The Shark® 100 comes in either of two models - the Meter/Transducer or the
Transducer only.
Shark® 100 Meter/Digital Transducer
Meter and transducer in one compact unit. Features an IrDA port as well as either an
RS485 or RJ45 port, and can be programmed using the faceplate of the meter. ANSI
or DIN mounting may be used (see Figure 2.1).
Shark® 100T Digital Transducer
A Digital Transducer only unit providing
either RS485 or RJ45 communication via
Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII and DNP3 (V3
and V4) protocols. The unit is designed to
install using DIN Rail Mounting (see
Section 3.4).
Shark® 100B Meter/Digital Transducer
The Building Automation and Control
Network (BACnet®), described in the
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-1995, is one
of the most widely used building management systems protocols. The Shark® 100B
meter has embedded BACnet/IP communication. It communicates in native BACnet/
IP over Ethernet to seamlessly integrate with most building automation/control sys-
tems. The Shark® 100B meter's BACnet/IP has 62 predefined BACnet objects that let
you track up to 62 measurements. No programming or mapping is necessary to use
the BACnet objects. (The Shark® 50B also supports BACnet communication - see the
next page for a description.)
