Hamamatsu C3704 series UV TRON driving circuits are low
current consuming, signal processing circuits for the UV TRON,
well known as a high sensitivity ultraviolet detecting tube. The
C3704 series can be operated as a UV sensor by connecting the
UV TRON and applying DC low voltage, as they have both a highvoltage
power supply and a signal processing circuit on the same
printed circuit board.
Since background discharges of the UV TRON caused by natural
excitation lights (such as a cosmic ray, scattered sunlight, etc.)
can be cancelled in the signal processing circuit, the output
signals from the C3704 series can be used without errors.
When the high sensitivity sensor “UV TRON R2868” (sold
separately) is used, the flame from a cigarette lighter (flame
length: 25mm) can be detected even from a distance of more
than 5m.

Note 1: The output pulse width can be extended up to about 100s by adding a
capacitor to the circuit board.
Note 2: Since the output impedance of this power supply is extremely high, an
ordinary voltmeter cannot be used. Use a voltmeter that has an input
impedance of more than 10 GW.
