5.2: Shark 100T Communication and Programming Overview
The Shark 100T Transducer model does not include a display on the front face of the meter. So,
there are no buttons or IrDA Port on the face of the meter. Programming and communication utilize
the RS-485 connection on the back face of the meter shown in section 5.1.2. Once a connection is
established, Communicator EXT 3.0 software can be used to program the meter and communicate to
Shark 100T slave devices.
Meter Connection
To provide power to the meter, use one of the wiring diagrams in Chapter 4 or attach an Aux cable
to GND, L(+) and N(-).
The RS-485 cable attaches to SH, B(-) and A(+) as shown in section 5.1.2.
5.2.1: Factory Initial Default Settings
You can connect to the Shark 100T using the Factory Initial Default Settings. This feature is useful
in debugging or in any situtation where you do not know the meter's programmed settings and want
to find them.
When the Shark 100T is powered up, you have up to 5 seconds to poll the Name Register as shown
in the example below: "How to Connect." You will be connected to the meter with the Factory
Initial Default Settings. The meter continues to operate with these default settings for 5 minutes.
During this time, you can access the meter's Device Profile to ascertain/change meter information.
After the 5 minutes have passed, the meter reverts to the programmed Device Profile settings.

NOTE If you do not connect with the Factory Initial Default Settings
within 5 seconds after powering on the meter, the Device Profile
