Industrial & Commercial Energy Metering

The Perfect Upgrade Solution to Existing Mechanical Meters

The Shark® 270 meter is an ideal upgrade to non-communicating mechanical or older solid-state meters. Replacing an existing meter with a Shark® 270 unit transforms basic metering capability into a communicating solution. The standard Shark® 270 unit has an RS485 Modbus port. With the optional Ethernet module, the meter can communicate over Ethernet to send Modbus data to most standard energy management and building automation systems.

Illustration of the Shark 270 meter, showing its compact design.

Diagnose Power Quality Events at Incoming Circuits

With the Shark® 270 meter, a facility manager or engineer can view power quality events that occurred at the incoming service point, allowing analysis to determine the cause of these events and implement remediation. The Shark® 270 meter's power quality information lets users see how many and what types of events occurred and determine if these events could have affected their installed sensitive equipment.

Power quality events include records of faults, voltage surges and sags, harmonics, imbalances, power factor, and many other indices. This data is automatically collected and stored in remote databases for system-wide analysis.

Email and Data Push Features Perfect for Cloud and IOT (Internet of Things) Solutions

The Shark® 270 meter's Ethernet capability offers many advanced features useful for industrial and commercial applications. In addition to communicating via Modbus TCP, the meter can be configured to send email on alarm conditions. These emails alert facility managers to high demand conditions, alarms, and other issues that affect energy reliability and cost.

Emails can also include periodic notification of metered values, such as demand and energy consumption. This is useful for sending data to energy dashboards and other cloud software applications, and is essential for IOT applications. The Shark® 270 meter also supports data push to cloud servers using the JSON structure, such as Lucid's BuildingOS, sending up to 15 meter readings.
