2.1 Description
The Daniel Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter measures the flow of gas, especially natural gas, by
measuring the difference in signal transit time with and against the gas 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 the transit
time measurements and transducer location information to calculate the mean gas velocity.
The Daniel Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter offers bi-directional measurement capability (due to
meter symmetry) over a wide range of flow rates with no pressure loss. Accuracy, safety,
reliability, and ease-of-use are some of the many benefits of Daniel Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meters.
Computer simulations of various gas velocity profiles demonstrate that four measurement
paths provide an optimum solution for measuring asymmetric flow. The Daniel SeniorSonic
Meter (Models 3400 and 3422) utilizes four cross-bore, parallel-plane measurement paths to
offer a high degree of accuracy, repeatability, and superior low-flow capabilities without the
compromises associated with conventional technologies. These features make the
SeniorSonic
TM
Meter the best choice for custody transfer applications.
TM
TM
Daniel offers two JuniorSonic
Meter models (3410 and 3420) for applications that are
cost-sensitive and/or do not require custody-transfer levels of accuracy. Model 3410 utilizes one
measurement path; Model 3420 utilizes two measurement paths. Unlike the SeniorSonic
Meter designs, the JuniorSonic

o
included angle). The path is often referred to
TM
as a bounce-path (as the signal is bounced off the meter body) or a centerline path (as it goes
through the center-line of the meter body). The 3420 model’s two paths are configured at right
angles to one another in a “bulls-eye” arrangement. The bounce-path method simplifies
construction of the meter and makes the meter less susceptible to interference from pipeline
liquids.
TM
Since the JuniorSonic
Gas Flow Meter utilizes center-line paths, an additional piece of
information is needed to determine the average velocity of the moving gas (remember that not
all gas is moving at the same velocity). A “flow profile correction factor”, sometimes called the
Reynold's Number correction factor, is needed to correct the velocity measured along the
path(s) to the correct average for the cross sectional area. (see Section 5.6.11 and
Equation 6-18 for Reynolds correction information). This can be accomplished by either using a
fixed value or more accurately by measuring pressure and temperature, and then applying an
active correction to the measured transit times.
The dual-path configuration (3420 model) provides a more representative measurement of the
entire flow profile than the single-path configuration (3410 model).
The Daniel Ultrasonic Flow Gas Meter’s U.L. safety listing is accomplished through a
combination of an explosion-proof electronics enclosure, and intrinsically safe transducers. The
transducers and transducer leads are designed for maximum safety in a Class 1, Division 1 area
without need of further protection when installed in accordance with the field wiring diagram
(Daniel P/N DE-21056, see Appendix I).

2.5 Hardware features
2.5.1 Inputs
Digital input
The meter provides a single general-purpose digital input. The input signal polarity is selectable
via a configuration data point and its (polarity-configured) value is readable via another data
point.
Pressure and temperature analog inputs
The meter provides two analog inputs (AIs) via the Option Board or the Series 100 Plus Option
Board - one for temperature (AI1) and one for pressure (AI2). Each analog input is expected to
be a 4-20mA signal.
The analog-to-digital conversion accuracy is within ±0.05% of full scale over the operating
temperature range.
2.5.2 Outputs
frequency Outputs
The Daniel Mark III Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter provides two pairs of frequency outputs where
each pair is individually configurable. The first pair is comprised of FO1A and FO1B; the second
pair is comprised of FO2A and FO2B. The information represented by each frequency pair is
software selectable (with selections such as flow volume, gas velocity, sound velocity, energy
rate, or mass rate - see Section 5.6.7). The frequency output range for each pair is individually
software selectable as either 0-1000 Hz or 0-5000 Hz (with an overrange of 50%).
The worst case frequency output granularity is 1 Hz at 5000 Hz. When a frequency is configured
to represent volume, the volume accuracy is within ±0.01%.
The meter provides two pairs of configurable frequency outputs (FO1A, FO1B, FO2A, and
FO2B), four configurable digital outputs (DO1A, DO1B, DO2A, and DO2B), and an optional
analog output (AO1).
The frequency and digital outputs are divided into two groups as follows:
• Group 1:FO1A, FO1B, DO1A, DO1B
• Group 2:FO2A, FO2B, DO2A, DO2B
26 Hardware features
Reference, Installation, and Operations Manual Section 2: Product overview
If outputs from both groups are to be connected to the same device, then the two group
grounds must be connected together, either at the Daniel Mark III Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter
Field Connection Board or at the flow computer, whichever is more convenient.
3-9000-743 Rev S June 2013
Each group has a separate ground (i.e., Group1Gnd and Group 2 Gnd) and there is up to 50 V
isolation between the two groups. Thus, all outputs within a group share a common ground.
This allows each output group to be connected to a different flow computer. Daniel should be
consulted before establishing the actual meter capacity for a particular application.
All outputs are opto-isolated from the CPU Board (with a withstand of at least 500 Volt rms
dielectric).
Each output is individually configurable as either internally powered (TTL) or externally powered
(“open collector” e.g. O.C.). An output signal configured as “internally powered” is powered
from an internal isolated 5 VDC bus and has voltage levels and drive capability as shown in
Ta bl e 2 -3 .
Table 2-3 Voltage level and drive capability per logic level (TTL)
Logic Value Voltage Level Drive Capability
0 < 0.7 V maximum sinking current:10 mA
1 > 3.5 V maximum sourcing current:10 mA
An output signal configured as “open collector” (externally powered) must not exceed 60 VDC
and must not be allowed to sink more than 50 mA.
Cable length TTL mode
The maximum cable length is 2000 feet when the “TTL” mode is selected.

