2 Fluke Corporation Fluke 283 FC/PV True-RMS CAT III 1500 V Solar Digital Multimeter and Wireless Current Clamp User-Defined Limit Gauge On large-scale PV projects where you’re taking repetitive measurements and expect consistent results, the user-defined limit gauge becomes a vital time-saving tool. The adjustable limit gauge can trigger audio and visual indications whenever a measurement falls outside your expected range. This saves you time letting you quickly evaluate measurement results, increasing your confidence in the system's performance, and helping to identify potential issues that need to be addressed. With the dedicated limit gauge button, you can easily turn the limit gauge warnings on and off, set up new measurement parameters, or select from previously used parameter profiles. This customization streamlines troubleshooting, allowing you to quickly identify measurement deviations or errors, and helps maintain optimum solar installation performance. CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 1000 V Safety Rated CAT III 1500 V DC systems are now a standard in utility scale PV systems, offering significant cost savings and efficiency improvements to facility owners. These systems operate at higher voltage levels, allowing each inverter to handle more energy, enable longer strings of connected panels, and reduce the need for additional wiring and inverters. Consequently, standard CAT IV inverter outputs of 800 V AC or higher are more prevalent, making it crucial to prioritize safety and accuracy in measurements. The CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 1000 V rated 283 FC multimeter and a283 FC wireless current clamp meet the safety requirements for test equipment (IEC 61010-2-032) corresponding to the overvoltage category level of the PV array electrical installation (IEC 61730-1). Combine these with CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV

1000 V rated TL175-HV Premium Silicone

Test Leads, CAT III 1500 V MC4 connectors and you’ve got a comprehensive frontline troubleshooting solution that offers safe and accurate voltage measurement for troubleshooting everything from the inverters, combiners, strings of modules, or individual modules. Unique Multimeter Readiness Self-Check The size and location of utility-scale solar sites can present unique challenges whether they’re logistical, environmental, or testing related. Because of that, you want to have confidence that your meter is fully functional, capturing the right data every time so you don’t have to do the same job twice. The 283 FC features a unique integrated multimeter readiness self- check, that ensures your meter is in proper working order before you take your next reading. This quick self-check is an additional readiness test that gives you valuable insight to the status of your meter’s calibration, battery life availability, test lead functionality, and AC/DC voltage measurement functionality so you can be confident that your meter is ready to work when you are.

4 Fluke Corporation Fluke 283 FC/PV True-RMS CAT III 1500 V Solar Digital Multimeter and Wireless Current Clamp Wireless Current Clamp The a283 FC True-RMS wireless current clamp is designed to simplify the troubleshooting process without compromising on safety and reliability. It can measure both AC and DC current up to 60 A, ensuring precise and reliable readings for a wide range of applications including solar installations, electrical systems, and industrial equipment. With its non-contact design, the clamp allows for safe connections without the need to touch live wires, enabling you to close the clamp in a cabinet and take measurements from a safe distance. It carries a CAT III 1500 V, CAT IV 1000 V rating that matches the safety rating of the 283 FC. Wireless connectivity allows for convenient transmission of measurements, eliminating the hassle of tangled wires and allowing you to install the current clamp in an enclosure so you can safely measure at a distance. The clamp has a thin jaw design to ensure easy access to combiner boxes and tight spaces, enhancing overall efficiency in your measurement process. Voltage and Current at the same time With the 283 FC digital multimeter and a283 FC wireless current clamp, you can measure voltage and current at the same time and automatically calculate VA power. This eliminates the hassle of having to change your measurement setup to capture both measurements and eliminates the need to manually calculate power in the field. Voltage and current are time-stamped, eliminating any concerns about potential disparities being caused by environmental factors. You can also view more than one measurement at a time allowing you to monitor additional parameters like DC amperage or voltage, giving you even more insights into system performance. Logging/Saving The 283 FC offers convenient logging and saving features that set it apart from other digital multimeters. With a built-in real-time clock, each measurement can be time- and date-stamped for accurate recordkeeping. The multimeter has internal memory to save and log measurements, which can then be easily transferred to Fluke Connect for further analysis. Additionally, you have the flexibility to customize logging durations and intervals, ensuring the logging process matches the specific needs of the system you are testing. Fluke Connect™ with Fluke Cloud™ Storage Fluke Connect™ compatibility provides convenient features to enhance your troubleshooting experience. As part of the Fluke Connect family, the 283 FC can transmit measurements to a smartphone or tablet for later, detailed analysis. No need to write down the results.
