Abstract: Curemeter and method in which UV exposure is monitored by a portable data collection module and data from the module is processed by a docking station which is located remotely from the site where the UV radiation is present. Temperature is also monitored at the data collection module, and the UV exposure data is compensated for variations in temperature. The data collection module includes shielding and filters to protect the UV detector from the harsh environment in which the UV readings are taken and to limit the radiation impinging upon the detector to the desired spectrum. Programmable thresholds for the detector signals protect against the collection of spurious data.