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 required for the frequency input to see a LOW
state, 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.

Analog output(s)
A 4-20 mA analog output is provided via the Option Board. The analog output is software
configurable (similar to the frequency outputs) and can represent volumetric flow rate, gas
velocity, sound velocity, energy rate, or mass rate (see Figure 5.6.8).
Two 4-20 mA independently configurable analog outputs are available with the Series 100 Plus
Board installed.
The analog output zero scale offset error is within ±0.1% of full scale and gain error is within
±0.2% of full scale. The total output drift is within ±50 ppm of full scale per °C.
2.5.3 Status Indicators
The meter has several light-emitting diode (LED) status indicators on both the CPU Board and
Option Board for general status and communication status indication.
CPU Board General Status Indicators
The meter indicates the status of the metrology mode and the status of the data transfer from
the Acquisition Board to the CPU Board via LEDs located on the CPU Board (see Figure 2-13 and
Figure 2-16). Additional LEDs are included for future use. Ta b l e 2 - 5 summarizes the CPU Board

Daniel MeterLink will not communicate with a Mark III meter over a half-duplex serial
connection.
3-9000-743 Rev S June 2013
2.6 Communications
The Daniel Mark III Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter provides two standard and one optional
RS-232/RS-485 serial communication ports (referred to respectively as Port A, Port B, and Port
C) and an optional Ethernet port (Eth1). Port A and B are expected to be used for (general)
communication with flow computers and RTUs. Port C (included on the Option Board and the
Series 100 Plus Option Board) can be used for general communication (such as with a flow
computer or RTU) or for optional communication as a Modbus master with a Daniel Gas
Chromatograph (GC). With the Series 100 Plus Option Board installed, you can establish
communications with other devices via a Field Communicator (375) or AMS™ Suite). The
Ethernet port is expected to be used for diagnostic purposes. See Section 5.8 for software
configuration of communications protocols.
Port A is the preferred port for connection to a flow computer or RTU. If two flow computers are
to be connected to the meter, then Port B should be used to connect to the second flow
computer. If a computer running the Daniel MeterLink program is to be connected to a meter
and the optional Ethernet port is enabled, it is the preferred port for the connection. If the
Ethernet connection is not feasible, then Daniel MeterLink should be connected to the meter
using Port B in full duplex configuration.
Both Ports A and B are individually hardware-selectable for RS-232/RS-485 Full Duplex/RS-485
Half Duplex operation. Port A supports RS-232 RTS/CTS handshaking with software-configurable RTS on and off delay times. When handshaking is enabled, Port A drives the RTS output
low and expects the CTS input to be active low. Both Ports A and B support individually software-configurable transmit delay times.
Port C (provided by the Option Board and the Series 100 Plus Option Board) is individually hardware-selectable for RS-232/RS-485 Half Duplex operation. Port C supports a software-configurable transmit delay time.
Ports A, B, and C support ASCII and RTU Modbus protocols (as detailed in Ta bl e 2- 1 1 ) which are
automatically detected on a per-port basis.
Table 2-11 Supported Modbus Protocols
Modbus Protocol Number of Start Bits Number of Data Bits Parity Type Number of Stop Bits
ASCII 1 7 odd or even 1
RTU 1 8 none 1
Modbus addresses are software configurable (from 1 to 247) on a per-port basis. Ports A and B
operate only as Modbus slaves. Port C can operate as either a Modbus slave (for general
communication) or a Modbus master (for GC communication).
Baud rates are software selectable on a per-port basis from the following:
• ASCII Modbus: 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115000 bps
• RTU Modbus: 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400 bps

