TRI-SEN – Functions_205
9. tRi-sen – Functions

9.1 overview

The TRI-SEN measures the irradiation, cell temperature and angle
of inclination. The measured data are wirelessly transferred di-
rectly to the TRI-KA. The data are used to convert the character-
istic curve measured by the TRI-KA into a STC characteristic curve.
(STC – Standard Test Conditions: irradiation 1000 W/m
AM = 1.5, module temperature 25°C).
If no wireless connection can be established between the TRI-KA
and TRI-SEN during measurement of the characteristic curve, the
data are temporarily stored in the TRI-SEN and must subsequent-
ly be synchronised with the TRI-KA (chapter 10.1).
The irradiation and cell temperature are not necessary for simple
measurements of the open-circuit voltage and/or short-circuit cur-
rent.

9.2 Measuring the cell temperature

When switched on, the TRI-SEN signals its readiness for operation
with a short beep. The TRI-SEN has a temperature sensor at the
top end for contactless measurement of the cell temperature. The
sensor is held directly onto a solar cell.
Press the °C temperature measurement button for at least one
second until you hear a beep indicating that the device is now
measuring the temperature.
The measured temperature is shown on the screen while the °C
button is pressed. When the temperature button is released, the
screen changes to the average temperature of the measurements
taken. The number of measurements is shown in brackets. It is
recommended to measure the temperature at least 3 times be-
fore measuring the characteristic curve and at least 3 times after.
The average temperature is included when converting the meas-
ured characteristic curves to the STC characteristic curves. The
temperature should be measured at various points of the module
surface. The average temperature is updated with each new
measurement.
