Data Sheet

DCM1500S
Solar clamp meter
DESCRIPTION
Measuring up to 2000 V DC and 1500 V AC (using the PVHV
Leads), as well as 1500A AC or DC, the DCM1500S is ideal for
use in the installation, maintenance, monitoring and testing
of photovoltaic systems as well standard AC or DC electrical
equipment.
The meter is supplied with both standard 4mm leads as well
as the new PVHV1 (4mm) and PVHV2 (MC4PV) HV lead sets. It
has a large clear backlit display and an automatic torch in the
jaw to assist use in poorly lit areas.
Using the free Megger Link App, the measurement value can
be remotely monitored on a smart device using the built-in
Bluetooth®. This will give a live trend graph and offer the
ability to sample and log the values for later analysis.
The smart data-hold expands the standard hold function by
giving the operator an audible warning if the “held” reading
increases by 50 counts or above. Min/Max hold provides the
ability to measure the maximum and minimum values over a
period of time, with each value selectable in turn.
Other features include a High Frequency Rejection Filter, inrush
current measurement, internal data logging, a non-contact volt
seek mode and manual DC Amp zeroing
In addition to voltage and current measurement the
DCM1500S has the ability to measure Resistance, Diode,
Capacitance, temperature and Frequency.
The DCM1500S is safety rated to IEC 61010-1 and IEC/
EN61010-2-033 CAT IV 600V, and CAT III 1000V
APPLICATION
The DCM1500S is designed to be used on electrical systems
and equipment, including Solar/Photovoltaic installations
where, there is a need to measure current, volts, resistance
and frequency. It is therefore intended for use while installing,
maintaining, fault-finding or monitoring those systems.
The tactile barrier below the jaws of the instrument ensures a
safe working distance for the operator’s hand when measuring
current on live uninsulated conductors, although additional
personal protection must still be used.
The Smart Hold allows increases in measurements to be
monitored with an audible tone.
The Max/Min and In-rush modes enable maximum load
currents from equipment to be identified such as start-up
currents to motors and heaters.
