Unlike the Standard Kit, the Pro Kit is supplied with Fluke’s Advanced TruTest Software, an asset management, data storage, analysis, and reporting platform. Using this program, you can save time processing results and compiling reports. Fluke’s Advanced TruTest Software allows you to:
Includes a setting for recording visual observations, ensuring compliance with IEC regulations. This information can be imported into Fluke’s Advanced TruTest Software and may be incorporated into reports.
Dedicated controls on the Tester’s front panel provide access to the following tests:
The Fluke SMFT-1000 Solar Multifunction PV Tester also includes several auto-test sequences such as the one below.
Full Sequence Safety Testing - IEC 62446-1 Category 1 | Protective resistance earth RLO |
Voltage on open circuit, including polarity VOC | |
Short circuit current ISC | |
Insulation resistance RINS | |
System Performance Testing - IEC 62446-1 Category 2 | I-V Curve tracing and software analysis with TruTest™ |
Irradiance, temperature, tilt, cardinal direction |
Auto Test mode allows you to perform automatic test sequences in a variety of combinations, for example:
The Fluke SMFT-1000 Solar Multifunction PV Tester is supplied with a Fluke IRR2-BT Irradiance Meter that gathers real-time temperature and irradiance data, wirelessly transferring it to the Fluke SMFT-1000. The Fluke IRR2-BT Irradiance Meter provides accurate, up-to-the-moment I-V curve readings and the tester displays the curve as the data loads, allowing you to compare it against the manufacturer’s module specifications. This means you can quickly and easily confirm measurements without a laptop/tablet. Should the wireless connection between the irradiance meter and MFT falter, the Fluke IRR2-BT will log data to its memory for up to seventeen hours.
Fluke’s Keep the Leads system means you only need to connect test leads to the solar installation once. This saves time and reduces user errors, allowing you to work more simply and quickly.
Also adding to the Fluke SMFT-1000's ease of use is its colour display with on-screen instructions that guide you through each test procedure.
The Fluke SMFT-1000 Solar Multifunction PV Tester is a complete solar installation testing solution optimised for speed and simplicity.
