[0041] Furthermore, a control component is provided in the tester host 1, and the control component is used to control the connection between the first connector 101 and the second connector 102 and the control main board 107, so that the control main board 107 is connected to the object to be tested after the indicator light 104 is tested.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control component includes a test button 2 connected to one side of the tester host 1. The test button 2 has two second contacts 106 located in the tester host 1. The two second contacts 106 are connected to the first connector 101 and the second connector 102 respectively.

If the indicator light 104 is off, it means that they are connected in reverse.

[0050] After the wiring is correct, press the test button 2. The test button 2 pushes the second contact 106 to contact the first contact 105, so that the control main board 107 is connected to the object to be tested.

The structure of the control main board 107 and the tester host 1 and the detection principle of the photovoltaic cell are all prior art, and this application will not repeat them. After the detection is completed, release the test button 2, and the force of the spring 203 pushes the test button 2 to reset, so that the second contact 106 is separated from the first contact 105, and the support rod 202 releases the pressure on the normally closed contact switch 3, so that the normally closed contact switch 3 is reset and closed.
