• Measure solar irradiance, ambient and panel temperature, array orientation and tilt angle
• Integrated digital compass and Inclination sensor

This Fluke kit contains the tools technicians need for the planning, evaluation or maintenance of solar panel installations. The 393 FC CAT III 1500 V True-rms Clamp Meter with iFlex is an industrial clamp meter designed for solar photovoltaic (PV) installation technicians and maintenance professionals who work in high voltage dc environments.

Safely connect the MC4 test leads to the clamp meter to validate voltage and current from individual panels or a series of panels in a PV array. The inline capabilities of the MC4 PVLEAD3 leads allow the system to remain online and generating power while testing without needing to pierce the line.

Use the IRR1-SOL to obtain instantaneous measurements in watts per square meter as required by the IEC 62446-1 standard. Technicians can also determine the amount of solar irradiance present to calculate the IV curve of the power output, or validate that the panel or string of panels are outputting the correct voltage. With the additional ability to measure panel orientation and tilt, solar installations can be thoroughly evaluated for documentation and reporting.

With the addition of the optional Fluke Connect software, a smartphone or tablet can be linked to the meter to capture measurement data for logging or reporting.
