The Fluke SMFT-1000 multifunction tester with I-V curve tracing tests that PV systems are performing to their optimal power output as well as operating safely. 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.

IRR2-BT Wireless Irradiance Meter

To perform precise I-V curve measurements, real time irradiance and temperature data is needed. The included IRR2-BT irradiance meter wirelessly connects to the SMFT-1000 to communicate data in real time, providing the most accurate I-V curve measurements possible. If the wireless connection is interrupted for any reason, the IRR2-BT will continue recording data for up to 17 hours, which can later be matched to tests taken with the multifunction tester.

On-location I-V curve results: compare manufacturer I-V curve data to measured data instantly

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 that they are working according to the site specifications, or to test if existing modules or strings are working to their expected performance levels.

"Keep the Leads" System

It is 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 users can get more testing done in the field in less time.

Color Screen with Integrated Interface

On-screen instructions provide any easy walkthrough of tests - 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

Visual Inspection

To meet PV system IEC regulations for visual inspections, the SMFT-1000 features a convenient setting in which the user records observations directly to the memory.
