Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device for selectively exposing a sensor to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The device is usable in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) which includes UV radiation as a method of disinfection. In one embodiment, the device allows for the discontinuous exposure of a UV photodetector to UV radiation, as for example, by a shutter mechanism. In a second embodiment, the UV photdetector itself is manipulated through various electromechanical mechanisms to allow for the selective exposure.
