INTRODUCTION 1-1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

Welcome to the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter T-2 to T-11 Transducer Upgrade Instructions Manual.

This manual has been designed to provide you with a step-by-step set of instructions for upgradingDaniel JuniorSonic™ and SeniorSonic™ meters from T-2 to T-11 transducers.

Please read the ‘Before You Begin’ section to make sure you have all the componentsnecessary to perform the upgrade before taking the JuniorSonic™ and SeniorSonic™ metersout of service.


INTRODUCTION1-2



BEFORE YOU BEGIN 2-1

2.0 BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This section lists all of the parts and tools required to perform the upgrade. Ensure that all of theseitems are available before taking the JuniorSonic™ and SeniorSonic™ meters out of service.

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH POSSIBLE

If the meter cannot be depressurized, use the ultrasonic extraction tool to remove and re-install the transducer assemblies.

Failure to follow the Ultrasonic Extractor Tool Operation Manual (3-9000-729) proceduresmay result in serious personal injury or death and may cause equipment damage.

If the meter cannot be depressurized, then the Daniel Ultrasonic Extractor Tool will berequired to remove the transducer assembly while the meter and associated piping remainsunder pressure. If you do NOT have this tool, it can be purchased or rented from DanielMeasurement Services.

2.1 Required Tools and Materials

1. 1¼" wrench or ratchet wrench c/w 1¼" socket2. 1/4" flat-blade screw driver3. 1/16" Allen wrench (2 or more recommended)4. Heat gun (type used for heat shrink tubing)5. Dow Corning® III silicone grease or equivalent6. Nickel anti-seize compound (P/N 3-9960-134)7. Sharpie® (or equivalent) permanent ink marker pen8. Laptop computer complete with Daniel CUI 3.10 or later installed 9. Zero Flow Calibration Data Sheet (transducer assembly dimensions)


BEFORE YOU BEGIN2-2



KEY POINTS 3-1

3.0 KEY POINTS

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

DO NOT proceed with the transducer upgrade if the original component lengths are notavailable. Obtain the Zero Flow Calibration Data Sheet from Daniel. The originalcomponent lengths of all equipment being replaced must be known in order to calculatethe new path length for each chord.

Exchanging any component in the transducer assembly may alter the length of the chord.Document each component exchanged to ensure that the changes are correctly entered into themeter configuration. Failure to do so, or entry of erroneous data, may impact meter accuracy.

• It is recommended that Daniel CUI 3.10 or later be used for this procedure. Although olderversions will work, the latest version is always recommended.

All the screen images in this document are from Daniel CUI 3.10. Daniel CUI updates areavailable at the following website: http://www.emersonprocess.com/daniel/.

• Transducers are always replaced in pairs, and it is recommended they be installed one pairat a time to avoid accidental interchange of components, leading to erroneous dimensions.When replacing the transducers, it is important to note their position (upstream ordownstream) and replace them in the correct location to ensure proper low-velocityperformance. Each transducer pair is marked with either a number 1 or 2 that relates to themeter location (i.e. A1, A2, B1, B2, etc). The number “1” transducers must be installed ina location such as A1, B1, C1 or D1 and the “2” transducer must be installed in thecorresponding A2, B2, C2 or D2.

• The transducer kit, P/N 2-9-3400-847, includes four pairs of transducers and is designed forthe SeniorSonic™ meter. If a JuniorSonic™ meter is being upgraded, this kit can be used,and the remaining transducers can be kept as spares. If the spares are not needed, contactDaniel Measurement Services for a list of components and part numbers.


KEY POINTS3-2

• Older transducer assemblies (transducer, stalk, and holder) did not have the lengths etchedon the individual component. New ones do. These lengths are required for the Daniel CUI3.10 software to calculate the new chord length.

To ensure that the required information is available, it is highly recommended that the originalZero Flow Calibration Data Sheet be obtained from Daniel prior to replacing the transducerpair.

