TIS PVCHECKS-PROPLUS: The Complete 1500V/40A Solar Commissioning Kit with Irradiance
Elevate your photovoltaic commissioning process with the TIS PVCHECKS-PROPLUS kit. Based on information from resellers like Green2Go, this package combines the advanced TIS PVCHECKS-PRO multifunction tester with the sophisticated SOLAR-03 remote unit, delivering a comprehensive solution for verifying safety, functionality, and performance of PV systems up to 1500V and 40A, fully compliant with IEC/EN62446-1.
PVCHECKS-PRO Tester Core Features
The heart of the kit is the PVCHECKS-PRO, providing rapid, automated testing:
- IEC/EN62446-1 Compliance: Performs Continuity (>200mA), Polarity, Voc (up to 1500V), Isc (up to 40A), and Insulation Resistance (up to 1500V) tests.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Includes the vital GFL (Ground Fault Locator) function to quickly identify the location of insulation faults.
- Efficiency: Features seamless mode for testing multiple strings in sequence and handles both single-facial and bi-facial modules.
- Internal Database & Memory: Stores module data and up to 999 test results.
- Connectivity: WiFi and Optical/USB for PC connection and compatibility with HTANALYSIS App.
SOLAR-03 Remote Unit for Environmental Data
The included SOLAR-03 unit wirelessly transmits crucial environmental data to the PVCHECKS-PRO via Bluetooth (up to 100m range), enabling performance analysis relative to Standard Test Conditions (STC):
- Irradiance Measurement: Accurately measures solar irradiance from 0-1400W/m² (requires suitable reference cell like HT305, often sold separately - *please verify kit contents*). Suitable for single and double-sided modules.
- Temperature Measurement: Records PV module and ambient temperature (requires suitable probe like PT305, often sold separately - *please verify kit contents*).
- Inclination Measurement: Measures the tilt angle of the PV modules.
- Data Logging & STC Comparison: Enables the PVCHECKS-PRO to extrapolate measured Voc and Isc values to STC and compare them against the manufacturer's nominal data for an OK/NO performance result. The SOLAR-03 itself has internal memory for logging (approx. 60 hours at 1s intervals).
- Rugged & Convenient: IP67 rated, powered by AA batteries, features USB-C for charging rechargeable batteries.
