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).

ESCAPING FLUIDS HAZARD
The purchaser of the meter is responsible for the selection of Daniel components/seals and materials
compatible with the chemical properties of the measurement fluid.
Failure to select suitable meter components/seals may cause escaping fluids, resulting in injury or equipment

3.1Cable length TTL mode
The maximum cable length is 2000 feet when the “TTL” mode is selected.
3.2Cable 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

RESTRICT ETHERNET AND SERIAL CONNECTIVITY USAGE
Failure to restrict Ethernet and communication access to the Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic
Flow Meter can result in, among other things, unauthorized access, system corruption, and/
or data loss.
User is responsible for ensuring that physical access and Ethernet or electronic access to the
Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter is appropriately controlled and any necessary
security precautions, such as, establishing a firewall, setting password permissions and/or
implementing security levels.

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.

A DIN 41612 48-pin connector is the interface from the CPU Module to the Field Connection
Boar
d (male end located on the back of the Field Connection Board).
If not using Ethernet, a full duplex serial connection is necessary for Daniel MeterLink to
communicate with a Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter.
March 20133-9000-765 Rev D
Serial connections
Use serial cable (Daniel P/N 3-2500-401) to connect to a PC running Daniel MeterLink. The cable
is designed for RS-232 communications which is the serial Port A default configuration (see
Appendix A field wiring diagram,D
plugs directly into the PC running Daniel MeterLink. The three wires on the other end of the
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.