The data sheet, shown in Figure 4-13, provides all of the serial numbers (S/N) and length datapertaining to the meter’s original transducer assembly components. This data sheet can be obtainedby contacting Daniel Measurement Services at 713-827-6314.

• Prior to replacing the transducers, it is imperative that each of the transducer pairs beinstalled in the correct location (i.e. A1, A2, etc) since changing the transducers, or anycomponents of the assembly, will impact the chord length. Mark the location on theTransducer Pair Data Sheet (see Figure 4-13, the data sheet included in the upgrade kit fornew transducers), and also mark the location on the side of the transducer with the markerpen (see Figure 4-5 for these components). This will prevent any confusion when thetransducers are installed and the meter’s configuration parameters are updated. The valueson the Transducer Pair Data Sheet relate to a unique pair of transducers. Do not mixtransducers from different pairs.

• It is recommended that only one pair (i.e. A1 & A2 or B1 & B2 etc.) of transducer assembliesbe removed at a time to avoid installing the transducer assemblies in the wrong position.When this isn’t practical, before removing the transducer assemblies from the mount, ensurethat the transducer location (i.e. A1, A2, etc) is marked on one of the flats of the 1¼" holderhead (see Figure 4-4). Ensure the marking will not be accidentally erased during removalof the old transducer.

• When the transducers are replaced, the applicable chord parameters must be updated. Usethe Transducer Swap-out Wizard in Daniel CUI (see Figures 4-6 through 4-9 for screen shotsof this wizard). This procedure requires writing changes to the meter. If the write-protectionjumper (JP2 on the DFI Board) is installed, it will need to be removed.


TRANSDUCER UPGRADE PROCEDURE 4-1

4.0 TRANSDUCER UPGRADE PROCEDURE

1. Prior to starting the transducer replacements, a minimum of a two-minute maintenance logfile should be collected.

2. Use the Edit/Compare Configuration Wizard to read the configuration from the meter.

3. Name the configuration file clearly to indicate it is before the transducer upgrade (by editingthe Daniel CUI automated file name shown in the Edit/Compare Configuration Wizardscreen (e.g. "Meter Name, Meter config, T-2 Transducers, 3-3-2005 4-48-58 PM.cfg").

4. When the upgrade procedure is complete and all of transducers are replaced and the dataupdated, save the configuration file named "Meter Name, Meter config, T-11 Transducers,3-3-2005 5-10-07 PM.cfg".

The chart in Figure 4-1 shows a typical SOS (Speed of Sound) comparison chart for a meter at zeroflow. It can be seen on the Charts sheet in the maintenance log file.

Figure 4-1. Typical SOS Comparison Chart


TRANSDUCER UPGRADE PROCEDURE4-2


If the meter cannot be depressurized, use the Ultrasonic Extraction tool to remove andre-install the transducer assemblies.

Failure to follow the extractor tool manual procedures may result in serious personal injury ordeath and may cause equipment damage.

If the meter cannot be depressurized, refer to the Daniel Ultrasonic Extractor Tool OperationManual (P/N 3-9000-729). The most recent copy of this manual may be downloaded from the Danielwebsite (http://www.emersonprocess.com/daniel/). Follow the steps in Section 4 of the UltrasonicExtractor Tool Operation Manual for removing the transducers under pressure, instead of steps 5through 8 below.

5. Depressurize the meter and isolate the meter run piping, and vent the gas to atmosphere.Verify that the pressure is 0 psig before proceeding.

6. Prior to removing the holder cover, put an alignment mark on the edges of both the holdercover and the mount cover using the marker pen. This will help facilitate rotationalalignment during the re-assembly. Remove the holder cover (see Figure 4-2) by completelyloosening the two captive screws. Gently pull back the cover and cable, unplug the cable andexpose the mount cover assembly.

