The Seaward Solarlink™ Test Kit meets all of the commissioning test requirements of MCS and IEC 62446. It combines the PV150 installation test kit with the advanced Solar Survey 200R multifunction irradiance meter; offering a complete solution to PV installation testing.
The Solarlink™ test kit includes all of the necessary equipment to measure the electrical safety and performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems as well as irradiance.
The PV150 installation tester combines all test functions required to meet IEC 62446 and MCS electrical test requirements into one safe, easy-to-use, hand-held device. The addition of USB and wireless Solarlink™ connectivity makes the PV150 the most versatile, safe and technically advanced solar PV tester on the market.
Transforming the way that PV systems are tested, the PV150 replaces the three separate instruments which are ordinarily used for commissioning tests; combining earth / ground continuity, insulation resistance, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, operating current (uses supplied AC/DC current) and DC operating power test functions into one handheld unit. The kit includes MC4 and Sunclix test adaptors which enable quick, safe and easy connection of the tester to the PV modules, strings or array.
As well as a comprehensive range of electrical test functions, the PV150 has memory to store up to 200 complete test records with USB connectivity to enable these to be quickly and easily downloaded to a PC. When coupled with Seaward’s SolarCert Elements software program, professional test certificates and reports can be created.
Using Seaward Solarlink™ connectivity, the PV150 can wirelessly capture and record real-time irradiance, ambient temperature and PV module, string or array temperature measurements from the Solar Survey 200R multifunction irradiance meter. This means that you can take all measurements, as required by MCS and IEC 62446 simultaneously.
Key features of the Seaward Solar PV150:
- Earth / ground continuity measurement
- Earth / ground test lead null (up to 10Ω) for long test-lead
