Chiltern Dynamics and BM TRADA Certification have revised their popular Technical Information Sheet T1-0806 Secured By Design Doors and Windows, available free of charge.
For further versatility, the monitors are designed to incorporate the picture information label.
This is ideal for museums, galleries and any building where valuable artworks are being displayed.
It is widely recognised that light is one of the major causes of damage to artwork, particularly the ultraviolet (UV) content.
It is therefore important that all light levels are carefully monitored.
However, until now most light monitors on the market have been unsightly and spoilt the ambiance of many galleries and museums.
Now, thanks to the innovative design of these new Hanwell monitors, the conservator is provided with all the necessary information required to protect their exhibits, without compromising the character of their environment.
The Hanwell Lux.UV radio telemetry sensors measure Lux in the range of 10 to 2000 Lux and UV from 10 to 1000 uW/Lumen.
The sensor is calibrated against a reference light source and this information is entered via the PC software.
Using proven Hanwell radio technology, online measurements can be taken of the proportion of UV present, the total amount of UV and the amount of visible light (Lux).
The radio sensors can be interfaced to the Building Management System (BMS) or stand alone control is also available. Request a free brochure from Hanwell Instruments ...
