The Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a two-path (four transducers) in-line meter
designed to me
asure 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 op
pa
timum solution for measuring asymmetric flow. The Daniel 3812 Liquid
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

combination of an explosion-proof Transmitter Electronics Enclosure that houses the CPU

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

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
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.

3.5Wiring 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

The meter’s electronics auto-detects the protocol used an

changes to change the protocol.
