BENNING PV 1-1

Important information

Before using the BENNING PV 1-1 please read the detailed operat-

ing manual (CD-ROM) carefully.

The BENNING PV 1-1 should only be used by suitably trained per-

sonnel.

The connection to the PV generator is made exclusively in accord-

ance with the connection figure of the operating manual.

Disconnect not required safety tests leads from the BENNING PV 1-1.

The PV module/PV string must not exceed the maximum open-

circuit voltage of 1000 V DC, the maximum short-circuit current of

15 A and the maximum DC power (P = U x I) of 10 kW.

According to DIN EN 62446, the measurements have to be made for

each PV string.

Measurements made at PV strings which are connected in parallel

might involve an overload of the BENNING PV 1-1.

Disconnect the BENNING PV 1-1 from the test sample directly after

the test.

Do not touch the measuring probes! During insulating resistance

measurements, high electric currents might be applied to the meas-

uring probes.

Do not touch any metal parts of the test object during measure-

ment.

The PV generator must be isolated from the electric power supply!

Neither the positive nor the negative pole of the PV generator must

be earthed!

Via the 4 mm safety test leads, voltage measurements on mains

supply circuits are possible. Via the 4 mm test sockets, the

BENNING PV 1-1 must be used only in electric circuits of overvolt-

age category III with max. 300 V AC/DC for phase-to-earth measure-

ments. For this please disconnect the PV 1-1 measuring leads from

the PV test sockets before measuring.

Before starting the unit, always check it for signs of damage. Do not

use a damaged BENNING PV 1-1!

Only use safety measuring leads, which are supplied with the

BENNING PV 1-1.

The BENNING PV 1-1 is intended for making measurements under

dry ambient conditions only.

Switching the device ON/OFF

Press the

-key and the

Auto

-key simultaneously to switch the device ON or OFF.

Without pressing a key, the device switches OFF automatically after approx. 1

minute (APO, Auto Power-Off).

Measured value memory (200 display screens)

-Store

Store all measurements currently on the LC display. In the RE-

CALL mode, the measuring results are called in reverse order.

-Recall

Recall the stored measured values on the LC display.

Clear all results from memory.

Reading out the measured value memory via the USB interface

1. Install the driver and download program from the CD-ROM once.

2. Disconnect all measuring leads from the BENNING PV 1-1.

Connect the BENNING PV 1-1 to your PC by means of the USB connecting cable.

4. Start the download program, select the COM port and click “Download”.

Switch on the BENNING PV 1-1 and press the -key for approx. 2 seconds.

6. Measured value download will start.

Setting the date and time

1. Turn off the BENNING PV 1-1.

2. Press and hold the

key and then press simultaneously the

-key and

the

Auto

-key of BENNING PV 1-1.

3. The date format and time format is shown as follows:

MM.DD = month (1-12). Day (1-31)

YYYY = year

HH.mm = hours (0-23).minutes (0-59)

SS = seconds (0-59)

4. Press the

-key to select a date field and time field

5. A blinking field shows that this field can be set.

6. With the -key and the

key, the value increases or decreases. With

each change, the second field is set to zero.

7. Turn off the device to save the setting.

Setting the Auto Power Off (APO, Auto-Power Off)

1. Turn off the BENNING PV 1-1.

2. Press and hold the

NULL

-key and then press simultaneously the

-key and

the

Auto

-key of BENNING PV 1-1. Keep the

NULL

-key pressed.

3. The LC display shows the first line “OFF” and in the second row the shutdown

in minutes.

4. Each press of the

ISO

-key increases the shutdown time by one minute to 10

minutes.

5. Then release the

NULL

-key to save the setting.

Radio connection to BENNING SUN 2 - wireless SUN link

The BENNING PV 1-1 is able to receive the measured values (insolation, PV mo-

dule/ambient temperature and date/time stamp) of the insolation and temperature

measuring instrument BENNING SUN 2 (optional) via radio connection. For this

purpose, the BENNING PV 1-1 has to be coupled with the BENNING SUN 2 once.

Typical radio range of the BENNING SUN 2 in open space: approx. 30 m

Buildings/metal structures or interfering signals can reduce the radio range.

Coupling with insolation/temperature measuring instrument BENNING SUN 2

1. Remove all electronic devices in direct vicinity

2. Switch the BENNING PV 1-1 and the BENNING SUN 2 off.

3. Press and hold the two ON/OFF keys of the BENNING SUN 2.

4. Press and simultaneously hold the

-key and the

Auto

-key of the

BENNING PV 1-1.

5. The BENNING PV 1-1 indicates the successful coupling by means of an

acoustic signal and by displaying the serial no. of the BENNING SUN 2

6. The "W/m

" symbol is shown on the LC display of the BENNING PV 1-1.

Decoupling from insolation/temperature measuring instrument BENNING SUN 2

1. Remove all electronic devices in direct vicinity.

2. Switch the BENNING PV 1-1 off.

3. Press and hold the

-key and the

Auto

-key of the BENNING PV 1-1 for approx.

10 seconds.

4. The BENNING PV 1-1 indicates the decoupling from the BENNING SUN 2 by

means of an acoustic signal and by clearing the LC display.

5. The "R

/Ω" symbol is shown on the LC display of the BENNING PV 1-1.

Activating/deactivating the radio transmission of the BENNING SUN 2

1. Couple the BENNING PV 1-1 with the BENNING SUN 2.

2. To activate/deactivate the radio transmission, press and hold the -key of

the BENNING SUN 2 and simultaneously press the -key. A flashing triangle

above the -key shows that the radio transmission has been activated.

3. If the BENNING PV 1-1 is within the radio range of the BENNING SUN 2,

the measured insolation value (W/m

) is shown on the LC display of the

BENNING PV 1-1.

Besides the electric variables (Vo/c, Is/c, R

ISO

), AUTO measurement by means

of the BENNING PV 1-1 additionally measures the insolation, the module and

ambient temperature as well as the date/time stamp of the BENNING SUN 2.

5. If the BENNING PV 1-1 is outside the radio range of the BENNING SUN 2, the

"W/m

" on the LC display starts flashing. Moreover, "_ _ _ _" is shown on the

LC display, if the measured insolation value is outside the measuring range.

Note:

If the BENNING PV 1-1 does not receive any radio signal from the BENNING SUN 2,

the display indications are stored with the date/time stamp of the BENNING PV 1-1.
