This unit is perfect for new metering applications and as a simple replacement of existing analog meters. The Shark® meter excels in metering energy accurately, exceeding ANSI C12.20 (0.2%) and IEC 687 (0.2%) energy measurement standards. The unit utilizes high speed DSP technology with high resolution A/D conversion to provide revenue certifiable accuracy for Utility Billing, Substation Metering, Submetering and Critical Metering applications.
Applications
Power Generation
V-Switch™ Technology
The Shark® 100 meter is equipped with EIG’s exclusive V-Switch™ technology. This technology allows users to upgrade and add features as needed by using communication commands, even after the meter is installed.
Available V-Switches:
Traceable Watt-Hour Test Pulse for Accuracy Verification
The Shark® 100 device is a traceable revenue meter. It contains a utility grade test pulse allowing power providers to verify and confirm that the meter is performing to its rated accuracy. This is an essential feature required of all billing grade meters.
Additional Features Include:
Advanced Communication Capability with IrDA Interface
The Shark® 100 meter provides two independent communication ports with advanced features.
Back Mounted Communication Port with KYZ Pulse
RS485 (Option 485P) – This port allows RS485 communication using Modbus or DNP 3.0 Protocols. Baud rates are from 9600 to 57.6k.
KYZ Pulse – In addition to the RS485, the meter also includes a KYZ pulse mapped to positive energy. This is a fixed energy pulse. Pulse values are:
Voltage Level Class 10 Models Class 2 Models
Optional 10/100BaseT Ethernet
Ethernet (Option INP10) – 10/100BaseT Ethernet with Modbus TCP protocol.

Front Mounted IrDA Communication
Uniquely, the Shark® meter also has an optical IrDA port, allowing the unit to be set up and programmed using a remote laptop PC without need for a communication cable. To configure the meter, just point at it with an IrDA-equipped PC.
The Shark® 100 meter is ruggedly designed for harsh electrical applications in both high voltage and low voltage power systems. This is especially important in Power Generation, Utility Substation and Critical User applications. The structural and electrical design of this meter was developed based on the recommendations and approval of many of our utility customers.
High Isolation Universal Voltage Inputs
Voltage inputs allow measurement of up to 416 Volts Line to Neutral and 721 Volts Line to Line. This insures proper meter safety when wiring directly to high voltage systems. One unit will perform to specification on 69 Volt, 120 Volt, 230 Volt, 277 Volt and 347 Volt power systems.
Short Circuit Safe Current Inputs
Method One – CT Lead Pass Through. The CT Lead passes directly through the meter without any physical termination on the meter. This insures that the meter cannot be a point of failure on the CT circuit. This is preferable to utility users when sharing relay class CTs. No Burden is added to the secondary CT circuit. | Method Two – Current "Gills." This unit additionally provides ultrarugged termination pass-through bars, allowing the CT leads to be terminated on the meter. The Shark® meter's stud-based design insures that your CTs will not open in a fault condition. |
Easy to Use and Install
From user interface to mechanical construction, the Shark® 100 Meter was designed to be easy and intuitive, so an installer with minimal meter experience and training can easily install and use this product.
Shark® 100 meter ANSI and DIN Mounting
The unit mounts directly in an ANSI C39.1 (4" round form) or an IEC 92mm DIN square form. This is perfect for new installations and for existing panels. In new installations, simply use DIN or ANSI punches.
