The Seaward Solar PV:1525-IV verifies safety and functionality in PV systems rated up to 1500V DC and 25A. It enables a suite of checks like earth continuity, insulation quality, voltage under open-circuit conditions, and short-circuit current levels.
The PV:1525PV-IV has IV curve tracing. This function visualises module performance and diagnoses potential faults, displayed on a bright colour screen.
Equipped with Bluetooth functionality, the PV:1525-IV allows wireless syncing with mobile apps for efficient test record capture, labelling, and firmware management. The instrument also includes illuminated controls, internal memory for test storage, and a manual mode.
