Introduction
Introduction Page 1
The SHARK multi-parameter controller is a microprocessor based controller capable of
measuring one of the following parameters, pH, ORP, conductivity or flow.
When shipped from the factory, the SHARK is not set to measure any one parameter.
When the SHARK is powered up for the first time, it will display the meter selection
screen where the meter type must be selected. (refer to section 4.6 Meter Selection)
This meter selection screen will only be displayed when the SHARK is powered up for
the first time.
After the user selects a meter type the SHARK will remain set to that meter type until it
is changed with the meter selection menu function in the Utilities menu.
To return the SHARK to its factory settings, the user must re-select the current meter
type from the meter selection menu function. This will override all set-points and return
all settings back to the factory settings.
The SHARK User’s menu has been divided into five main categories
- Calibration, used to calibrate the SHARK with the selected sensor
- Utilities, Used to manually control or override the outputs.
- Setup, used to configure the SHARKs many options
- Diagnostics, used to troubleshoot any problems with the SHARK
- Outputs, used to configure the SHARK’s outputs.
There are two displays on the SHARK. A bright LED numeric display with bar graph on
the outside front panel, and a 2-line, 16-character LCD display on the inside. The LED
readout on the outside panel can be seen several yards away. The distinctive,color-
coded bar graph will immediately indicate if you are within the process parameters that
you set (green), if the control relays are on (yellow) and if you are in alarm condition
(red). This makes diagnosing pump and alarm malfunctions easy. All configuration and
control functions are performed on the LCD menu on the inside front panel.
A universal mounting kit is included for surface,panel and pipe-mount applications. The
1/4 DIN enclosure makes panel-mount cutouts and engineering simple.
SHARK is packaged in a rugged NEMA 4X polycarbonate enclosure making it ideally
suited for heavy-duty applications such as industrial wastewater neutralization, munici-
pal water and wastewater, pulp and paper, and process control.

3.1 Conduit Connections
The Shark has four 1/2” conduit holes, 2 on each side of the enclosure as shown on fig. 2.1.
The unit is shipped with these holes plugged with liquid tight conduit seals. These must be left
in unused holes to maintain the NEMA 4X integrity. Use approved conduit hubs to connect the
conduit, connect these to the conduit before connecting to the enclosure.
Wire Specification: Size and fuse wire accroding to local electrical code. Maximum current not
to exceed 10A when used to power auxillary decvices powered via internal connections.
3.2 A.C. Power Connections
The Shark is available in two power models.
The Shark-240 is designed to operate at 240 VAC.
The Shark-120 is designed to operate at 120 VAC.
To connect power to the Shark, remove the terminal block plug P3 and connect the wiring as
shown below.

Caution:This instrument uses 120 or 240 50/60 Hz AC power. Opening the enclosure
door exposes you to potentially hazardous line power voltage which might be pres-
ent on the terminals of plug P3 and P4. Always remove line power before working in
this area. If the relay contacts on P4 are powered from a seperate source from the
line power on P3, be sure to disconnect that power before proceeding. The Shark flip
out door contains only low voltage and is safe to handle.

Once connected, step through the LCD menus to
select the probe in the order shown. The first two
steps may be skipped if the meter is already con-
figured for pH or ORP and a Differential Probe.
When using a pH probe, it is important to ensure
that the Shark is reading the probe temperature
correctly for accurate temperature compensation.
The ORP probe does not require temperature
compensation, although the Shark can display
process temperature measured by the probe. The
factory temperature calibration is usually accurate
enough that no adjustments are necessary.
Note: Leave 4” to 6”
slack for all wires
connected to the
terminals of P6.
Slack required so
that wires do not
interfere with open-
ing or closing of the
front door.
If the cable of the
differential probe is
cut, the blue
wire is not used.

Once connected, step throught the LCD menus to select the probe in the order
shown. The first two steps may be skipped if the meter is already configured for
a Combination Probe. If a two wire pH probe is used, which has no temperature
sensor, ensure that the Temp. Comp. Override is set to same temperature as
the buffer before calibrating. If a two wire ORP probe is used, you can blank the
Temp display with the T DISP OVERRIDE menu.
The 2 wire version has no
temperature sensor and is
connected via a coaxial wire.
In a pH meter, the user
should set the T COMP
OVERRIDE menu to ON
(Section 4.11) and adjust the
temperature setting to the
actual probe temperature.
In an ORP meter, the user
should set the T.DISP OVER-
RIDE to ON (Section 5.10) to
blank the temperature reading
on the display.
The 4 wire version has two
additional wires for the probe
internal temperature sensor.
Ensure that the T COMP
OVERRIDE or T.DISP
OVERRIDE is OFF.
Note: Leave 4” to 6” slack for
all wires connected to the ter-
minals of P6. Slack required