Figure 4-2. Side and End View of M-Mount Transducer Assembly



7. After labeling the mount cover location (A1, A2, etc.), loosen the two screws in the mountcover as shown in Figure 4-3, below. Note that these two screws may or may not be captive.If they are not captive, remove them carefully. With the two screws fully unscrewed, pull themount cover off of the hex head of the holder exposing the mount and holder assembly.

Figure 4-3. Mount Cover

8. Loosen the T-Slot transducer assembly holder with the 1¼" wrench or socket (see Figure 4-4). Once it has been loosened, it should be possible to unscrew it by hand.

Unless the meter/piping has a vent open to the atmosphere, pressure may build up in themeter/piping due to minor valve leakage.

Ensure there is no pressure buildup before completely unscrewing the holder. Carefully pullout the transducer assembly (Figure 4-5).

If the hex head of the holder does not clearly indicate the location of the transducer assembly(A1, A2, etc. as shown in Figure 4-4), mark it now with a Sharpie® marker pen (or equivalent)to ensure the assembly is re-installed in the correct location.



Figure 4-4. Mount and T-Slot Transducer Assembly

9. Loosen the three 6-32 set screws that hold the transducer in place. The screws do not needto be completely removed. On some of the older assemblies, Loc-Tite™ is used on the setscrews. If the set screw is very tight and does not appear to come out without damage to thewrench or the set screw, try heating the area around the set screw with a heat gun. Often thiswill help in releasing the bond and allows the screw to be removed without damage. Usecaution when heating the stalk area around the set screw. Overheating may cause damageto the stalk.

If the inside of the set screw is stripped due to Allen wrench slippage and the screws cannot beextracted, it may be necessary to loosen the set screws by holding the stalk in place. If this isthe case, a new stalk must be obtained and installed. The length of the replacement stalk willbe required to update the meter configuration.



Figure 4-5. Transducer Assembly

10. After all three set screws have been loosened, as shown in Figure 4-5, remove the transducerfrom the holder assembly.

11. Replace the O-rings and back-up rings on the transducer holder. It is recommended that theybe replaced while the transducer is removed from the holder/stalk to prevent damage to thetransducer.

12. Install the new transducer designated for that location. The parts are keyed so that they onlyfit together one way. Tighten the three set screws equally to lock the new transducer intoplace. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Confirm the serial number of the transducer, andinstallation location (i.e. A1, A2, etc.) previously marked on the Transducer Pair Data Sheet.See annotated data sheet in Figure 4-13.

13. Clean the transducer ports, mounts, and T-Slot transducer before re-installing the newtransducer pair.



14. Lubricate the O-rings/back-up rings with a small amount of Dow Corning III silicon grease®

(or equivalent).

15. Apply a small amount of Nickel anti-seize compound (P/N 3-9960-134 or equivalent) to thethreads on the transducer holder.


If the extractor tool was used to remove the transducer assemblies while under pressure,use the tool to re-install the transducers. Follow the procedures in Section 5 of theUltrasonic Extractor Tool manual, instead of step 16 in this procedure. Once thetransducer has been installed, continue with step 17.

Failure to follow the extractor tool manual procedures may result in serious personal injury ordeath and may cause equipment damage.

16. Carefully insert the assembly into the assigned transducer port. With the 1¼" wrench orsocket, tighten the holder in the mount, until it is snug and securely seated (specificationtorque = 35 lb-ft). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

17. Repeat the entire procedure for each of the remaining transducer pairs being replaced.

18. With the system sealed, apply minimal pressure to the meter. Using soapy water, or otherleak check method, check for leakage around the transducer mounts and holder. Fix any leakbefore proceeding. If no leaks are detected, fully pressurize the meter to line conditions (orat least 200 psi).

