Connecting the PV-100 to an SMA Cluser Controlller
Показать описание
Learn how to connect the Apogee PV-100 Panel Monitoring Package to the SMA cluster controller with this step-by-step guide. In this video, we will show you how to connect the CS240 back-of-panel module temperature sensor, ST-150 ambient air temperature sensor, and the TS-100 fan-aspirated radiation shield.

-TS-100 fan-aspirated radiation shield
-SP-214 silicon-cell pyranometers
00:36 HOW TO CONNECT THE CS240
The back-of-panel module temperature sensor comes with kapton tape to mount it to the back of your solar panel.
The wiring for the sensor is seven conductors: two black, two red, two white, and a shield wire. To connect the sensor to the SMA controller, we will not be using the black conductors. We will be working on terminal X7 and starting on row B, which is the bottom one. The first terminal is going to be the shield. The second is going to be either of the white conductors, it doesn’t matter which one you use here. The third is going to be either of the red conductors, again it doesn’t matter which one you use. The fourth is the remaining white conductor. The fifth is the remaining red wire.
We can check that we have wired the back-of-panel temperate correctly we can check the cluster controller. Push down, until you get to meteorology. Then we can see our second one says module temperature and it is giving a reading right now, that looks accurate.
02:14 HOW TO CONNECT THE ST-150
The air temperature sensor is a Class A PRT. First we will slide it into the TS-100 radiation shield. If you order the PS-100 package, the sensor will come already pre-glued into the port that goes into the side of the TS-100 shield.
The ST-150 comes with 5 conductors: a shield, a red, a black, a green, and a white. To wire the sensor to the controller, we will be working on terminal X7, row A. The shield will go in the first terminal. The second will be the white conductor. The third is going to be the black. The fourth terminal is going to be the green conductor. The fifth will be the red conductor.
Again, we will check that it is connected by going to meteorology and we see ambient air temperature.
03:32 HOW TO CONNECT THE TS-100
To power the TS-100 fan, it needs a 12 volt power supply. The PV-100 includes a DC to DC converter that takes the already available 24 volt DC power from the controller and the converts it to 12 volts.
The TS-100 has seven conductors, however, we only need the red and black for our application. Connected already to the converter is the 24 volts powered off the 24 volt power supply. We will connect the black conductor to the middle one, and the red wire to the end. As the red wire is connected you will hear the fan power on and you will also feel the air coming off the fan.
