Housing:
Sturdy plastic housing, watertight, crushproof, and dust proof (IP67), easy-open, double-step latches, automatic pressure equalization valve, comfortable, rubber over-moulded handle, durable plastic foil front plate. All connectors accessible at the front plate.
Measurement and Evaluation Unit:
Industrial class PC, flash data storage 512MB (sufficient for several 1000 measurements)
No mechanically moved parts such as fixed disks, exhaust or similar
Sampling rate max. 100kHz, resolution 12Bit
Measuring accuracy for the I-V-characteristic better 1%, for the peak performance ±5%
4-wire-measurement leads avoids systematic errors in voltage measurement
Measuring period single measurement 0.02 - 2 seconds (100 pairs of measured values)
Irradiation reference sensor (Phox) with integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor
Optional additional measurement of the back surface temperature of the module under test
Other commercially available irradiance reference sensors (i.e. from ISE Fraunhofer) can be used as well
Measuring Ranges:
Voltage DC: 25 / 100 / 500 / 1000 V
Current DC: 2 / 5 / 10 / 40 A
Temperature: -40°C - +120°C with Pt1000
Irradiance: 0 - 1300 W/m2 (Standard Sensor)
Each voltage measuring range can be combined among each current range
The measuring instrument automatically selects an optimal measuring range
The device must be used only for the test of current limited, not grounded dc sources (photovoltaic generators)
Display:
Daylight-suited colour TFT display with RGB LED back-light, resolution 480 x 272 pixels, high contrast
Operation:
Menu driven by touch function of the display directly at the device
Operation and analysis alternatively with MS-Windows® application, communication over isolated USB
Voltage Supply
Lithium-Ion battery 11.25V/8.8Ah/99.6Wh (continuous operation about 8h)
External power supply with wide range input 90-264Vac, 47-63Hz, UL-approved, power 40W
Internal automatic battery charge controller with overcharge protection
Display of the charge state by control LED at the front side of the housing
Continuous measurement possible during mains operation
