IRM-1, small, but indispensable for testing PV systems. By measuring
solar radiation values, as well as panel and ambient temperatures,
it provides the necessary data to convert the results into STC
conditions. A built-in recorder with a memory of 5000 records
enables the instrument to be used as a tool in the PV plant design
process, as
well as to diagnose panel shading problems.
Features
Measurement of solar radiation and
temperature.
The LoRa interface for communication with the
PVM-1020 meter – offers a larger range than the Bluetooth
technology!
Automatic data synchronization with the
PVM-1020 meter.
Built-in compass and inclination
sensor.
Built-in recorder that can be used to record
solar radiation before constructing PV systems, as well as
to measure the shading of existing systems.
Large measurement memory: 999 cache memory
cells and 5000 recorder records available (one-time
recording) with the option of overwriting them (continuous
recording).
Measured parameters
Solar radiation intensity (irradiance) in
W/m2 or BTU/ft2 h.
PV panel temperature in °C or °F.
Ambient temperature in °C or °F.
Inclination angle of panels
Orientation of the panels with the
built-in
compass.
Tightness and durability
The meter
performs well in harsh environmental conditions. Protection against
the ingress of dust and water is provided by the housing rated at
IP65. This is especially important for measurements on photovoltaic
systems, which are outdoor installations.
Communication and software
Measurement data
from the IRM-1 can be transferred to a computer via the USB port. In
addition, the device has a built-in wireless LoRa interface (Long
Range) for automatic data exchange with the master meter – even over
long distances.
