1. INTRODUCTION

Apollo 1.0 and Apollo 2.0 are instruments for accurate measurements of

UV-A irradiation and visible illuminance. Extra engineering eort is taken to

make an accurate measurement of visible light emission from a UV-A lamp

by incorporating a superior bandpass lter containing only non-uorescent

lters. e instrument provides fast measurements as it oers autoranging and

concurrent measuring of visible light and UV-A irradiation. It is ergonomic and

easy to use due to its lightweight chassis, a wireless sensor unit and compact

size. Apollo 1.0 and Apollo 2.0 are traceable to NIST (USA’s National Institute of

Standards and Technology). In addition, Apollo 2.0 complies with the ISO 3059

standard.

Sensor measurements and transmission of the data is done via Bluetooth. e

wireless sensor enables the user to measure from a distance of up to ve meters

(16feet). is feature ensures that the sensor unit is stable, and no movement

occurs from connecting cables during measurement. Each sensor unit has both

the UV and white light sensors incorporated.

Apollo 1.0 and 2.0 come as a single kit or as a double kit. e single kit includes

one reader unit and one wireless sensor unit. A double kit includes one reader

unit and two wireless sensor units. As only the sensor needs to be sent for

calibration, the double kit is a convenient tool so that operations are never

disrupted. Please note that Aerospace companies that are audited by Nadcap

must send in both the reader and the sensor for calibration.

2. OPERATION

2.1 Turning on Apollo

a) Turn on the Hand Unit by pressing the “Power On” button (see Figure 1).

b) Turn on the Sensor Unit by pressing the “Power On” button. e LED will

ash once to conrm (see Figure2). Note that the Sensor Unit will turn o

automatically aer 30 s if no connection to the Hand Unit was established or

if the Hand Unit was switched o. In these cases, the LED ashes twice.

c) e Hand Unit and Sensor Unit will now connect. A progress bar indicates

the connection process (see Figure 3).

d) Once the connection is established, you will see the measuring screen that

shows the UV-A intensity in µW/cm² as measured by the UV-A sensor of the

Sensor Unit and the white light illuminance in lux as measured by the VIS

sensor.

2.2 The main menu

e main menu is reached when pressing “Enter” (Figure 1).

Here, you have the following options:

POWER OFF

SETTINGS

SENSOR UNITS

<<<

Use the “Arrow Up” and “Arrow Down” function to navigate through the

options. Press “Enter” to choose a submenu. Press <<< to return to the

measuring screen. e dierent options will be discussed in the following

sections.

2.3 Switching off Apollo

a) Turn o the Hand Unit by selecting POWER OFF in the main menu.

b) e Sensor Unit is automatically switched o 30 s aer the Hand Unit is

switched o. In this case, the LED ashes twice.

In addition, there is an automatic function which turns o the Hand Unit aer 5

min if no button has been pressed.

2.4 Average reading function

e average reading function allows integrating over the last 10 or 25 values that

are measured by the sensor.

a) Select SETTINGS in the main menu. e following submenu opens

UV-A: μW/cm2

VIS: lx

AVER AGE: OFF

<<<

b) Navigate to AVERAGE: OFF. Repeated application of the “Enter” button

allows you to switch between three values (10, 25, and OFF).

c) Return to the measuring screen by either pressing <<< twice or by pressing

the “Peak” button once. If you chose AVERAGE: 10 or AVERAGE: 25, you

will see the averaging symbol in the display (see Figure 4).

d) If no key has been pressed for 1 min, the Hand Unit will automatically return

to the main menu.

2.5 Change of measuring units

Measuring units for the UV intensity can be chosen between µW/cm² (default)

and W/m² and units for the visible illuminance can be chosen between lux

(default) and foot candles (fc).

a) Select SETTINGS in the main menu.

b) To change the settings for the UV-intensity, navigate to UV-A: µW/cm².

Repeated application of the “Enter” button allows you to alternate between

the measuring units.

c) To change the settings for the visible illuminance, navigate to VIS:lx.

Repeated application of the “Enter” button allows you to alternate between

the measuring units.

d) Return to the measuring screen by either pressing <<< twice or by pressing

the “Peak” button once.

e) If no key has been pressed within 1 min, the Hand Unit will automatically

return to the main menu.

2.6 The peak function

Aer the “Peak” button is pressed while you are on the measuring screen, the

Hand Unit shows the largest measured value since the button was pressed. A

small triangle can be seen in the display (see Figure 5). To deactivate the peak

function, press the “Peak” button again.

2.7 The hold function

Aer the “Hold” button is pressed while you are on the measuring screen, the

Hand Unit will show the latest measured value and does not change. A small

“H” can be seen in the display (see Figure 6). To deactivate the hold function,

press the “Hold” button again.

3. PAIRING SENSOR UNITS

e Sensor and the Hand Unit are paired by the factory. Only one Hand Unit

and one Sensor Unit can be paired at one time. In case of a double kit, the Sensor

Unit and the Hand Unit can be paired manually.

a) Select SENSOR UNITS in the main menu.

b) You see a submenu that looks like this

D588647BB843

NEW SENSOR

<<<

e rst line shows the unique ID of the Sensor Unit (12 characters, always

starting with a letter) that is currently paired with the Hand Unit. e ID is

printed on the label on the back side of the Sensor Unit.

c) Select NEW SENSOR. e Hand Unit it now disconnecting from the old

Sensor Unit and the display reads “Scanning …”.

d) Switch on the Sensor Unit you want to pair with.

e) A list of available Hand Units appears on the screen.

f) Select the desired Sensor Unit and press “Enter”.

g) Return to the measuring screen by either pressing <<< twice or by pressing

the “Peak” button once.

4. TECHNICAL INFORMATION

4.1 Batteries

e active measuring time of the Hand Unit is estimated to about 100 h. If the

display does not light up aer pressing “Power On”, new batteries (3 x AA 1,5V) are

needed. e batteries used for the Hand Unit can be replaced by the user.

e active measuring time for the Sensor Unit is estimated to approximately 600h.

If the battery is discharged and/or if the Sensor Unit is cold (below -30°C/-22°F)

the LED will ash 5 times and the Sensor Unit will turn o. e battery shall only

be replaced by Labino or a Labino authorized calibration center (see section 5).

Batteries are changed by the factory when the spectrometer is recalibrated.

4.2 Operating conditions

a) Operating temperature: 0˚C to +40˚C

b) Storage temperature: -30˚C to +60˚C

c) Relative humidity: 5% to 95%, noncondensing

4.3 Relative spectral response

e wavelength dependence of the relative spectral responsivities of the Apollo 1.0

and 2.0 UV-radiometers are shown in Figure 7. e relative spectral response of

Apollo2.0 fullls the requirements of ISO 3059 which are:

a) the relative spectral response shall not exceed 105% for any wavelength;

b) the peak relative spectral response shall occur between 355 nm and 375 nm;

c) the relative spectral response at a wavelength of 313 nm shall be less

than 10%;

d) the relative spectral response at a wavelength of 405 nm shall be less than 2%.

5. CALIBRATION

e recommended calibration interval is six months and is done by Labino or a

Labino authorized calibration center. ese centers can be found online at

www.labino.com.
