Determine site orientation with the Fluke Solar Irradiance

MARCH 4, 2022

Use the integrated compass on the Fluke IRR1-SOL Irradiance Meter to measure and document roof or site orientation.

+ First perform irradiance, temperature and inclination measurements with the meter turned on and aligned with the panel.

+ If the tilt is above 20 degrees, any compass reading will be inaccurate. The metal in the panel or other surrounding metal objects will also affect the compass reading. This is why another step is necessary to verify the direction.

+ Position the meter away from the panel and any other metal objects and with the tip of the meter facing in the same direction as the panel.

+ Confirm your compass reading.

Moving the Production Line

0    57

Moving or reconfiguring a production line can disrupt a complex and finely tuned system. When a line is moved, electrical distribution systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), lighting, communication circuitry, controls, emergency stop systems, and more are susceptible to unanticipated changes ranging from glitches to outright failures. Glitches and failures at the unit level can in turn cause failures at the system level, such as unexpected tripping of conveyor drive systems, failures of the plant floor communication system, equipment overheating, unsafe electrical systems - and lots of headaches and downtime.
