FOREWORD

Solar meter: a device used to measure solar power.

APPLICATIONS

• Transmission measurement is most suitable for measuring the effectiveness of the solar film.
• Solar radiation measurement.
• Car windows light intensity measurement.
• Optimal incident angle for the solar panel.
• Measurement of the sun’s transmission through transparent and film glass
• Convenient, no need to adjust, data displayed clearly

FEATURES

• Overload display OL.
• Select either W/m2 or BTU / (ft2*h) units1 Stable for long use.
• Power off: Manual on/off by push button, or auto shut off after 15 minutes

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES

POWER BUTTON:

• Press the “ ” button to turn ON or turn off.

ZERO BUTTON:

• Press the “ZERO “button for the zero adjustment if any digits is appear.

UNIT BUTTON:

• BTU (ft2*h) or W/m² unit selection.

HOLD DATA HOLD BUTTON:

• Press HOLD to enable or disable the data hold function.

RANG BUTTON

• If  display overloaded “OL”. In this case, press the “ ” button, and “2000” or your acquired value then comes up.

TEST PROCEDURE

• Press the ZERO button for the zero adjustment if any digits is appear
• If performing the zero adjustment after powering on, several digits may not disappear. In this case, perform the zero adjustment again.
• Measure your car’s headlights:
• Turn ON your car’s headlights. Then turn ON the solar meter and “000.0” appears on the screen. Put the device down close to the headlights. Switch between high beam and low beam, and light intensity values appear on the screen. Both the right and left headlights must be tested. Note the values and put them in your car for reference. (Picture 2)
• Measure the effect of solar insulation of your vehicle’s windows:
• Press the “ ” button to turn ON the solar meter, “000.0” appears on the screen. Aim the device at the sun and close to a window, and the intensity appears on the screen. Open the window and aim the device at the sun. Compare the value against that acquired when the window is closed to understand the efficiency of the window’s solar film. Test your new car and preserve the measurements in it. After that, test it at least once every year. (Picture 2)
• NOTE：When the light sensor cover is not attached “CAP” is indicated. Make sure that it is attached. If performing the zero adjustment after powering on, several digits may not disappear. In this case, perform the zero adjustment again.

Picture 2:

To test the sun’s intensity, put the device up close to the i d Turn ON the headlights and put the device down close to them to test their intensity

Picture 3

To test the sun’s intensity, put the device close to the window

• lotion effect of your house’s windows:
• Close the window. Press the “ ” button on your solar meter, and “000.0” comes up on the screen. Put the device close to the window and aim it at the sun. Compare the value against that acquired when the window is closed and the device is placed at the same position, in order to understand the window’s heat efficiency.
