EURO-INDEX completes its line of PV test instruments with the introduction of the Elektro Line PVChecks-PRO. This multifunctional instrument tests the safety and functionality of PV installations according to IEC/EN62446, SCIOS Scope 12 and the InstallQ approval scheme for solar power systems.

With a single keystroke, the PVChecks-PRO performs a series of tests on a single or series of strings, including a protective conductor continuity measurement, polarity, and an IV check with measurement of open circuit voltage up to 1,500 V DC and short circuit current up to 40 A. The device also measures insulation resistance with a test voltage up to 1,500 V DC, even on live installations. The GFL function (Ground Fault Locator) can be used to find the location of an insulation fault due to water or damage, for example, in a string of PV panels.

With the optionally available Solar03 remote unit, in combination with the corresponding reference cell and temperature sensor, the current solar irradiance intensity and panel temperature can be logged and communicated wirelessly to the PVChecks-PRO via Bluetooth. With these readings, the Voc and lsc can be converted to STC (Standard Test Conditions) to determine if a panel (still) meets the specified specifications.
