Shark® 200 Meter Quickstart Guide

Safety Precautions

⚠️ CAUTION! Installation of the Shark® 200 meter must be performed only by qualified personnel who follow 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 clothing are recommended.

During normal operation of the Shark® meter, dangerous voltages flow through many parts of the unit, including: 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 operation and programming information, refer to your meter's Installation and Operation Manual and the CommunicatorPQATM, MeterManagerPQATM, and EnergyPQA.com™™ Software User Manual on EIG's website:

Mechanical Installation

NOTE: Do not overtighten nuts. The maximum installation torque is 0.4 Newton-Meter.

The Shark® 200 meter supports two primary mounting types:

• ANSI Installation: Uses 4.0" Round form studs.
• DIN Installation: Uses DIN Mounting brackets for 92mm Square form.

For DIN installation, remove (unscrew) the ANSI studs.

Electrical Installation

Select the appropriate diagram for your application:

• WYE direct, 3 phase, 4 wire: Shows connection for a WYE direct system.
• WYE with PTs, 3 phase, 4 wire: Shows connection for a WYE system using Potential Transformers (PTs).
• Delta direct, 3 phase, 3 wire: Shows connection for a Delta direct system.
• Delta with PTs, 3 phase, 3 wire: Shows connection for a Delta system using Potential Transformers (PTs).

NOTE: Other wiring configurations are available. See the Shark 200 meter User Manual (see page QS-1 for the download link).

Connecting to the Meter via RS485 Port

The Shark® 200 meter features a standard RS485 port for simple connection to a laptop PC. The RS485 port uses standard 2-wire, half duplex architecture.

Connection Steps:

1. Connect the meter to the PC using an RS485 cable. An RS485 to USB connector can be ordered from EIG's website: https://www.electroind.com/product/rs485-to-usb-communication-converter/.
2. Open the CommunicatorPQATM software (refer to page QS-1 for download link).
3. Click 'Connect' in the Icon Bar.
4. In the 'Connect' screen, ensure your settings match the displayed defaults (use pull-down menus).
5. Click 'Connect'. The Device Status screen will confirm the connection. Click OK to close it.
6. Click the 'Profile' button on the Icon bar.
7. The Device Profile screen opens. Use the Tree menu on the left to select settings screens. Click a plus sign to view options.

Advanced Configuration

Program CT, PT Ratios

To configure CT and PT settings:

1. From the Device Profile screen, click General Settings > CT, PT Ratios and System Hookup.
2. Configure the following settings:
   • CT Numerator (Primary): Enter the desired value.
   • CT Denominator (Secondary): This is display only.
   • CT Multiplier: Choose 1, 10, or 100.
   • CT Fullscale: Calculated automatically.
   • PT Numerator (Primary): Enter the desired value.
   • PT Denominator (Secondary): Enter the desired value.
   • PT Multiplier: Choose 1, 10, 100, or 1000.
   • PT Fullscale: Calculated automatically.

Formulas:

• 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 Ratios and click 'Update CT'/'Update PT' buttons for software calculation. Emptying Ratio fields and clicking 'Update Ratio' confirms settings.

See Chapter 8 in the software manual for additional screen settings instructions (or click Help > Contents from the CommunicatorPQATM software's Main screen).

Program Communications

1. Click General Settings > Communications.
2. The screen shows default settings for the meter's IrDA (COM1) and RS485 (COM2) ports. Adjust settings as needed for your application.

Program Meter Time

The meter is preset to Eastern time. To change the meter time:

1. From the Main screen's Title bar, click Tools > Set Device Time.
2. Enter the time manually or click 'Use PC Time' to synchronize with your computer's time.
3. Click 'Send'.

NOTE: For multiple time synchronization methods, see Chapter 8, Section 8.1.2 in the software manual (or click Help > Contents from the Main screen).

Program Meter Name

To assign a name or ID to the meter:

1. From the Device Profile screen, click General Settings > System Settings.
2. Enter a new meter designation in the field. Naming each meter individually is important for naming log databases when logs are downloaded.

See Chapter 8 in the software manual for explanations of other settings.

Saving and Loading Profiles

IMPORTANT!

After making changes to the meter's Device Profile, click 'Load Profile' at the bottom of the Device Profile screen to send the new settings to the meter. The meter will reboot, and you will need to reconnect.

You can also click 'Save Profile' to save your changes without sending them to the meter.
