Logging load profiles, harmonics and voltage events with the accuracy of a revenue meter takes a panel meter certified to ANSI C12.20 class 0.2 and IEC 62053-22 class 0.2S that has its own memory and waveform capture. The Shark 200 measures at over 400 samples per cycle on all channels simultaneously, stores up to 4 MB in three historical logs of 64+ parameters, analyses harmonics to the 40th order, captures waveforms at up to 512 samples per cycle and communicates over RS485, IrDA and Ethernet with Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3 or IEC 61850, in a panel meter only 4 inches deep.

Advantages
Revenue-grade measurement
ANSI C12.20 class 0.2 and IEC 62053-22 class 0.2S accuracy, with a standard energy test pulse for field verification.
Complete data logging
Three historical logs with 64+ parameters each, up to 4 MB of memory, and time-stamped logs for events, alarms and I/O changes.
Power quality and waveform capture
Harmonics to the 40th order, waveform capture up to 512 samples per cycle, and CBEMA and SEMI F47 curves for voltage events.
Expandable communication and I/O
RS485, IrDA and KYZ pulse as standard; two automatically detected I/O slots and optional Ethernet cards with Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3 or IEC 61850.
V-Switch key technology
Keys V1 to V6 are activated in the field without taking the meter out of service, adding logging, harmonics, limits and waveform recording.
Applications
- Utility, commercial, industrial and campus metering, and submetering.
- Substation telemetry: voltage and frequency recording, and monitoring of transformers and line regulators.
- Interval load profiling and power quality studies.
- Direct replacement of analogue panel meters, reusing the existing CT and PT wiring.
About the product
The meter fits a 92 mm DIN square or ANSI C39.1 4-inch round cut-out, with only 4 inches of panel depth, which suits retrofits of existing switchgear. A transducer version without a display is also available, mounted on DIN rail, with an RS485 Modbus or DNP3 output and the same expandable I/O. The design is built for harsh environments, with short-circuit safe current inputs, and is powered by (90-265) V AC or (100-370) V DC, or by (18-60) V DC.

Frequently asked questions
How many samples per cycle does the Shark 200 waveform recorder capture?
With the V5 key it records at 32 or 64 samples per cycle and stores up to 85 events; with V6 it reaches 128, 256 or 512 samples per cycle and up to 170 events in a circular buffer, with programmable pre- and post-event cycles (at 512 samples per cycle, 1 pre-event and 3 post-event cycles). The figures are for 60 Hz systems; multiply them by 1.2 for 50 Hz systems.
Can the Shark 200 communicate over IEC 61850?
Yes, with the INP300S Ethernet card: IEC 61850 protocol with a configurable CID file, 5 MMS clients and 5 Modbus connections, plus a web server. The INP100S card offers 12 Modbus TCP/IP and 5 DNP3 over TCP/IP connections instead; both are dual Ethernet port capable.
What accuracy class does the Shark 200 hold?
Class 0.2 under ANSI C12.20 and class 0.2S under IEC 62053-22, verifiable in the field with the standard energy test pulse.
How much logging memory does it have?
Up to 4 MB with the V6 key, split across three historical logs of 64+ parameters each.
What communication options are supported?
RS485 with Modbus or DNP3 as standard, plus optional Ethernet cards with Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3 or IEC 61850.
How much panel space does it need?
A 92 mm DIN square or 4-inch ANSI round cut-out, with only 4 inches of depth, fitting existing openings.
