6.7.2. Carrying out IVCK Tests without remote unit
CAUTION
Check that no remote unit SOLAR03 is currently activated. Otherwise,
select “Unpair” to unpair the current active remote unit (see § 6.2).
The maximum voltage between inputs P, N, E and C is 1500VDC. Do not
measure voltages exceeding the limits given in this manual.
Do not perform test on PV modules/strings connected to DC/AC converter
Standard IEC/EN62446 requires that measurements are performed string by
string. Even if the instrument is designed to manage inrush current for single
strings or strings connected in parallel, we recommend testing one string at
a time accordin
to the standard’s prescriptions.
1. Position the cursor onto IVCK by using the arrow keys
(,) and confirm with ENTER. The display shows the
screen to the side: The message “Remote U. not active”
indicates that no remote unit SOLAR03 is connected to
the instrument (see § 6.2). The following parameters are
shown:
VTest test voltage for insulation measurement
ISO minimum limit for insulation measurement
RPE maximum limit for continuity test
>< calibration resistance of cables for RPE test

2. Use the arrow keys (,) to access the setting of
measurement parameters. The screen on the side
appears on the display. Use the arrow keys (, ) to set
the values. The following options are available:
N. Mod x STR set the number of modules of the
string in range: 1 ÷ 35
N. Str in par. Set the number of strings connected
in parallel in range: 1 ÷ 10
Tol. Voc set percentage tolerance for Voc
measurement in range: 1% ÷ 15% (typical 5%)
Tol. Isc set percentage tolerance for Isc
measurement in range: 1% ÷ 15% (typical 10%)
Iso V. Test set test voltage for insulation
measurement among the options: OFF
(measurement excluded), 250V, 500V, 1000V,
1500VDC
Iso R.Lim set the minimum reference threshold for
insulation measurement among the values:
0.05,0.10,0.23,0.25,0.50,1.00,50M
RPE Lim set the maximum limit for continuity test
among the values: OFF (measurement excluded),
1,2,3,4,5
AVG values the function “RESET” allows zeroing
the average values of Voc and Isc parameters before
starting a new measurement.
AVG Voc, AVG Isc average Voc and Isc values in
the 10 previously saved tests.
