The Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a two-path (four transducers) in-line meter de
signed to measure the difference in signal transit time with and against the flow across one or more measurement path(s). A signal transmitted in the flow direction travels faster than one transmitted against the flow direction. Each measurement path is defined by a transducer pair in which each transducer alternately acts as transmitter and receiver. The meter uses transit time measurements and transducer location information to calculate the mean velocity.
Computer simulations of various velocity profiles demonstrate that multiple measurement
ths provide an optimum solution for measuring asymmetric flow. The Daniel 3812 Liquid
pa Ultrasonic Flow Meter utilizes two cross-bore, parallel-plane measurement paths, offers a high degree of repeatability, bi-directional measurement and superior low-flow capabilities without the compromises associated with conventional technologies.
The Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter’s U.L
. safety listing is accomplished through the combination of an explosion-proof Transmitter Electronics Enclosure that houses the CPU Module, Power Supply board, I.S. Barrier board, Backplane board and optional LCD Display board.
NOTE: The op
tional LCD Display requires firmware v1.04 and Uboot version, January 31, 2013.
The Base Electronics Enclosure is intrinsically safe and houses the Acquisition Module, the
uisition cable and wiring. The Intrinsically safe transducers and cable assemblies are
acq designed for Class 1, Division 1, Groups C and D areas without need of further protection when installed in accordance with the field wiring diagram (refer to Daniel drawing DMC - 004936, see
Appendix A and Section 1.8).

9. Direct mount option: NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure.
Damage to the enclosure may occur. Use a spreader bar with the slings to prevent contact with the electronics enclosure and the base enclosure (
see Figure 2-11). If the
slings do come in contact with the electronic enclosure then remove the four bolts holding the e
nclosure to its base and temporarily remove the head from the meter during the lifting operation. You will need to unplug the cable on the Acquisition Module. Two screws hold this cable in place. Once the lifting operation is complete, reattach and secure the electronics cable on the Acquisition Module, return the electronics enclosure to its original position, replace the bolts, and secure the enclosure in place.
Lifting the meter with the upper enclosure installed but without the bolts installed, may
ause the electronics to fall and cause personal injury or equipment damage.

11. NEVER apply shock loads to the meter. Always lift the meter gradually. If shock loading ever occurs, the hoist ring must be inspected per manufacturer's recommendations prior to be placed in any further service. If a proper inspection cannot be performed, discard the hoist ring.
12. NEVER lift with any device, such as hooks, chains, or cables that could create side pulls that could damage the ring of the hoist ring.
13. NEVER lift more than the ultrasonic meter assembly including electronics and transdu
cers with the hoist rings. The only exception is that it is safe to lift the meter with one ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47 blind flange bolted to each end flange of the meter. NEVER use the hoist rings on the meter to lift other components such as meter tubes, piping or fittings attached to the meter. Doing so will exceed the load rating of the hoist rings.

3.1 Cable length TTL mode

The maximum cable length is 2000 feet when the “TTL” mode is selected.

3.2 Cable length Open Collector mode

For the “open collector” mode, the maximum cable length depends on the cable parameters, pull-up resistance used, the maximum frequency to output, and frequency input parameters being driven. The following table provides estimated cable lengths for different pull-up resistor values and different Max Frequency settings in the meter using the following cable parameters. The table also provides an estimated cable voltage drop which indicates how much voltage will be across the cabling and effectively indicates to what voltage level the frequency input can be pulled down to by the frequency output.
If the voltage drop is higher than the voltage requ then the configuration will most likely not work for your system. Performance of frequency outputs will vary from this table with setup and frequency input being driven.

March 2013 3-9000-765 Rev D

3.5 Wiring and I/O

Daniel MeterLink uses the TCP/IP protocol to communicate with the 960-24™ MSTS electronics instead of Modbus ASCII or RTU. The TCP/IP protocol only works across either Ethernet, RS-485 full duplex (i.e., 4-wire), or RS-232. Daniel MeterLink can communicate with multiple meters if they are multi-dropped using 4-wire full duplex RS-485 mode. The meter electronics are HART capable and provide communication flexibility with Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meters.
The HART® output provides communication with other field devices (e.g., 475/375 Field
municator and AMS™ Device Manager software) and ultimately, communicates key
Com diagnostic information through PlantWeb® architecture.
The meter’s electronics auto-detects the protocol TCP/IP, Modbus ASCII, and Modbus RTU so it is not necessary to make any meter configuration changes to change the protocol.

Ethernet communications
The Ethernet port IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are software-configurable. In addition, a meter can be configured to act as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to assign an IP address to a PC or laptop running Daniel MeterLink. The DHCP server facility is not intended to act as a general purpose DHCP server for a wider network. To this end, no user control is provided over the class or range of IP addresses the unit provides. A standard twisted pair (Cat-5) cable should be used for Ethernet wiring.
It is strongly recommended that the meter be configured using an independent (off-network)
gle host. After configuration of the meter, the DHCP option must be turned off if used on a
sin LAN/WAN.
Use ethernet cable (Daniel P/N 3-3400-079) to connect the PC to the meter.

able connect to the CPU Module. The RED wire goes to RX, the WHITE wire goes to TX, and the
c BLACK wire goes to COM for the RS-485/RS-232 (Table 3-4 for Port A wiring).
When Beldon wire No. 9940 or equivalent is used, the maximum cable length for RS-232
ommunications at 9600 bps is 88.3 meters (250 ft.) and the maximum cabl
c communication at 57600 bps is 600 meters (1970 ft.).
Port A supports a special override mode which forces the port to use known communication
alues (19200 baud, address 32, RS-232). Note that the protocol is auto-detected. This mode is
v
xpected to be used during meter commissioning (to establish initial communication) and in
e the event that the user cannot communicate with the meter (possibly due to an inadvertent communication configuration change). Alternately, when using Daniel MeterLink™ with an Ethernet port, use Ethernet cable (Daniel P/N 3-3400-079) to connect the PC.
