Error Message Remedy
The internal fuse has blown. Refer to section 8.5 in the
operating instructions for details on how to replace the fuse.
The electronics within the PV150+ have reached the
maximum safe temperature. This can occur after repeated
short circuit current measurements at high current levels.
Allow the unit to cool down before further use.
The DC short circuit current has exceeded the maximum
rated value of 15A. The measurement sequence has been
aborted.
Pairing with Survey 200R
1. Make sure there are no other units operating nearby.
2. Turn off both the PV150+ and Survey 200R unit.
3. Press and hold the Survey 200R ON/OFF keys, keep both keys pressed.

5. The top line of the LCD will display Rpe ohms.
Solarlink
1. Pair the PV150+ and Survey 200R.
2. To enable/disable Solarlink, press and hold the Survey 200R temperature key, then
momentarily press the OK key.
3. When Solarlink is active there is a flashing icon above the temperature key.
4. If the Survey 200R is within range, the PV150+ will indicate the measured irradiance.
5. If the Survey 200R is not within range, or the measured value is outside the measuring
range the PV150+ irradiance value will be replaced with “- - - -”.
Changing Auto Shutdown Time
1. Turn the PV150+ unit off.
2. Press and hold the NULL key, then press both the ON/OFF keys together. Keep holding
the NULL key.
3. The display will show “OFF” on line 1, and the turnoff time on line 2 (in minutes).
4. Keep holding the NULL key and press the Viso key. Each press of the Viso key will
increment the turnoff time.
5. Increment beyond 10 to set the time back to 1 minute.
