QUV Thermometer Calibration
The QUV black panel temperature sensor needs to be calibrated periodically by the user to assure accurate and consistent results.  Calibrating the QUV black panel temperature sensor is simply performed with any standard reference thermometer.

Q-SUN Thermometer Calibration
All Q-SUN black panel temperature sensors need to be calibrated periodically by the user to assure accurate and consistent results.  Calibrating the black panel temperature sensor is simple using a CT202 thermometer, and takes only a few minutes.  Note that the CT202 thermometer comes with either an uninsulated black panel or insulated black panel sensor, and must match the type of sensor actually used in the Q-SUN tester.

The CT202 thermometer needs to be returned to Q-Lab once per year for an inexpensive recalibration.  Our calibration labs in the USA and UK are ISO 17025 accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) or UKAS.  Calibrations are traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). See LW-6008 - Recalibration Return Procedure.

In the Q-SUN Xe-1, the tester can have an optional chamber air temperature sensor (included for a model Xe-1 with chiller).  Calibrating the Xe-1 chamber air temperature sensor is simply performed with any standard reference thermometer.

In both the Q-SUN Xe-2 and Xe-3 models, the low-cost, combination relative humidity/chamber air temperature sensor was thoughtfully designed to be disposable.  It should be replaced once a year and cannot be recalibrated.

• X-7778-X               Q-SUN Xe-1/Xe-3 Insulated Black Panel Temperature Sensor (replace as necessary)

• CT-202/RECAL     Recalibration of CT-202 Thermometer (recommended annually)

QUV Radiometer Calibration
For all models except QUV/basic, the QUV SOLAR EYE irradiance sensor needs to be calibrated periodically by the user.  This will assure accurate and consistent results.  Calibrating the QUV tester is simple using the AUTOCAL system and a CR10 calibration radiometer, and takes only a few minutes.  The CR10 calibration radiometer is equipped to calibrate a QUV tester with either UV-A or UV-B lamps.  For the QUV/cw (cool white), a CR10/cw calibration radiometer must be used.

The CR-10 calibration radiometer needs to be returned to Q-Lab once per year for an inexpensive recalibration. See LW-6008 - Recalibration Return Procedure. Our calibration labs in the USA and UK are ISO 17025 accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) or UKAS.  Calibrations are traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

• CR-10/cw           QUV Calibration Radiometer with Case (cool white lamps)
• CR-10/RECAL   Recalibration of CR-10 (recommended annually)

Q-SUN Radiometer Calibration
All Q-SUN SOLAR-EYE irradiance sensors need to be calibrated periodically by the user to assure accurate and consistent results.  Calibrating the Q-SUN tester is simple using the provided CR20 calibration radiometer, and takes only a few minutes.  Note that the CR20 comes with a 340nm, 420nm, or 300-400nm TUV (Total UV) sensor and must match the type of sensor and filter type actually used in the Q-SUN tester.

The CR10, CR10/cw, and CR20 radiometers need to be returned to Q-Lab once per year for an inexpensive recalibration.  See LW-6008 - Recalibration Return Procedure.  Our calibration labs in the USA and UK are ISO 17025 accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) or UKAS.  Calibrations are traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