19. Replace the mount covers in their original locations. Position them so the cover slips overthe 1 ¼” hex head screw of the transducer holder and the screw slots on the side allow accessto the screw-hole in the transducer mount underneath. Observe the alignment marks appliedin step 6. The metal locking plate on the surface of the cover can be rotated approximately¼" to engage the plate on the 1¼" hex head of the holder. While holding the body of thecover, rotate the locking plate by pushing on the tabs with the thumb and finger whilepushing down (see Figure 4-3). Once the locking plate is engaged and the cover is fullyseated on the mount, install the two screws that attach the cover to the mount.



20. Align the cable connector plug with the transducer connector pins in the holder, and plug inthe cable. The internal connector is keyed to align with the holder. Observe the alignmentmarks applied in step 6 to align the screws in the holder cover with the holes in the mountcover. Also, note that there are small “V” shaped marks on the sides of the mount cover toalign it with the holder cover.

21. Once the transducers have been replaced, the meter configuration must be updated for thenew chord length, Delay times and Delta Delay times. This is most easily done using theTransducer Swap-out Wizard in Daniel CUI 3.10.

22. Prior to making any changes to the meter’s configuration, open the communicationsconnection to the meter and ensure that all the transducers are operating correctly. The SOSdifference graph will show different values, but all chords should be operational. If any chordhas failed, troubleshoot and repair before proceeding.

The following steps discuss configuration changes required to maintain the meter’s accuracy. If thejumpers (Mark II electronics) are configured for write-protection, they must be removed (seeAppendix A for detailed procedures).

23. If the configuration has not yet been read from the meter and saved, do so now. Figure 4-6shows an example of the Edit/Compare Configuration wizard.



Figure 4-6. Edit/Compare Configuration Screen

24. Use the Daniel CUI Tools menu path and select Transducer Swap-out. The Test Meter dialogbox shown in Figure 4-7 displays. Select all the chords by clicking the check box beside thechord name in the lower left-hand corner. A check mark appears in the box as shown in thefigure.

25. Click the Next button to continue the configuration process (see Figure 4-8).



Figure 4-7. Chord Parameters Adjustment Dialog

26. From this dialog (Figure 4-8) select the components that have been replaced by clicking theradio buttons beside the applicable component. Note that only one chord will be entered ata time. The example in Figure 4-8 shows that only the transducer on Chord A was replaced(chord indicated at the top of the Select Components dialog).



Figure 4-8. Select Components for Chord A Dialog

27. Click the Next button to display the Select Components for Chord A data entry dialog (see

Figure 4-9). Enter the lengths of the “Components Removed” (from original Zero FlowCalibration Data Sheet), and the “Components Added”. The Daniel CUI softwareautomatically calculates the new chord length based on the data input.

28. Next enter the Delay and Delta times for the new transducer pair (from data sheet sent witheach transducer pair).



Figure 4-9. Update Chord A Data Entry Dialog

29. Click the Write to Meter button to apply the new values to the meter configuration.

30. Repeat this process for each of the remaining chords. Again, this process only permitschanges to the component information one chord at a time.

31. Read the configuration from the meter. As suggested in step 1, give this file a name whichclearly indicates that it is the configuration after the transducers have been replaced (i.e."Meter Name, Meter config, T-11 Transducers, 3-3-2005 5-10-07 PM.cfg").



32. Perform a file comparison to verify the changes to the meter’s configuration. To perform thiscomparison, use the Tools>Edit/Compare Configuration menu path.

(a) In the File section at the bottom of the screen click the Open button. Select the

directory and file folder in which the original configuration (created in step 1) was saved.

(b) Open the configuration file. The Daniel CUI configuration window displays theconfiguration.

(c) Next, click the Compare button at the bottom of the screen. Select the directory and file

folder in which the new configuration (created in step 31) was saved.

(d) Open the configuration file. The Compare Configurations window displays. An exampleof this comparison is shown in Figure 4-10. Only the "L" dimensions (Lx, Registers 312- 318), Delay (AvgDlyx, Registers 332 - 338) and Delta times (Dltdlyx, Registers 340 -346) should be different.

