must build a solar in a jar.
Look here for some hints: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/44441

WD calculate the solar energy based on the values you get from the UNV800 sensor. These calculations
are very raw ex 1 UVI is 100 W/m2 and that is not a correct value.
