3. Intended use
This product is designed to measure the intensity of solar radiation. It can record the maximum, minimum and average
solar radiation reading. It can also freeze the current reading on the display. The readings can be displayed in W/m
2
or
BTU/(ft²xh). The meter can be used to measure solar radiation (taking into account the angle of incidence), to check
the energy transmittance of tinted windows, and to measure the best angle of incidence for solar panels and solar
water heaters. It also provides a quick and reliable way to determine the efficiency of a PV or solar power system.
Measurements at different locations can be taken to determine the best location for a new solar power system. The
meter can also be used to measure the radiation intensity in laboratories or for agricultural purposes.
The product must only be used in dry areas. Contact with moisture (e.g. in a bathroom) must be avoided under all
circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, do not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the product for purposes other than
those described above may damage the product. In addition, improper use can cause hazards such as a short circuit
or fire. Read the operating instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Only make this product available to
third parties together with its operating instructions.
