Introduction
The Fluke IRR2-BT Solar Irradiance Meter Pro (the Meter or
Product) provides digital measurements related to photovoltaic
(PV) panels.
The Meter measures and reads:
Solar irradiation (W/m
panel
Temperature (°F or °C) on the surface of a photovoltaic (PV)
panel
Inclination (degrees) of a photovoltaic (PV) panel
Cardinal degrees with the compass function
The Meter can wirelessly transfer measurements to the
SMFT-1000 PV Analyzer (the Analyzer). This data is used for
IV curve performance analysis of the solar panel and other
measurements of the roof slope and the compass.
The Meter does not connect to smart phones and other
smart devices.
When the date and time on the Meter and the Analyzer match and
the Meter is out of wireless connection range with the Analyzer,
the Meter automatically records the data to memory. This data
can be transferred later to the SMFT-1000.

- Page 7 Irradiance and Internal Sensor Temperature Measurements To measure irradiance and temperature, install the Meter and the bracket on the solar panel. Note For a spot check measurement, position the Meter directly on the PV panel. The internal, embedded conductive sensor in the back of the Meter automatically takes the temperature reading.

Page 8: External Temperature Probe Connection
External Temperature Probe Connection Connect the temperature probe to the top of the Meter. The screen automatically shows when connected. The icon indicates that the temperature is now read by the external probe. Place the Meter on or beside the PV panel and connect the temperature probe with the suction cup to the underside of the PV panel. - Page 9 Inclination and Cardinal Direction Place the Meter directly onto the PV panel to get accurate tilt. For surfaces of rooftops with inclinations different than 0°, push for 2 seconds to reset the angle and measure the true inclination of a solar panel. Secure a probe to the solar panel with optional electrical or similar tape to assure reliable mounting.
