Description
Fluke SMFT-1000/PRO Offers
All-in-one test solution that provides a complete PV testing solution that conforms to IEC 62446-1 standard.
Features
- Critial testing features for periodic inspection of PV systems
- Full-sequence safety testing - IEC 62446-1 Category 1: Protective resistance earth RLO, voltage on open circuit (including polarity VOC), short circuit current ISC, and insulation resistance RINS
- System performance testing - IEC 62446-1 Category 2: I-V curve tracing and software analysis with TruTest (sold separately), and irradiance, temperature, tilt, cardinal direction
- Color screen with integrated interface: On-screen instructions provide any easy walkthrough of tests
Keep the leads: Quick and accurate testing saves time and money
It's a hassle to change the configuration of test leads constantly while doing different tests. With the "keep the leads" system, less time is wasted on set-up, and less user errors occur while testing PV systems. Now you can get more testing done in the field in less time.
Automatic testing saves time
Switch this unit to auto test mode to perform an automatic sequence of tests in a variety of combinations:
- With insulation test or without insulation test
- IEC 62446-1 testing for Category 1 or Category 1 and 2
- IEC 62446-1 testing for Protection Class I or Protection Class II
On-location I-V curve results: Compare manufacturer I-V curve data to measured data instantly
While taking an I-V curve reading in the field, this tester will display the curve as it loads in the test data, against the module specifications as defined by the manufacturer. This makes it easy to immediately confirm measurements without the use of a laptop or tablet. Run the I-V curve test on new installations to confirm they are working according to the site specifications, or to test if existing modules or strings are working to their expected performance levels.
Visual inspection
To meet PV system IEC regulations for visual inspections, this tester features a convenient setting in which to record observations directly to the memory. Later, the information can be downloaded to the TruTest software (sold separately) and incorporated into the project report.

TruTest solar data management software
Spend less time processing test results and compiling reports
The reporting necessary to close out projects can be challenging and time-consuming. Cover all your certification and documentation needs through the modern, fast and reliable software platform of TruTest™. This software allows for solar asset management, data storage and reporting on a single platform. Whether you are analyzing panel efficiency through I-V curves, or safety testing the system through the Category 1 test regime in conformance to IEC 62446-1, proper data management is critical for producing easy-to-understand reports for clients. Compatible with the SMFT-1000 multifunction PV tester and performance analyzer, this software allows you to quickly and easily import measurement results directly from your solar multifunction tester to computer, organize and analyze the data, compare individual asset data against previous measurements imported and provide a comprehensive and visual client report.
- Easily manage measurement data from solar site installation and commissioning testing
- Quickly create inspections and reports compliant with IEC 62446-1 and other directives
- I-V curve analysis with easy pass/fail visuals; see changes in I-V curve over multiple site visits
- Easily manage measurement data from solar site installation and commissioning testing
- Compare site data to previous site data to see changes over time
