FEATURES:
• automatic test procedure (+/-, Vo/c, Is/c, W/m2, °C) with reverse polarity protection
• powerful short-circuit current measurement, reserve is up to 4 x larger than for conventional PV testers with 10 A limitation
• reduced testing times and effort for disassembly, as the individual PV strings no longer have to be separated and tested one after the other
• reduces the risk of failure due to overload during testing of PV strings of unknown power
• integrated memory of measured values for 999 PV string/ PV fields
• real-time clock with date/time stamp per measurement
• USB interface and download software (CSV format)(Demo)
• large LC display with illumination
• optimum transport and storage protection (IP 64)

MEASURING FUNCTIONS:
• polarity test of the PV generator/ PV cabling
• open-circuit voltage measurement for modern 1500 V DC systems
• short-circuit current measurement at PV strings up to 40 A DC
• insolation measurement (W/m2) and PV module temperature and ambient temperature (°C) by means of BENNING SUN 2 (optional, item no. 050420)

BENNING SOLAR Datalogger (download software):
• download of measured values from the BENNING PV 3 in CSV format
• further processing of measured values possible in MS Excel®
• The latest version is available for free download on this product page (see "Further Information" -> "Software")

SCOPE OF DELIVERY:
• PV tester in robust protective case (IP 64), set of PV measuring leads (MC4), set of measuring leads with probe tip and alligator clips, charger with 3 pieces 3.7 V lithium-ion batteries.

RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES :
• Insolation and temperature measuring instrument BENNING SUN 2 (050420)
• The BENNING PV 3 is able to receive the measured values (insolation, PV module / ambient temperature) of the insolation and temperature measuring instrument BENNING SUN 2 via radio connection. If the BENNING SUN 2 is radio connected to the BENNING PV 3, the measured values of the open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current can be evaluated in relation to the existing solar radiation as well as the PV module temperature and ambient temperature.
• temperature sensor with suction cup for BENNING SUN 2 for attachment to the rear of the PV module (050424).
• PV module holder for BENNING SUN 2 for safe attachment to the PV module (050425)
• test badges "next test", 300 pieces (756212)
