Shark® 200T Transducer Quickstart Guide
CAUTION! Installation of the Shark® 200 meter must be performed only by qualified personnel who fol-
low standard safety precautions during all procedures. Those personnel should have appropriate training
and experience with high voltage devices. Appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and protective cloth-
ing are recommended.
During normal operation of the Shark® meter, dangerous voltages flow through many parts of the unit, includ-
ing: Terminals and any connected CTs (Current Transformers) and PTs (Potential Transformers), all I/O Modules
and their circuits. All Primary and Secondary circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents. Avoid
contact with any current-carrying surfaces.
Do not use the meter or any I/O device for primary protection or in an energy-limiting capacity. The meter can
only be used as secondary protection.
IMPORTANT! Refer to your meter’s Installation and Operation Manual for additional safety warnings before
performing installation, wiring, or maintenance of your meter. See the link to the manual, below.
NOTE: This Quickstart Guide gives basic installation, wiring, and programming instructions.For additional meter opera-
tion and programming information, refer to your meter’s Installation and Operation Manual and the Communicator

Connect to the Meter through the RS485 Port:
The Shark® 200 meter has a standard RS485 port that makes connection between the meter and a
laptop PC very simple.The Shark®200 meter’s RS485 port uses standard 2-wire, half duplex architec-
ture.
Factory Initial Default Settings: When the Shark®200 is powered up, for 10 seconds you can
connect to the meter using the Factory Default Settings (even if the Device Profile has been changed).
After 10 seconds, the Device Profile reverts to the actual Device Profile in use. This is one way you can
always connect to the meter. The Factory Initial Default Settings are:
Device Address:1
Baud Rate:57600
Protocol:Modbus RTU

Program CT, PT Ratios:
1. This is the first Device Profile screen. To
return to this screen from another set-
tings screen, click General Settings>CT,
PT Ratios and System Hookup.
2. These are the settings:
a. CT Numerator (enter value you want),

b. PT Numerator (enter value you want),
Denominator (enter value you want),
Multiplier (1, 10, 100, or 1000), PT Fulls-
cale (Calculated automatically)
NOTE: Voltage Full Scale = PT Numerator x PT Multiplier
Current Full Scale = CT Numerator x CT Multiplier
IMPORTANT! Specify Primary and Secondary Voltage in Full Scale (NOT Ratios).
NOTE: You can also enter the Ratios for CT/PT Numerator and Denominator and click the Update CT/
Update PT buttons to let the software calculate the Numerator, Denominator, and Multiplier for you.
You can then empty the Ratio fields and click the Update Ratio buttons to confirm the calculated set-
tings: you will see the same ratios you initially entered.

2. Input a new meter designation into the
field. Note that it is important to name
each meter individually, since the meter
name is used to name the log databases
when logs are downloaded.
See Chapter 8 in the software manual
for an explanation of the other settings
