7.Loosen the T-Slot transducer holder assembly with a 1 1/4” socket. Carefully remove the T-Slot transducer assembly.

8.Loosen the three Allen setscrews with a 1/16” hex driver securing the transducer assembly and stalk, if installed. Carefully remove the old transducer by pulling it from the T-Slot transducer holder assembly without rotating.

Important

Record the “L” dimension of the removed transducers which is used to update the meter configuration after all of the transducers are replaced. Make sure you have the report sheet containing the “L” dimension, Delay Time, and Delta Delay Time for the replacement pair of transducers to use during the Transducer Swap-out procedure in Daniel MeterLink.

9.Clean the transducer holder with a dry cloth.

7.2.3Installing the transducers

1.Ensure that the Daniel 3400 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter transducer port, mount, and T-Slot transducer holder assembly are clean and free of debris.

2.Apply a small amount of Molykote 111to the female contacts on the transducer.

3.Install the transducer assembly into the transducer holder or into the stalk (if required). The parts are keyed and can only be assembled one way. As the transducers are installed into the holder or stalk assembly, they must be labeled with a marker for future reference (i.e., transducer #1 would be A-1 and transducer #2 would be A-2).

4.Use a 1/16” hex driver to equally tighten the three Allen set screws on the transducer holder to secure the transducer assembly and the stalks (if installed).
