PART 1 - QUICK START
General
This manual contains detailed operating instructions
for all aspects of the D300/301 instrument. The
following condensed instructions are provided to
assist the operator in getting the instrument started
up and running as quickly as possible. Thi s pertains
to basic operation only. If specific instrument features
are to be used or if the installer is unfamiliar with this
type of instrument, refer to the appropriate section i n
the manual for complete details.
1. TRANSDUCER LOCATION
A. In general, select a mounting location on the
piping system with a minimum of 10 pipe
diameters (10 X the pipe inside diameter) of
straight pipe upstream and 5 straight diameters
downsteam. See Table 2.1 for additional
configurations.
B. On horizontal pipe, select a position that is
between 2 and 4 o’clock on the pipe, with 12
o’clock representing the top.

2. PIPE PREPARATION AND TRANSDUCER
MOUNTING
A. The piping surface, where the transducers are
to be mounted, needs to be clean and dry.
Remove loose scale, rust and paint to ensure
satisfactory acoustical bonds.
B. Loosely wrap the appropriate length of strap
around the pipe at the l ocation determined in
Step 1. Refer to Figure 1.1 for proper
orientation.
C. Apply a liberal amount of couplant onto the
transducer face. Pl ace the transducer onto the
pipe ensuring square and true placement. If
an RTV type of couplant (requiring curing
time) was utilized, allow sufficient time for
curing before applying power to the instrument.

IMPORTANT!
In order to successfully complete the configuration of
the D300/301 flow meter, the transducer must be
mounted on a pipe which is full of a flowing liquid. I t
is normal to have zero readings and no si gnal indicator LED with empty pipes or zero flow rate.

Connections
A. Adjust the GAIN control [R10] to 1/4 turn from
full counter-clockwise rotati on. Set the DAMP
control R110 to 1/2 turn from either stop.
B. Apply power to the instrument.
C. If the pipe is full of a flowing liquid, the LED
located on the bottom of the main circuit card
[D21] should begin flashing. If the LED does
not flash, gradually turn the GAIN control [R10]
clockwise until the LED just begins to flash
steadily. (Do not over adjust this setting as
ambient noise can influence readings.)
D. If possible, turn off the flow to the pipe. Verify
that the LED [D21] ceases to flash. If the LED
continues to flash when flow rate is zero, the
GAIN control [R10] is set too far clockwise and
ambient noise is influencing the readings.
Turn the control counter-clockwise until the
flashing ceases.
E. If the instrument passes steps 4C and 4D, the
basic setup of the instrument is complete.