Figure 4-10. Compare Configurations Window

(e) Collect a maintenance log file for at least two minutes while the meter is flowing fasterthan 3 ft./sec. Verify that the SOS of each chord is within 2 ft./sec. of the others. If a SOSwas calculated using AGA10 and a known gas composition, verify that the meter averageSOS is within 2 ft./sec. of the AGA10 SOS.



Figure 4-11. SOS Comparison after Transducer Replacement

(f) If the security jumpers were removed, power down the meter and re-install the jumpersto implement the write-protection. When complete, restore power to the meter and checkthe meter to ensure proper operation using Daniel CUI.

(g) Disconnect the communication to the meter via Daniel CUI and install the end covers onthe meter head.

APPENDIX A A-1

A.1 REMOVAL AND RE-INSTALLATION OF WRITE-PROTECTION JUMPER ONMARK II ELECTRONICS

If the jumper has been installed on JP2 on the DFI Board, then the meter configuration will be write-protected. The effect of this jumper is to prevent changes to the values in the meter’s configuration.When the transducers or any component of the transducer assembly are replaced, the values relatedto the chord length “L”, the delay and the delta delay times will need to be revised in order tomaintain the meter’s accuracy. It is then necessary to remove the jumper, change the applicableconfiguration values and re-install the jumper.


APPENDIX AA-2

Figure A-1. Mark II Electronics


APPENDIX A A-3

Figure A-2. View of Mark II Electronics Board Stack from End of Enclosure

1. From Daniel CUI use the Meter pull-down menu and select Meter Information. The MeterInformation dialog box appears (see Figure A-2). The S/W Ver. shows the firmware versioninstalled in the meter electronics. If the version is 3.34 or earlier, then jumpers JP2 on theDFI Board and JP9 on the CPU must be removed in order to modify the meter’sconfiguration. If the firmware version is 3.62 or later, only jumper JP2 must be removed toapply the changes. Once the firmware version has been determined, click the Close button

and exit Daniel CUI..


APPENDIX AA-4

2. Turn off power to the electronics.

3. Disconnect the cable originating from the Field Connection Board by unplugging theconnector on the Power Supply Board (see Figure A-3). Loosen the screws completely tounplug the connector.

4. Completely loosen the four captive screws that hold the Electronics Board stack in theenclosure. With the cable held to the side, grasp the screws and pull the assembly straight outof the enclosure. The three-board assembly consisting of the Power Supply Board, the DFIBoard and the CPU Board are removed as a single unit.


APPENDIX A A-5

5. As shown in Figure A-4, jumper JP2 is located near the outer edge of the DFI Board. Accessto the jumper is possible without disassembling the three boards. Using needle nose pliers,carefully lift the jumper from the contact pins. One side of the jumper can be installed onone of the pins so that the jumper is not lost. If the firmware version is 3.62 or later, then theelectronics can be re-installed so that the configuration can be changed. If the firmwareversion is 3.34 or earlier, then jumper JP9 on the CPU Board (see Figure A-5) will also needto be removed. As with jumper JP2 on the DFI Board, jumper JP9 on the CPU Board canalso be carefully removed by using a pair of needle nose pliers.

Figure A-4. DFI Board Showing Jumper JP2


APPENDIX AA-6

Figure A-5. CPU Board Showing Jumper JP9

6. Align the electronics assembly and re-install it in the enclosure, ensuring that the connectionbetween the electronics and the enclosure is correctly engaged. Tighten the four captivescrews and reconnect the cable from the Field Connection Board.

7. Power up the electronics. With the write-protection jumper removed, it is now possible tochange values, which influence the measurement function, in the meter configuration.

8. After the values in the configuration have been changed, and the meter is operating withinthe expected tolerances, re-install jumper JP2 on the DFI Board, and jumper JP9 on the CPUBoard (if removed) using the same procedure as outlined above, except that the jumper needsto be re-installed to the position it was originally found, bridging both jumper contact pins.
