The PHOTOVOLTAIC-TEST FTV500 is a portable instrument designed to meet all the needs of the technicians and the professionals involved during the commissioning, testing and maintenance of photovoltaic systems.
\nThis instrument measures and analyses all the characteristic parameters of both single-phase and three-phase systems (3 DC clamps + 3 AC clamps), according to the applicable international standards. The large memory, the data logger function, the remote control through Virtual Network Computing technology allow the PHOTOVOLTAIC-TEST FTV500 to be a portable field instrument as well as a complete system for your periodic maintenance campaigns.<\/p>\n

\npower, the power factor and the phase graph at the inverter outputs. Every parameter is correlated with the irradiation quantities, room\/module temperature, which are read by
\nthe remote unit. Test results are compared with regulatory references.<\/p>\n

\nThe instrument manages the measurement autonomously, with a 4-terminals connection, and displays in a short time the graph of the characteristic curves (voltage\/current\/power), the
\nmain characteristic parameters and the test results compared with the STC values, which are drawn from a database of solar modules updated by the user. Rapid Test is also available,
\nmeasuring only the open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current of single modules or strings in parallel.<\/p>\n

\ndirectly from your smartphone \/ PC \/ Tablet. Associated with Wi-Fi transmission, it also becomes ideal for remote assistance or to support technicians in the field from your office.
\nThe memory of the instrument allows recordings of over 10,000 measurements and the immediate creation of reports with a simple click.
\nThrough a USB-key the whole database can be downloaded and made available.<\/p>\n
\nof results. Thanks to the Wi-Fi technology, the remote unit seamlessly transmits the data to the instrument, at a distance of up to over 200 m in open field, and it allows, in case of interruption of the transmission signal, to function as a data logger and store the acquired measurements, to then re-synchronize and transmit them to the instrument when the conditions return to normal. A patented fixing system offers installation stability and measurement reliability.<\/p>\n![\"FTV](\"https:\/\/chauvin-arnoux.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PHOTOVOLTAIC-TEST-FTV500-4-ld.jpg\")
