5.1.4. Remote unit
This section allows selecting the type of remote unit to be used (if available) and setting
the values of typical parameters (Sensitivity and Alpha) of the reference irradiance cell
supplied with the meter. The values of these parameters, which are printed on the
back label of the cell, depend on the type of PV modules on test.
1. Move the cursor to “Remote unit” by means of the arrow
keys (
,) and confirm with ENTER
2. The display shows the screen which allows:
 Select the type of remote unit to be used for testing PV
systems (only for SOLAR I-V):
o NO: Remote unit disabled
o SOLAR: Use of SOLAR-02
o MPP300: Use of MPP300 (optional)
 Enable/disable the use of the remote unit SOLAR-02 for
I-V measurements (opt. for I-V 400). In case the use of
the remote unit has not been enabled, it will be possible
to set the sensitivity values (sens.) of the reference cell
provided, expressed in “mV/kW*m-2”, and of the Alpha
parameter.
3. Set the value by means of the arrow keys (
,)
4. Confirm with SAVE and the “Saved data” message is
displayed for a while. Press ESC/MENU key to exit without
saving and to go back to the previous screen

CAUTION
For EFF measurements (testing of PV systems – only SOLAR I-V), disabling
the remote unit entails:
 The impossibility of carrying out Irradiation and Temperature
measurements by means of unit SOLAR-02
 The impossibility of using the unit MPP300 (if available)
Consequently, it will be impossible to obtain a result for the test carried out.
