Testing

The tests included in this manual will insure proper solar panel operation and can be used
to troubleshoot a faulty power system. Included in the Drawing section is a schematic for
a solar panel test fixture which will help the technician with these tests. 

Remove the panel from the Data Transmitter. These tests must be done on a sunny day
between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM (solar time).

4.1.1 Without Load Test - Voltage

This checks the regulator’s

charge termination voltage

which keeps the battery from being overcharged.

(Test Fixture Switches: SW1-V, SW2-w/oL, SW3-no)

!

Volt meter is connected as shown in Figure 1.

Limit: Manufacture’s specification

4.1.2 With Load Test - Power (watts)

Testing with a Load insures that the panel is able to
supply current to charge the battery. The Load®) is
determined by the minimum battery voltage(V) and the
expected charging current (A); R = V÷A. The resistor
power rating is found by multiplying the current(A) by
the Voltage(V).

e.g. 0.6 A Solar panel: 
R=V÷A, R=(12 ÷ 0.6) = 20 

S

P=V×A, P=(12 × 0.6) = 7.2 Watts

(Test Fixture Switches: SW1-V, SW2-w/L, SW3-no)

!

Measure Voltage - Volt meter is connected as
shown in Figure 2.

(Test Fixture Switches: SW1-A, SW2-w/L, SW3-no)

!

Measure Current - Current measurement is shown
in Figure 3; the test fixture uses a 1 Ohm sense
resistor and Volt meter to make this measurement.

!

Calculate Power:  P = V x A