RESTRICT ETHERNET AND SERIAL CONNECTIVITY USAGE
Failure to restrict Ethernet and communication access to the Mark III 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
Mark III flow meter is appropriately controlled and any necessary security precautions, such as,
establishing a firewall, setting password permissions and/or security levels are implemented.
June 2013 3-9000-743 Rev S
When Belden wire No. 9940 or equivalent is used, the maximum cable length for RS-232
communications at 9600 bps is 88.3 meters (250 ft.) at and the maximum cable length for
RS-485 communication at 57600 bps is 600 meters (1970 ft.).
Port B supports a special override mode which forces the port to use known communication
values (19200 baud, address 32) (see Section 5.6). (Note that the protocol is still
auto-detected.) This mode is expected to be used during meter commissioning (to establish
initial communication) and in the event that the user cannot communicate with the meter
(possibly due to an inadvertent communication configuration change).
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. 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)
single host. After configuration of the Mark III flow meter, the DHCP option must be turned off if
used on a LAN/WAN.

• A spread bar is used during lifting to eliminate angular loading
If any of the conditions described above can not be met, the operator must remove,
destroy, and discard the “Eye Bolt” immediately and use slings around meter body as
outlined in these instructions in conjunction with company approved hoisting and
rigging procedures or the DOE-STD-1090-2004 HOISTING AND RIGGING standard if
such company standards do not exist.
June 2013 3-9000-743 Rev S
A Daniel Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter can be safely lifted and maneuvered into and out of a meter
run for installation or service by obeying the following instructions.
When only lifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter by itself, Daniel recommends two methods. These
methods are:
1. Using an appropriately rated Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Rings Installed in the
Daniel Ultrasonic Meter end flanges (Refer to Section 3.2.1)
2. Using appropriately rated lifting slings positioned at designated areas of the Daniel
Ultrasonic Meter (Refer to Section 3.1.2)
Both methods must be used in conjunction with all appropriate company hoisting and rigging
standards or the DOE-STD-1090-2004 HOISTING AND RIGGING standard if such company

3.2.2 Safety precautions using safety engineered swivel hoist rings
Read and follow the Safety Precautions listed below:
1. Meters must only be lifted by personnel properly trained in the safe practices of rigging
and lifting.
2. Remove the plug bolts installed in the tapped holes on the top of the flanges. Do not
discard the bolts as they must be reinstalled once the lifting operation is complete to
prevent corrosion of the tapped holes.
3. Make sure the tapped holes on the meter are clean and free of debris before installing
the hoist rings.
4. Use only the Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Rings that are rated for lifting the meter. Do
not use any other type of hoist rings with the same screw size or heavy duty hoist rings.
The meter tapping and counter bore size are suitable only for the hoist rings specified
by Daniel.
5. When installing a hoist ring, make sure the base surface of the hoist ring fully contacts
the machined flat surface of the tapped hole. If the t wo surfaces do not come in contact
then the hoist ring will not hold its full rated load. Torque the hoist ring attachment
bolts to the limit indicated on the hoist rings.
44 Safety precautions using safety engineered swivel hoist rings
Reference, Installation, and Operations Manual Section 3: Installation
3-9000-743 Rev S June 2013
6. After installation of the hoist rings, always check that the ring rotates and pivots freely
in all directions.
7. NEVER attempt to lift the meter using only one hoist ring.
8. Always use separate slings to each hoist ring. NEVER reeve one sling through both hoist
rings. The slings must be of equal length. Each sling must have a load rating that equals
or exceeds the hoist ring load rating. The angle between the two slings going to the
hoist rings must never exceed 90 degrees or the load rating of the hoist rings will be
exceeded.
Figure 3-3 Ninety degree angle between slings
9. NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure. Damage to the enclosure
may occur. If the slings do come in contact with the electronic enclosure then remove
the two bolts holding the enclosure to its base and temporarily remove the head from
the meter during the lifting operation. You will need to unplug the cable from J3 on the
Acquisition Module. Two screws hold this cable in place.
Safety precautions using safety engineered swivel hoist rings 45
Section 3: Installation Reference, Installation, and Operations Manual
June 2013 3-9000-743 Rev S
Once the lifting operation is complete, reattach and secure the electronics cable to J3 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 with out the
bolts installed, may cause the electronics to fall and cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Figure 3-4 Incorrect sling attachment
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. NEVER lift more than the ultrasonic meter assembly including electronics and
transducers 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.
13. Remove the hoist rings from the meter after lifting is completed and store them in an
appropriate case or container per their manufacturer's recommendation.
14. Apply heavy lubricant or anti-seize to the threads of the plug bolts and reinstall the plug
bolts to keep the tapped holes free of debris and to prevent corrosion.