PART 1 - GENERAL
General
Operating Theory
The Dynasonics D300/301 flowmeter is designed to
measure the flow of liquids and slurries in full-pipe
closed systems. The transmitter is factory configured
to measure flow on a specific, customer specified,
pipe, where flow range and measuring units have
been supplied to the Dynasonics factory during
assembly and factory calibration. The standard
product is typically used on pipe sizes ranging from
1 - 120 inch [ 25 - 1524 mm ] pipe I.D. (With the
small pipe transducer option, the pipe size range is
0.25 - 1 inch [ 6 - 25 mm]). A variety of liquid
applications can be accommodated: sewage,
sludges, concrete, mining slurries, dredging, etc.
Because the transducers are non-contacting and
have no moving parts, the flow meter is not affected
by system pressure, fouling or wear. Standard
transducers are rated to 250°F [121°C]. Optional
high temperature transducers are rated to operate to
400°F [204°C].
The basic principle of operation is the measurement
of the frequency shift “Doppler” of a reflected
ultrasonic signal from discontinuity in the flowing
liquid. In theory, these di scontinuities can be virtuall y
any amount of suspended bubbles, solids, or
interfaces caused by turbulent flow. In practice the
degree to which this can be reliably accomplished is a
function of the sensitivity and frequency of the
transducer and associated transmitter. The
D300/301 design requires greater than 100 PPM of
suspended solids or bubbles over 100 microns in
size. Should your application be cleaner than this,
please check with factory for information on transit
time ultrasonic flowmeters. The transducer which
generates and receives the ultrasoni c signal supplies
the data to the transmitter. The transmitter processes
the signal and provides an analog and pulse output
for velocity indicating and volumetric totalizing. In
addition, the transmitter contains a signal light which
determines satisfactory operation.
Rev. 2/00 -1.4- 300/301
PART 1 - GENERAL
Measuring Limits
The flowmeter is typically used as a unidirectional
meter and is most accurate when the transducer is
mounted in the orientation detailed in this manual.
But, the meter will measure flow in both directions —
although flow direction will not be indicated or
totalized properly. The flowmeter will operate from
signals returned from turbulence alone (such as
installation directly at pump discharges or
downstream from elbows and valves); however, it
should be noted that turbulence may vary with flow
rates and result in non-linear results. The
repeatability of the device is not dependent on most
process liquids.
The flowmeter is designed to measure the flow of
liquids and slurries, as long as a small, homogeneous
quantity of entrained air or suspended solids are
present. Without the presence of continuing supply of
air or solids, the transmitted pulses are not reflected
back to the transducer and the indicator will indicate
zero flow. Also, the LED signal indicator will be
extinguished.
The signal strength light will indicate (continuously
blink) when a minimum size and concentration of
suspended particles are available for a reliable flow
reading (100 micron and 100 PPM minimum) and the
liquid is moving at least 0.1 FPS [0.03 MPS]. Most
water-based liquids can be measured from a factory
calibrated flowmeter. However, liquids with a heavy
solids level (i.e. over 2%), liquids with sound speeds
that vary from water (see Appendix of alternate
liquids list) or pipes with liners may have to be field
calibrated. This is done by adjusting the span pot
(R30 on circuit board) to make the indicator agree
with a known flow velocity or a mathematically
corrected fluid velocity. All standard indicator scales
are calibrated to customer specified units. If the scale
range or units need to changed, the process to do so
is covered in detail later in this manual.

The following list outlines how to install the DT6
transducer for optimal performance, highest reliability
and greatest accuracy:
1. Select a transducer site at least 10 pipe diameters
downstream from bends, or fittings and 5 pipe
diameters upstream. A symmetrical flow pattern is
necessary for accuracy and repeatability over the

operating range of the meter. Down stream from
pump or orifices, etc., locate at least 20 diameters.
See
Table 2.1
2. On horizontal pipe, select a position that is
between 2 and 4 o’clock on the pipe, with 12
o’clock representing the top. If the transducer is
to be mounted on a verti cal pipe, sel ect a section
of pipe where the flow is moving from bottom to
top (flow moving vertically down a pipe tends to
cavitate and provide unreliable operation.)
3. Mount the transducer in the orientation shown in
Figure 2.2. The flow meter will read flow in both
directions, but will be most accurate if the cable is
mounted in the orientation shown—pointing in the
primary flow direction.
4. If totalization of the measured fluid is required, the
pipe must remain full. The meter will read when
the liquid level is greater than the placement of the
transducer, but the volumetric measurement will
be based on a full pipe, so totalization will be
higher than actual.
5. The flowmeter wi ll achieve proper Doppler signals
off of turbulence; however, it I should be noted
that turbulence may not be linear with pump
speed changes, nor is the reading necessarily
accurate due to the non-uniformity of turbulence.
6. When a liquid has less than 100 PPM of 100
micron or larger particles, try mounting the
transducer within 12 inches of a pump discharge
or other source of flow turbulence or cavitation. A
reading obtained under these circumstances will
be repeatable, but not necessarily accurate or
linear.
7. It is a good practice to test the flow meter on the
piping system before permanently mounting the
transducer using RTV. Function can be verified
by applying a water soluble lubricant, such as KYJelly, and holding the transducer by hand on the
pipe in the location where the transducer will be

