Key Features & Capabilities

Features
It can be used for category 1 measurements according to EN 62446-1.
Allows the measurement of the I-U curve for category 2 according to EN 62446-1 and EN 61829.
It allows the measurement of photovoltaic panels, including bifacial and high-efficiency panels.
Ability to define measurement procedures.
It converts measured parameters into STC conditions according to EN IEC 60891 by cooperation with the IRM-1 solar radiation and temperature meter.
reSYNC function – automatic completion of results with environmental parameters and their conversion to STC conditions after restoring connection with IRM-1.
The attachable radio interface ensures cooperation with the IRM-1 meter over long distances.
Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for communication with external devices.
Large structured memory of measurements.
Large touchscreen for good visibility in bright sunlight.
Measured parameters
Measurement of I-U and P-U characteristics. Conversion to STC conditions.
The open circuit voltage of the PV panel or a chain of panels, up to 1500 V DC.
RMS voltage of the AC network up to 1000 V with frequency measurement.
Short circuit current of a PV panel or chain of panels – up to 40 A DC.
Insulation resistance of PV panels – measuring voltage of 250, 500, 1000, 1500 V DC, simultaneous measurement of two values: R_ISO+ and R_ISO-.
Insulation resistance of AC circuits – measuring voltage 250, 500, 1000 V DC.
Resistance of protective conductors and equipotential bonding with ± 200 mA current.
Measurement of PV panels operating current and AC current – all with
CMP-1015-PV meter.
AC/DC power measurement.
Test of bypass diodes, automatic polarity detection.
Test of blocking diodes with 1000, 1500 V DC voltage.
Cat. 1 measurements and I-U characteristics
The PVM-1530 is a pioneering meter for photovoltaic installations up to 1500 V with such a substantial number of measurement functions. Their selection is done via a touch screen. The screen is large, colorful and with strong backlight so that operation in full sunlight is not a problem. Extensive structural memory significantly reduces the time for preparing post-measurement documentation.
Tightness and durability
Light meters perform well in harsh environmental conditions. The PVM-1530’s housing is rugged and tight when closed to easily ensure that the meter is protected during measurement.
Communication and software
Measurement data from the PVM-1530 can be transferred to a computer via cable or wireless communication. Saving the downloaded data to popular formats and printing is ensured by Sonel Reader. In order to generate a report on electric shock protection use the optional software: Sonel Reports Plus.
Trouble? reSYNC!
It may happen that in the course of measurements the PVM-1530 moves away from the IRM-1 so far, that communication between them is lost. If the measurements are continued, then after the connection is restored, the results will be automatically supplemented with environmental parameters, which in the meantime were recorded by the IRM-1 in its temporary memory, and converted into STC conditions.

Multifunctional analyzer EVSE-100 is an instrument dedicated to diagnostics of electric vehicle charging stations and cables. Using a single device, we will perform a set of tests on these objects, ending with the generation of a professional report. Through appropriate simulation of CP and PP circuits, the meter can put the station into various operating states. This allows us to verify the correctness of the control system and perform measurements in the field of electric shock protection. We can complete the verification of functionality and safety by simulating errors on the power supply side, i.e. the charging station (ICCB), and charging side of the vehicle (CP circuit)