3. NEVER attempt to lift the meter using only one sling around the meter. Always use two
slings wrapped around each end of the body as shown below. A choker style sling is
recommended.
Figure 3-5 Correct sling attachment
4. Visually inspect the slings prior to use for any signs of abrasion or other damage. Refer
to the sling manufacturer's procedures for proper inspection of the particular sling you
are using.
5. Only use slings with ratings that exceed the weight to be lifted. Reference your
company's standards for safety factors that must be included when calculating the load
rating.
6. NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure or transducer cabling.
Damage to the enclosure or cabling may occur.
If the slings do come in contact with the electronic enclosure then remove the two
bolts holding the enclosure to its base and temporarily remove the head from the

Section 3: Installation Reference, Installation, and Operations Manual
Daniel MeterLink cannot communicate with Daniel 3400 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter
over RS-485 half duplex (i.e., 2-wire).
June 2013 3-9000-743 Rev S
3.4 Wiring and Connections
Daniel MeterLink uses the TCP/IP protocol to communicate to the Daniel 3400 Series Gas
Ultrasonic Flow Meter 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. When
installed, the Series 100 Plus Option Board provides communication flexibility with Daniel 3400
Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters, enables the meter to easily communicate with other field
devices Field Communicator (375) and AMS™ Suite), and ultimately communicate key
diagnostic information through PlantWeb® architecture.
The Daniel 3400 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter can auto-detect the protocol used and
automatically switch between TCP/IP, Modbus ASCII, and Modbus RTU so it is not necessary to
make any meter configuration changes to change the protocol.
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 B default configuration (see
Appendix I field wiring diagram, Daniel Drawing DE-21056). The DB-9 end of the cable plugs
directly into the PC running Daniel MeterLink. The three wires on the other end of the cable
connect to the Field Connection Board at connector J7 (see Table 3-7 for Port B wiring).

It is the action of changing S2-1 from the OPEN to CLOSED position (not being in the CLOSED
position) that causes the override mode to be entered.
June 2013 3-9000-743 Rev S
Port B Driver Configuration
The serial communication Port B driver is configured via CPU Board switch banks S4, S5, and S7
and Field Connection Board switch bank S1.
Port B supports a special override mode which forces the port to use known communication
values (19200 baud, address 32). (Note that the protocol is auto-detected.) This mode is
expected to be used during meter commissioning (to establish initial communication) and in
the event that the user cannot communicate with the meter (possibly due to an inadvertent
communication configuration change).
The Port B communication override mode is entered by switching CPU Board S2-1 (switch
bank 2, position 1) from the OPEN position to the CLOSED position. Port B remains in the
override mode until either (1) the port configuration is changed (via software), (2) two minutes
has elapsed (at which time the port reverts to its current configuration), or (3) the S2-1 switch is
changed back to the OPEN position.
To configure Port B for RS-232 operation, set the switches as indicated in the table below (see
Figure 3-24 for switch bank locations):
