sauermann SL 100 Solar Meter
Product Specifications
- Product Name: SL 100 Solarimeter
- Manufacturer: Sauermann Industries
- Measurement Units: W/m2
- Power Source: Alkaline Batteries
- Battery Life: Minimum of 72 hours
Device Description
The SL 100 is a portable autonomous solarimeter designed for measuring solar
irradiation. It is used for controlling photovoltaic and thermal installations
on test or on site.
Set the Language
Press the French or English keys to choose the language between French or
English.
Irradiance
Upon switching on, the instrument measures and displays the instantaneous
value of solar power in W/m2. This value provides information about local
sunshine conditions.
Radiation Exposure or Global Irradiation
The instrument measures and displays the irradiance while also calculating
and displaying the measurement duration, average value, radiation exposure, or
global irradiation.
Power Source
When equipped with alkaline batteries, the instrument can operate for a
minimum of 72 hours. A symbol indicates the remaining battery power, and if it
is low, the instrument saves the current measurement and switches off.
Quick Start Guide
The portable autonomous solarimeter measures the solar irrigation for the control of photovoltaic and thermal installations on test or on site.

Irradiance
Once switched on, the instrument measures and displays twice a second the instantaneous value of solar power (or irradiance) in W/m2. This value gives information to users about sunshine local conditions.
Display: Solar power W/m2 Maximum value Minimum Value
Radiation exposure or global irradiation
The instrument measures twice a second the irradiance and displays it, while memorizing minimum and maximum values. From these data, it calculates and displays the measurement duration: average value, Radiation exposure or global irradiation.
From start screen, the operator have access to energy measurement over a period controlled by timer and clock, he proceeds as follows:
Access to exposure measurement and in sunshine control Irr. Measurement is not
launched yet.
Launch of the energy accumulation in Wh/m² visualised by the “On” pictogram
which flashes. The chronometer starts, it indicates seconds-minutes- hours-day
(max: 03D00H00M00S). First average values and accumulated energy values
appear.
Switching to second screen to recall max and min.
Stop of measurement, ‘’Reset’’ is displayed.
Power source
When the instrument is equipped with alkaline batteries, it can operate for 72 hours minimum. A symbol informs the user about electric power remaining. If battery is low, less than 1 bar on the pictogram, the instrument stops measuring, save current measurement and switches off.
Maintenance
The SL 100 instrument conception allows a reduce maintenance which consists in changing batteries and cleaning the sensor with a cloth slightly dampened.
Regular checking
Like most measuring instruments, it is strongly recommended to regularly control and calibrate SL 100. Return to the manufacturer each year will provide necessary metrological traceability.
