FACT: The UV (ultraviolet) meter will detect the different ranges of ultraviolet rays from UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Ultraviolet rays are part of the light spectrum.
THEORY: In theory when a ghost/spirit manifests it will give off ultraviolet light, which can be detected by this meter.
HOW TO USE: 1 – Check the weather for the day, paying close attention to the UV index. The UV index could have an effect on your readings.
2 – Turn on the meter by holding down the button on the front of the meter.
3 – Scan the area looking for any unusual readings.
4 – At the end of the investigation make sure you log your readings in the log book.
RANGE: In the light spectrum the ultraviolet light ranges from 10nm to 400nm(nanometer). The 3 ranges of UV light are UV-A 320nm to 400nm, UV-B 280nm to 320nm, and UV-C below 280nm. The range on this meter is from 0 – 7+. The range from the meter to the active field depends on the strength of the UV source.
UV Index
0 to 2 | 3 to 4 | 4 to 7 | 7 to 9 | 10+ |
Minimal | Low | Moderate | High | Very High |
READINGS: Normal activity through this meter occurs between 0 to 2 (no light), and 2 to 4 (safe). Paranormal activity occurs between 4 to 7 (caution). Any readings above 7+ (warning) is probably non paranormal.