Intrinsic Safety
Installations
For proper operation, there cannot be air voids
between the traducer face and pipe. The space must
be filled with a materi al which is a good transmitter of
sound energy such as:
SILICONE GREASE: Dow Corning 111 R or
comparable (-100 to +450 F.) T he material must be
suitable not to fl ow at temperature of pipe. Used for
temporary survey installations and portable flow
meters.
SILICONE RUBBER: Dow Corning 732-RTV R.
Excellent for permanent bonding. This adhesi ve is a
recommended bonding agent and easily removable.
INSTALLATION AND PIPE PREPARATION
The cable from the DT6 transducer is provided with
either dual-coaxial cables, flexible nylon conduit or
PVC coated steel conduit with a 1/2” NPT fitting. The
coaxial cable was ordered from the factory at a
specific length

Installation of the DT61 and DT63 small-pipe
transducers follow the same procedures as the DT60
and DT62 standard pi pe type. The only difference is
that the small pipe transducers utilize an integral
clamping mechanism for pipe mounting and the
standard pipe units use a stainless steel strap.
Installations requiring intrinsic safety should refer to

PART 2 - TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION
1. Pipe Preparation:
For permanent silicone adhesive mounting, after
determining the transducer location, some attention
must be given to the pipe condition. Before the
transducer head is bonded to the pipe surface, an
area slightly larger than the flat surface to the
transducer head (black rectangle) must be cleaned to
bare metal. This means the removal of all paint rust,
and scale. Some minor pipe pitting will not cause
problems, as the acoustic couplant will take up the
voids. In the case where pl astic pipe is used, remove
all paint and grease so that a smooth, dry surface is
exposed.
2. Transducer Mounting:
The transducer center line is designed to mount
parallel to the pipe center line. The groove in the
transducer body will allow the 1/2” stainless steel
strap that was enclosed with the meter to align the
transducer properl y on the pipe.
transducer on bends, elbows or fittings. Every effort
should be made to mount the transducer parallel to
the axis of the pipe as well as flat on the pipe. The
transducer cable should run in the “down-stream”
direction of liquid flow. See
In horizontal pipe runs, mount the transducer
between 2 and 4 o’clock from the top—12 o’clock
position; prepare the pipe surface as described.
Finish the surface with some emery paper and then
wipe the surface with trichlorenthylene to thoroughly
degrease the contact surface in a area slightly larger
than the flat surface of the transducer.
For permanent mounting, use a good silicone based
adhesive (Dow-732). Spread a bead of the adhesive
on the flat surface of the transducer face, covering
well. Now spread a bead to the prepared pipe
surface and press the head lightly to the pipe. Let the
adhesive flow enough to fill in all the area beneath the

place until the silicone has set up. Taping along the
edges of the head wi ll hold the adhesi ve in pl ace. A
pad of adhesive must be formed between the
transducer face and the pipe. Ensure that no relati ve
movement between the transducer and the pipe takes
place during the setup ti me (about 24 hours). Clamp

the adhesive is curing. Tighten for mechanical
strength only after 24 hours. Secure the conduit as
well.
3. Temporary Mounting and Spot Checks:
For temporary mounting, clean pipe as described and
use silicone grease as the acoustical coupling
material, holding by hand for spot readings or wi th a
strap clamp for indefinite periods.

PART 4 - CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
Power Up and GAIN
Adjustment
After power has been applied to the flowmeter and if
the pipe is full of a flowing liquid, the LED l ocated on
the bottom of the main circuit card [D21] should begin
flashing. If the LED does not flash, gradually turn the
GAIN control [R10] clockwise until the LED just
begins to flash steadily. (Do not over adjust this
setting as ambient noise can influence readings.)
If possible, turn off the flow to the pipe. Verify that the
LED [D21] ceases to flash. If the LED continues to
flash when flow rate is zero, the GAIN control [R10] is
set too far clockwise and ambient noise is influencing
the readings. Turn the control counter-clockwise until
the flashing ceases. The indicated flow will take
several seconds to achieve the desired reading
because of the built-in electronic damping circuits.
The flow rate meter is factory calibrated to the pipe
size and flow range indicated on the label located on
the inside front cover of the flow meter.

