Fluke SMFT-1000 Multifunction PV Tester and Performance Analyzer, I-V Curve Tracer

For PV professionals that provide installation, commissioning, and maintenance services, specifically targeting C&I (Commercial & Industrial) segment the SMFT-1000 Multifunction PV Analyzer Is a complete PV commissioning and O&M solution for safety and performance testing partnered with a dedicated software solution that streamlines and simplifies solar workflows from initial measurements to final reporting and reduces field time and documentation time.

Test that PV systems are performing to their optimal power output as well as operating safely with the Fluke SMFT-1000 multifunction tester with I-V curve tracing. Designed for PV professionals that provide installation, commissioning and maintenance services to systems that operate at 1000 V DC or under, the SMFT-1000 provides a complete PV testing solution that conforms to IEC 62446-1 standards. Through Fluke’s TruTest Software, measurement data from solar site installation and commissioning testing can be easily imported, organized and analyzed for effortless reporting without having to bring a laptop on-site.

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)

Quick and accurate testing saves time and money

It’s a hassle to change the configuration of test leads constantly while doing different tests. With Fluke’s patented “Keep the Leads” system, less time is wasted on set-up, and less user errors occur while testing PV systems. Now you can get more testing done in the field in less time. 

On-screen instructions provide any easy walkthrough of tests

Automatic testing saves time

Switch the SMFT-1000 to Auto Test Mode to perform an automatic sequence of tests in a variety of combinations:

• With insulation test or without insulation test
• IEC 62446-1 testing for Category 1 or Category 1 and 2
• IEC 62446-1 testing for Protection Class I or Protection Class II

While taking an I-V curve reading in the field, the SMFT-1000 will display the curve as it loads in the test data, against the module specifications as defined by the manufacturer. This makes it easy to immediately confirm measurements without the use of a laptop or tablet. Run the I-V curve test on new installations to confirm they are working according to the site specifications, or to test if existing modules or strings are working to their expected performance levels.

To meet PV system IEC regulations for visual inspections, the SMFT-1000 features a convenient setting in which to record observations directly to the memory. Later, the information can be downloaded to the TruTest software and incorporated into the project report.

Spend less time processing test results and compiling reports

The reporting necessary to close out projects can be challenging and time-consuming. Cover all your certification and documentation needs through the modern, fast and reliable software platform of TruTest. TruTest allows for solar asset management, data storage and reporting on a single platform. Whether you are analyzing panel efficiency through I-V curves, or safety testing the system through the Category 1 test regime in conformance to IEC 62446-1, proper data management is critical for producing easy-to-understand reports for clients. Compatible with the Fluke SMFT-1000 Multifunction PV Tester and Performance Analyzer, TruTest Software allows you to quickly and easily import measurement results directly from your solar multifunction tester to computer, organize and analyze the data, compare individual asset data against previous measurements imported and provide a comprehensive and visual client report.
