5.1: Shark 100 Communication
The Shark 100 meter provides two independent Communication Ports. The first port, Com 1, is an
Optical IrDA Port. The second port, Com 2, provides RS-485 communication speaking Modbus
ASCII, Modbus RTU and DNP 3.0 (V3 and V4) protocols.
5.1.1: IrDA Port (Com 1)
The Shark 100 meter's Com 1 IrDA Port is on the face of the meter. The IrDA Port allows the unit
to be set up and programmed using a PDA or remote laptop without the need for a communication
cable. Just point at the meter with an IrDA-equipped PC or PDA and configure it.
Communicator EXT COPILOT is a Windows CE software package that works with the Shark's
IrDA Port to configure the port and poll readings. Refer to the Communicator EXT User's Manual
for details on programming and accessing readings.
