I – Introduction In addition to environmental applications, and face to development of renewable energy, SL 200 instrument allows to control on test or on site, equipment with thermal or photovoltaic sensors. Thanks to its big capacity of measurement and storage, SL 200 becomes an instrument of control and investigation particularly suited.
III – Operating principle Keyboard presentation When being switched on, “measurement screen” is displayed. From this screen, the operator has access to three others screens by pressing on keyboard; return to measurement screen is obtained by activating Function keys Directly associated to text displayed shown above on display, they allow measurement setting.
IV – Setting Accessible from the principal measuring screen by successive pushes on the key , those different screens allow setting of the instrument. They also inform users. Brightness To optimize display reading, the operator can : 1. Adjust brightness by pressing function keys.
Radiation exposure or global irradiation The instrument measures twice a second the irradiance and displays it, while memorizing minimum and maximum values. From these data , it calculates and displays the measurement duration : average value, Radiation exposure or global irradiation. From start screen, the operator have access to energy measurement over a period controlled by timer and clock, he proceeds as follows: Access to exposure measurement and in sunshine control Irr.
Then press USB symbol. Once the connection, computer detects SL200 instrument on the appropriate port. The software allows only the transfer, the instrument is still pending. It only indicates date and time (which can be updated through software DL200).
Data evaluation Customized treatment of .txt file The operator can organize his control or investigation folder by importing .txt file in an appropriate spreadsheet. For example Evaluation of the .txt file through DL 200 software allows rapid obtaining of tracing time of irradiance and an easy graphic process. For example : These images can be saved or printed for an integration into the corresponding folder.
Clock SL200 instrument has a permanent clock powered by an internal battery that is recharged when the device is switched on. In case of non- use of the device, the battery will allow the running of the clock for 6 months.
Regular checking Like most measuring instruments, it is strongly recommended to regularly control and calibrate SL200. Return to the manufacturer each year will provide necessary metrological traceability. Batteries replacement – adaptors Batteries : To replace batteries, open the back hatch and insert the 3 new batteries of type 1.5 V / AAA-LR3 inside.
