• Ability to define measurement procedures.
• It converts measured parameters into STC conditions according to 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.
Sonel MeasureEffect™
The meter is a part of the Sonel MeasureEffect™ platform. It is a comprehensive system
that enables you to take measurements, store and manage data, and provides multi-level
control of your instruments.
Measured parameters
PVM-1530
• 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: RISO+ and RISO-.
• 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.
PVM-1530: 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
The 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 IRM-1 can be transferred to a computer via the USB port.
In addition, the device has a built-in wireless LoRa interface (Long Range) for automatic
data exchange with the master meter – even over long distances.
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.
