2.1.3: V-Switch
Key Technology
The Shark ® 200 meter is equipped with V-Switch™ key technology, a virtual firmware-based switch that allows you
to enable meter features through software communication. This V-Switch™ key technology allows the unit to be
upgraded after installation without removing it from service.
Available V-Switch™ key upgrades:
V-Switch™ key 1 (-V1): Multifunction measurement.
V-Switch™ key 2 (-V2): Multifunction measurement and 2 MegaBytes* for datalogging.
V-Switch™ key 3 (-V3): Multifunction measurement with harmonics and 2 MegaBytes* for datalogging.
V-Switch™ key 4 (-V4): Multifunction measurement with harmonics, 2 MegaBytes* for datalogging, and
V-Switch™ key 5 (-V5): Multifunction measurement with harmonics, 3 MegaBytes* for datalogging,
V-Switch™ key 6 (-V6): Multifunction measurement with harmonics, 4 MegaBytes* for datalogging,
* NOTE: Because the memory is flash-based rather than NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory), some
sectors are reserved for overhead, erase procedures, and spare sectors for long-term wear reduction.