PART 4 - CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
FIELD CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
After the Equipment is properly installed and
operating, there may be a need to field calibrate the
flowmeter. This could be caused by a number of
reasons:
1. Using a size pipe other than the one specified
when factory configured.
2. When used to measure a liquid with a sound
speed that is di fferent than the one speci fied when
factory configured.

Field Calibration
Procedure
Field Calibration is as follows:
A. To calibrate the flow rate indicators (meter)
against a known flow:
1. With an established flow, the digital readout and/
or current outputs on D300/301 can be adjusted in
accordance with a verified flow measurement, by
adjusting pot R30 (SPAN) adjustment. Turning
the pot C.C.W. decreases the reading. This is a
20 turn, stop-less potentiometer. (Note: Pot R60
will adjust the 0-1 mA output only).
2. It is desired to adjust 4-20 mA to other than
factory calibration, pot R50 can be used to adjust
the 20 mA span.
3. Adjust damping pot R110 for desired flow
response. CW rotation increases flow damping.
The total flow damping range can be varied from
about 5 seconds to 50 seconds. This setting is
usually used to smooth out chart recorder
readings.

PART 4 - CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
B. Totalizer Calibration — Series 301
1. If an oscilloscope or signal counter is available, a
signal from test point TP10 will show the totalizer
count rate at a particular flow. Refer to the drawing in
the Appendix titled 091-1048-102 Series 300
Waveforms. The pulse rate at TP10 can be x 10, x
100, x 1000 or x10,000 of totalizer count rate, at the
CTR output on terminal strip. For example, if the
pulse rate is 200 milliseconds (multiplier switch SW 1
programmed for 100), then the counter rate at CTR
terminals will be scaled to provide a count every 20
seconds. The total counter output (CTR) range can
be adjusted from approximately 0.5 to 5 seconds wi th
a full scale flow indication.
Totalizer Adjustment:
(CTR CAL) - (pot R90 and DIP SW 1). The mul tiplier
DIP switch SW 1 may be programmed as follows:
SW 1 Posit ion
SW1-1 SW1-2 MULTIPLIER
OFF OFF X 10
ON OFF X 100
OFF ON X 1000
ON ON X 10000
If an oscilloscope or signal counter is not available,
then use the following procedure. The Pot R90 has a
range of 0.5 to 5 seconds. SW1 is then used to
increase this rate all the way up to 50 minutes.
2. Stopwatch Procedure - with a known flow rate
established on the flow meter digital display, time the
count rate on the totali zer by a stopwatch, measuring
the time between totalizer counts. If the totalizer is
reading lower than desired, turn CTR, CAL pot R90
Rev. 2/00 -4.3- 300/301
PART 4 - CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
C.W. Time the new rate and adjust as required. For
example, if the flow indicator reads 1,000 GPM and a
totalizer count rate of 1 count every 60 seconds
should be displayed. If the actual count rate is one
count every 50 seconds, then turn the adjustment
R90 slightly (with SW 1 Position x 1,000) C.C.W. to
decrease the count rate until there is one count on
the totalizer every 60 seconds when the flow rate
indicator is reading 1,000 GPM. As noted above, 20
full turns on R90 will produce a variation in count rate
of at least x 10, or from approximately 50 to 500
seconds when the indicator is reading full scale. To
determine count rate:
60 (TM)
Count rate = ---------------- GPM
Where,
TM = totalizer multiplier or gallons x totalizer counts
GPM = flow at time of calibration
Electronic Calibration
The flowmeter is electronically calibrated at the
factory by calculating the fluid velocity in Feet per
Second (FPS) that corresponds to the pipe size and
volumetric flow rate that was customer supplied at the
time of the order. The following equations were used
to determine the “calibration frequency” that is
required to properly span the flow meter.
FPS = GPM
(PIPE I.D.)
Where
PIPE I.D. is inches
A DT6 transducer generates 120 Hz / 1 FPS of
frequency shift when operated on room temperature
water. Alternate fluids can influence this factor. See
2
X 2.45
Rev. 2/00 -4.4- 300/301
PART 4 - CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
the Fluid Sound Speed Compensation chart located
in the Appendix of this manual.
Once a new calibration frequency has been
determined, the frequency is input as a 1 Vpp sinewave into TP3 on the main circuit card. This input will
simulate full scale flow in the circuit. With the function
generator inputting the calibration frequency the
SPAN, 1mA, 20mA and CTR inputs can be
configured. A 10% and 50% of SPAN frequency ca n
be input and flow meter linearity can be verified.
Noise and Gain Adju st
If meter indicates a reading with no flow, turn R10
(GAIN) C.C.W. just enough to eliminate. Since this
reduces sensitivity, do not turn past point of proper
operation. If indicator will not read flow, turn R10
(GAIN) C.W.
Relay Adjustment
1. Turn R80 (DLY) fully CCW for minimum delay (2
sec.) before proceeding with alarm trip
adjustments.
2. For a point of reference, turn R70 (ALM) al so fully
CCW.
3. At the desired flow dropout (which can be
simulated by the procedure covered in the
Electronic Calibration Procedure on Page 4.4),
slowly (due to time delay) adjust alarm R70 (ALM)
CW until relay is deactivated. Do not overturn.
NOTE:
the flow switch system at 1 FPS.
4. After a desired alarm trip point is established,
adjust R80 (DLY) CW for a desired ti me delay (20
sec. Max. On flow dropouts).

