  • Page 11 Introduction The PV -100-2 weather station is a compact and economical solution designed to monitor the efficiency of photovoltaic installations. It measures ambient air temperature, PV panel temperature and either global or plane of array irradiance. The PV -100-2 is Sunspec compliant and uses a 2-wire half duplex serial port for Modbus communication to a host.
  • Page 12 Installation Weather Station Mount the support mast securely. This may be done by using the Mono-Mount or Tripod, which is sold as an accessory to the PV -100-2. The mast may also be attached to a support structure using U-Bolts. Do not tighten the support structure to the PV -100-2 unit;...
  • Page 13 If the cable length of 25ft. is insufficient for the installation, additional cable can be added to the existing cable. If this is done, an accuracy-derating factor must be added to the overall temperature accuracy of this sensor. For every 100ft. of cable added, a derating factor of -0.125C must be taken into account.
  • Page 14 PV Temp #1: Signal PV Temp #1 Shield: Cable Shield and Drain Connecting RS-485 The PV -100-2 is supplied with a half duplex RS-485/422 serial port. The default firmware build supports RS-422 only. Custom firmware builds are addressable and support integration into RS-485 networks. Contact RainWise for further information. Wiring connections are made using the 4-pin screw terminal inside of the PV -100-2 electronics enclosure.

  • Page 18 In order to use the Modbus method to change a device address you must know the current device address. If you do not know the address and cannot scan for it, you will have to use the Command Mode. The command mode requires a PC and does not require an address.
  • Page 19 Command Mode: By default, the PV -100-2 will boot in Modbus mode and will not respond to the commands listed here. To enter the command mode issue three '+' characters one second apart. The PV -100-2 will return a message indicating that it is in command mode. After one minute of inactivity it will exit command mode and return to the default Modbus mode.

  • Page 24: Software/Firmware Updates

    Software/Firmware Updates The software or firmware in the PV -100-2 can be updated or changed using the RS- 485 port. Make sure you read the update instructions carefully and be sure you are installing the correct software. As with all updates, there are risks associated with changing the flash memory.

  • Page 25: Maintenance

    Maintenance The station requires minimal maintenance. At least once a year, the station should be visually inspected. When visually inspecting the station, make sure that the front of the enclosure is facing the equator. Check to see if the sensor assembly is vertically level. When inspecting the PV cell temperature sensor, check for any damage to the sensor head or cabling.

  • Page 38: Supported System Types

    INSTALLATION GUIDE SUPPORTED SYSTEM TYPES The meter has a number of different possible system wiring configurations (see Wiring Diagrams, page 5). To configure the meter, set the System Type via the User Interface or Modbus register 130 (if so equipped). The System Type tells the meter which of its current and voltage inputs are valid, which are to be ignored, and if neutral is connected. Setting the correct System Type prevents unwanted energy accumulation on unused inputs, selects the formula to calculate the Theoretical Maximum System Power, and determines which phase loss algorithm is to be used.
