DUAL ORIENTATIONS
IRRADIANCE SENSOR (3S-2IS)

Special Solution for dual orientation plants:

3S-2IS model is specially developed to calculate the Performance Ratio (PR) for the dual orientation
PV plants, as it calculates the average irradiance value as per the number of panels in each direction.
Installation directions of panels in PV power plants and the number of panels in these directions may
be different. The user will be able to set the number of panels in each orientation for the correct
calculations. 3S-2IS special design allows simultaneous connection of two Irradiance Sensors, two
Module Temperature Sensors, Ambient Temperature Sensor and Wind Speed Sensor.

The number of panels in both directions, to which the sensors are connected to, is entered into the
electronic card via 3S-2IS Configuration Interface. The total effective irradiance and total effective
module temperature can be calculated and communicated to the datalogger via Modbus RTU
protocol. By using these values, the accurate Performance Ratio can be calculated in the monitoring
systems.

Mounting
Systems

SEVEN produces custom designed mounting systems for easy sensor installation in site, especially for
Rooftop projects. It is a tower combining different sensors as per the installation requirements.

SEVEN Mounting System is a custom product designed as per the site conditions and the sensors to be
mounted. It is made of Chrome as it is strong and has a high resistance against the Weather conditions.

Common Modbus Register Map

A common input register map has been created for all SEVEN Modbus devices.

SEVEN Modbus devices can be configured to operate in different communication parameters. The table
that follows describes each supported bus protocol.

Baud Rate 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400

Parity None, Even, Odd
Stop Bit 1, 2 (only at None parity)
Factory Default 9600 Baud, 8N1, address: 1

The following Modbus data can be read individually or in blocks:

Read carefully the notes at the bottom of the table about the parameters.
You can find which parameter is included in which sensors in the matching matrix after the table.
