photovoltaic installation test instrument capable of performing all of the electrical tests
required by IEC 62446, including:
Earth continuity @ 200mA
AC / DC voltage using the 4mm terminals
Open circuit module, string or array voltage
Voltage polarity
Short circuit module, string or array current
Module, string or array insulation resistance at 250V, 500V and 1000V
Probe to probe insulation resistance at 250V, 500V and 1000V
AC or DC Operating current
String I-V curve test

2 Safety Notes
In order to ensure safe operation of this instrument, all notes and warnings in these
instructions must be observed at all times.
All test leads must be securely attached to the PV system under test. Always
use the solar PV connectors supplied or alligator clips to connect test leads to
the PV system under test. Test probes must not be used without alligator clips.
Never disconnect the test leads whilst any measurement is active. This may
result in electrical arcing and may damage the PV200/210.
The PV200/210 is intended for use in a dry environment only.
The PV200/210 RED and BLACK 4mm test terminals may be used to make
measurements on circuits rated up to CAT III 300 V AC/DC with reference to
earth. Do not connect the PV200/210 to voltages which may exceed this rating.
