Introduction
Introduction Page 1
The SHARKTX & SHARKTXP multi-parameter transmitter is a microprocessor based
transmitter capable of measuring one of the following parameters, pH, ORP, conductivi-
ty 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 4.5 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 Users 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 problems with the Shark or sensor
- Outputs, used to configure the Shark’s 4 to 20mA output.
SHARKTX is packaged in a rugged NEMA 4X polycarbonate enclosure with a universal
mounting kit for surface, panel and pipe-mount applications. This enclosure is perfect for
stand-alone or panel-mount operation.
SHARKTXP enclosure is also polycarbonate with a NEMA 4X front panel. Panel mount,
and DIN rail mounting hardware are supplied.
