Full Data sheet for Series E
Eye Response Detectors (series -E)
Centronic
Series E photodetectors use the successful Series 5T chip together with
high quality glass colour correcting filters. The resulting spectral response
approximates to that of the human eye making this device ideal for use
in general photometric applications.
Electrical / Optical Specifications
Characteristics measured at 22°C (±2) ambient, and a reverse
bias of 12 volts, unless otherwise stated.

Unit Conversion Table for Illuminance
The Series E photodiodes have been colour corrected to provide a photopic response. They can be used as low cost illuminance monitors for many instrument and industrial applications. The following table provides useful conversion factors for various illuminance units.
