TIS PVCHECKS ULTIMATE: Complete PV Commissioning & Performance Kit (1000V)
The TIS PVCHECKS ULTIMATE kit, as described by resellers like Green2Go, offers a full suite of tools for commissioning tests and performance analysis on photovoltaic systems up to 1000V DC / 15A. Built around the reliable TIS PVCHECKS multifunction tester, this 'Ultimate' package bundles key accessories including the SOLAR-02 remote unit, HT304K reference cell, and a DC clamp attachment.
PVCHECKS Tester Core Capabilities
The foundation of the kit is the PVCHECKS tester, designed for IEC/EN62446 compliance:
- Safety Tests: Measures Insulation Resistance (250/500/1000V) with multiple modes and Continuity of protective conductors (>200mA).
- Functionality Checks: Measures Open Circuit Voltage (Voc up to 1000V) and Short Circuit Current (Isc up to 15A) with rapid IVCK checks and OK/NO results.
- Data Management: Stores up to 999 results, includes a 30-module internal database, and connects to PC via optical/USB for use with TopView software.
Included Accessories for Enhanced Analysis
This kit adds the components needed for comprehensive performance assessment:
- SOLAR-02 Remote Unit: Connects wirelessly (RF) to the PVCHECKS tester. It serves as the interface for the irradiance cell and temperature probe, enabling environmental data logging during efficiency tests.
- HT304K Reference Cell: Measures solar irradiance (W/m²), connecting to the SOLAR-02 unit. Crucial for extrapolating measurements to Standard Test Conditions (STC) and for DC efficiency calculations.
- Temperature Probe (Assumed Included): Measures module and/or ambient temperature, connecting to the SOLAR-02. Essential for temperature compensation in efficiency calculations (confirm exact probe model if needed).
- Clamp Attachment (DC Current Clamp): Measures the DC current output from the PV array, connecting to the PVCHECKS tester. Required for calculating DC power and efficiency. (Confirm clamp model and range if specific details are needed).
