MULTI-PARAMETER CONTROLLER & ANALYZER USER’S MANUAL
Introduction
Introduction Page 1
The SHARK multi-parameter controller is a microprocessor based controller 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 4.6 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 User’s 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 any problems with the SHARK
- Outputs, used to configure the SHARK’s outputs.
There are two displays on the SHARK. A bright LED numeric display with bar graph on
the outside front panel, and a 2-line, 16-character LCD display on the inside. The LED
readout on the outside panel can be seen several yards away. The distinctive,color-
coded bar graph will immediately indicate if you are within the process parameters that
you set (green), if the control relays are on (yellow) and if you are in alarm condition
(red). This makes diagnosing pump and alarm malfunctions easy. All configuration and
control functions are performed on the LCD menu on the inside front panel.
A universal mounting kit is included for surface,panel and pipe-mount applications. The
1/4 DIN enclosure makes panel-mount cutouts and engineering simple.
SHARK is packaged in a rugged NEMA 4X polycarbonate enclosure making it ideally
suited for heavy-duty applications such as industrial wastewater neutralization, munici-
pal water and wastewater, pulp and paper, and process control.
