12.Repeat Step 1 through Step 12 for the remaining transducer assemblies which were replaced.

13.Check that the Daniel 3400 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter is pressure tight. Pressurize the meter to line pressure. Check for leaks around all mounts and transducer holders, which were removed, using soapy water or other recognized leak detector. If leaks are found, the meter must be vented to atmosphere and the problem corrected. Check for leaks again. Continue the process until there are no leaks.

14.Continue with Section 7.2.5 to use the Daniel MeterLink Transducer Swap- out Wizard.

7.2.4Replace the transformers

If your meter is equipped with T-21 or T-22 transducers and you need to replace the transformer assemblies, use the following procedure. Refer to Figure 7-5and Figure 7-8.

Procedure

1.Disconnect the transducer chordset from the transducer retainer by turning the cable nut counter-clock wise. Note: Do not twist the chordset as you disconnect it from the transformer.

2.Unscrew the retainer from the holder using a 1 1/8” wrench.

3.Pull the transformer assembly from the transducer holder assembly.

4.Apply a small amount of Molykote 111 to the O-rings on the replacement transformer assembly.

5.Plug the replacement transformer assembly into the transducer holder assembly. The transformer is keyed and can only be installed one way.

Note: T-21 transducers use W-01 transformers and T-22 transducers use W-02 transformers.

6.Place the retainer over the transformer assembly. Ensure the retainer threads are aligned correctly and hand-tighten. Use an 1 1/8” wrench and turn clockwise until fully seated in the transducer holder. Note: Do not over tighten the retainer.

7.Plug the keyed chordset into the transformer assembly.

8.Thread the cable nut onto the transducer retainer. Ensure the cable nut threads are aligned correctly and hand-tighten.
