The 16S is a turn key PV Cell testing solar simulator. The single output of the 16S-300-002 produces full spectrum sunlight (AM1.5) and is a class "A" solar simulator. The 16S-002 comes with a vertical beam adapter that redirects the light beam to point downward. The spot size is typically 2.25 inches with an 1 sun output intensity.

By varying the current using the control knob on the power supply, the intensity can be varied between 80 and 100% of maximum. The intensity can be varied further from 10% and 100% with the optional "Attenuation Kit" available from Solar Light Co.

> Optional PMA2100 Radiometer and PMA2144 Class II Pyranometer to measure simulator output
> UV and Air Mass 0, 1.5 spectra available

Description:

The 16S solar simulator accurately replicates full spectrum sunlight and meets the latest standards for light sources by ASTM. Many of the ASTM standards requiring the G151 and G155 standards can be accomplished with the 16S-002. The 16S-002 can be used to test solar cells according to ASTM standards E948-95, and G173.

* Vertical Output is an option for the 2cm and 3cm models and requires additional optics which are not included with the standard 2cm and 3cm units.

NOTE: The PMA2144 Pyranometer will become saturated over 4000 w/m²so an attenuation filter may be required.

Solar Light provides free telephone technical support for the life of our products. We also provide a 1 year Standard Warranty on all of our products covering parts and labor.
> Extended Warranty Plans are also available.

Optional Equipment:

> Dose Control System - The Dose Control System is an integral part of conducting precision sunlight exposure testing. The Dose Control System allows the monitoring and controlling of the output of the 16S-002. It cumulates the amount of light being outputted and alerts you when your preset dose has been reached. This features allows you to expose a precise amount of light to the solar cell.

Typical Maintenance:

Xenon arc lamps need to be replaced after 800 hours of use or once lamp begins to gray.
Lamp alignment should be checked annually by dealer or Solar Light Technician.
