5.9 BENNINGSUN2 (optional)
5290 / 06/2023 en BENNING PV 1-1+ 35
Procedure
1. Connect the PVsafety measuring lines to the device [}page25].
2. Bring the PVsafety measuring lines into contact with the first PVstring of the PVgenerator.
Make sure that the respective safety measuring lines are contacted properly and safely with
the PVgenerator.
If DCvoltage is applied to the PVsafety measuring lines, the PVopen-circuit voltage will be
measured automatically.
3. Connect the red 4mm safety measuring line to the device [}page25].
4. Bring the red 4mm safety measuring line into contact with a metal part (frame or mounting
system) of the PVgenerator.
If the PVgenerator is properly earthed, you can alternatively measure the insulating
resistance against a safe earth connection (e.g. equipotential busbar).
If the PVgenerator is not earthed, first measure the insulating resistance against a metal
part (frame or mounting system) of the PVgenerator and then against a safe earth
connection (e.g. equipotential busbar).
5. Select the desired insulation test voltage of 250V‑DC, 500V‑DC or 1 000V‑DC. To do this,
press the “V
ISO
“key until the desired insulation test voltage is shown on the digital display.
6. Start the automatic PVmeasurement. To do this, press the “Auto”key.
7. Press the “Save”key to store the measured value to the next free storage location available.
8. Repeat this procedure for all identical PVstrings.
After completing the test, you can check in the measured value memory whether the
measured values are identical and within the maximum deviation range of 5%.
5.9 BENNINGSUN2 (optional)
5.9.1 Pairing the device with the BENNINGSUN2
Requirements
• BENNING SUN2 (optional accessories)
• Please observe the specifications given in the operating manual of the BENNINGSUN2.
• Make sure that there are no electric devices in direct vicinity.
Procedure
1. Switch off both the device and the BENNINGSUN2.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the two keys “Temperature” and “Angle of inclination” of the
BENNINGSUN2 as well as the two keys “R
PE
” and “Auto” of the device for approx.
2seconds until the two devices are paired.
The device indicates the successful pairing via an acoustic signal and shows the serial
number of the paired BENNINGSUN2 as well as the “W / m²”symbol on the digital display.
The pairing remains enabled until the devices are unpaired.
