7. Connect the thermocouple to SolSensor, inserting the yellow plug of the
thermocouple wire into the upper left yellow receptacle labeled TC1 (see Figure
24).
Figure 24. Thermocouple plugged into the TC1 connector.
8. Tape the tip of the thermocouple into firm contact with the module backside, far
enough under the module to avoid the cooler outer edges. When testing single,
free-standing modules, attach the thermocouple tip as shown in Figure 25. For
most accurate temperature measurements, use a wide piece of high temperature
polyester tape. Other types of tape will sag at high temperature, allowing the tip
of the thermocouple to pull away from the backsheet of the module. Use firm
pressure to roll the tape over the thermocouple tip, forcing the tip into intimate
contact with the module backside.
