MULTI-PARAMETER TRANSMITTER USER’S MANUAL

Introduction

The SHARKTX & SHARKTXP multi-parameter transmitter is a microprocessor based
transmitter capable of measuring one of the following parameters, pH, ORP, conductivi­ty or flow.

When shipped from the factory, the Shark is not set to measure any one parameter.
When the Shark is powered up for the first time, it will display the meter selection
screen where the meter type must be selected. (refer to section 4.5 Meter Selection)

This meter selection screen will only be displayed when the Shark is powered up for the
first time.

After the user selects a meter type the Shark will remain set to that meter type until it is
changed with the meter selection menu function in the Utilities menu.

To return the Shark to its factory settings, the user must re-select the current meter type
from the meter selection menu function. This will override all set-points and return all
settings back to the factory settings.

The Shark Users menu has been divided into five main categories

- Calibration, used to calibrate the Shark with the selected sensor

- Utilities, used to manually control or override the outputs.

- Setup, used to configure the Sharks many options

- Diagnostics, used to troubleshoot problems with the Shark or sensor

- Outputs, used to configure the Shark’s 4 to 20mA output.

SHARK

TX is packaged in a rugged NEMA 4X polycarbonate enclosure with a universal

mounting kit for surface, panel and pipe-mount applications. This enclosure is perfect for
stand-alone or panel-mount operation.

SHARK

TXP enclosure is also polycarbonate with a NEMA 4X front panel. Panel mount,

and DIN rail mounting hardware are supplied.

3.1 Conduit Connections

MULTI-PARAMETER TRANSMITTER USER’S MANUAL

Section 3 - Electrical Connections and Setup

The SHARK

TX

has two 1/2” conduit holes at the bottom of the enclosure as shown on fig. 2.1. The
unit is shipped with these holes plugged with liquid tight conduit seals. These must be left in unused
holes to maintain the NEMA 4X integrity. Use approved conduit hubs to connect the conduit, connect
these to the conduit before connecting to the enclosure.

Section 3 - Electrical Connections and Setup

3.3 pH and ORP Differential Probe connections and setup

The drawing shows the connections for the Aquametrix Differential (5 wire) probe. The cable
should be run in a conduit separate from AC power wires, and via a separate conduit hole.

Figure 3.2 Connections for Differential (5 wire) pH or ORP probe

CAUTION:

Always disconnect
the loop power
before wiring or
unwiring a sensor

Dwg# N104-42

Once connected, step through the LCD menus to
select the probe in the order shown. The first two
steps may be skipped if the meter is already con­figured for pH or ORP and a Differential Probe.
When using a pH probe, it is important to ensure
that the transmitter is reading the probe tempera­ture correctly for accurate temperature compensa­tion. The ORP probe does not require temperature
compensation, although the transmitter can dis­play process temperature measured by the probe.
The factory temperature calibration is usually
accurate enough that no adjustments are neces­sary.

Section 3 - Electrical Connections and Setup Page 7

MULTI-PARAMETER TRANSMITTER USER’S MANUAL

Section 3 - Electrical Connections and Setup

3.4 pH or ORP Combination Probe connections and setup

The drawing shows the connections for the Aquametrix Combination probe. The cable should be run
in a conduit separate from AC power wires, and via a separate conduit hole. The cable length should
not exceed 10 feet (3 meters).

The 2 wire version has
no temperature sensor
and is connected via a
coaxial wire.
In a pH meter, the user
should set the T COMP
OVERRIDE menu to ON
(Section 4.10) and adjust
the temperature setting to
the actual probe temper­ature.
In an ORP meter, the
user should set the

T.DISP OVERRIDE to
ON (Section 5.9) to blank

the temperature reading
on the display.

The 4 wire version has
two additional wires for
the probe internal tem­perature sensor. Ensure
that the T COMP OVER-

RIDE or T.DISP OVER­RIDE is OFF.

Fig. 3.3 Connections for the 2 and 4 wire Combination Probe

CAUTION:

Always disconnect
the loop power
before wiring or
unwiring a sensor

Dwg# N104-43

Once connected, step through the LCD menus to select the probe in the order shown. The first two steps
may be skipped if the meter is already configured for a Combination Probe. If a two wire pH probe is
used, which has no temperature sensor, ensure that the Temp. Comp. Override is set to same temper­ature as the buffer before calibrating. If a two wire ORP probe is used, you can blank the Temp display
with the T DISP OVERRIDE menu.

Section 3 - Electrical Connections and Setup

3.5 Conductivity Cell (Contacting style) connections and setup

The drawing shows the connections for the Aquametrix Conductivity Cells (Contacting style). The cable
should be run in a conduit seperate from the AC power wires, and via a seperate conduit hole. The cell
cable length should not exceed 300ft. (91 meters).

Figure 3.4 Connections for Conductivity Cells

CAUTION:

Always disconnect
the loop power
before wiring or
unwiring a sensor

Dwg# N104-44

Once connnected, step
through the LCD menus to
select the cell in the order
shown. The TEMP COMP
CURVE setup default is

1.8%/deg C. This is accept­able for most process appli­cations. If your process is
significantly different from
this, change the setting in
the TEMP COMP CURVE
menu.

3.6 Paddle Wheel Flow Sensor connections and setup

The drawing shows the connnections for a typical paddle wheel flow sensor. The cable to the
sensor should not exceed 2000’ (600 meters).

Figure 3.5 Connections for Flow Sensor

Dwg# N104-45

CAUTION:

Always disconnect
the loop power
before wiring or

Once connected, step through
the LCD menus to select the

Sensor K factor (pulses per U.S.
Gallon) is usually printed on the
side of the sensor or on a label
attached to the sensor cable.

3.10 MANUAL TEST MODE

(LCD MENU SECTIONS - pH: 4.4, ORP: 5.3, Conductivity: 6.4, Flow: 7.2)

The setup can be tested using Manual Test Mode to simulate process changes.

MANUAL TEST MODE is used to simulate a process reading in order to verify the correct
response of the output.

3.11 4-20 mA Isolated Output

(LCD MENU SECTIONS - pH: 4.15, ORP: 5.14, Conductivity: 6.16, Flow: 7.14)

The Transmitter has a single 4 to 20mA output, electrically isolated from the ground. The output
can source current into a resistive load. Maximum resistance depends on supply voltage.
Drawing on page 6 (Fig. 3.1)

The output is dedicated to track the process and has fully independent and fully adjustable 4 &
20 mA output setpoints. This will enable the operator to span the output over the desired range.

The output can be precisely trimmed through the LCD menu for precision applications.

The drawing on page 6 (Fig. 3.1) shows the connections for the output.