HOW TO CALIBRATE FOR A DIFFERENT SCALE
& PIPE
This procedure is an outline of how to re-scale the
series D300/301 flow meter.
1. The first step is to determine the full scale velocity
setting. To determine this you would need the full
scale setting (i.e. GPM, MGD etc) and the pi pe inside
diameter (refer to the charts in the Appendix).
Example calculation: Full scale 500 GPM. Pipe size:
4.026 inches I.D.
Feet per Second = 500 GPM = 12.755 FPS
(4.026)2 x 2.45
2. Multiply the Full Scale in FPS by 120 Hertz.
12.755 * 120 = 1530 Hertz.
3. As described in the Electroni c Cali bration section
on page 4.4 of this operations manual, input a 1Vpp
sine-wave at 1530 Hz into TP3 to simul ate full scale
flow.
4. Adjust R30 (SPAN) for 5.0 VDC at TP7. On A
D301 meter adjust the digital indicator located on the
door of the instrument. The adjustments for the
scaling on the digi tal in dic ator are also labeled SPAN.
The fine adjustment on the digital indicator is labeled
CAL. Use both of these adjustments to correctly set
the indicator.
5. On a D301 equipped with a totalizer the new count
rate would be determined by the following example:
60/500 = 0.12 sec per count. In this example it has
been determined that 1 count at .12 sec per count is
equal to 1 gallon. Since 0.12 seconds is too fast for
the electronic circuit design (i.e. 0.5 sec minimum
setting), the decimal place is moved over one and
Rev. 2/00 -4.6- 300/301
PART 4 - CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
the new count rate is 1.2 seconds per count at 10
gallons per count.
A digital counter is placed on the output of the circuit
card to measure the period between pulses so that at
a full scale of 500 GPM the CTR adjustment i s set to
correspond to a 1.2 second period interval. The SW1
switch is only used if the customer wishes to set the
gallons per count rate higher (i.e. x 10, x 100, x
1000).
