BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This section lists all of the parts and tools required to perform the upgrade. Ensure that all of these
items 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 reinstall the transducer assemblies.
Failure to follow the Ultrasonic Extractor Tool Operation Manual (3-9000-729) procedures
may 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 be
required to remove the transducer assembly while the meter and associated piping remains
under pressure. If you do NOT have this tool, it can be purchased or rented from Daniel
Measurement Services.

KEY POINTS
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
DO NOT proceed with the transducer upgrade if the original component lengths are not
available. Obtain the Zero Flow Calibration Data Sheet from Daniel. The original
component lengths of all equipment being replaced must be known in order to calculate
the 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 the
meter 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 older
versions will work, the latest version is always recommended.
All the screen images in this document are from Daniel CUI 3.10. Daniel CUI updates are
available at the following website: http://www.emersonprocess.com/daniel/.
•
Transducers are always replaced in pairs, and it is recommended they be installed one pair
at a time to avoid accidental interchange of components, leading to erroneous dimensions.
When replacing the transducers, it is important to note their position (upstream or
downstream) and replace them in the correct location to ensure proper low-velocity
performance. Each transducer pair is marked with either a number 1 or 2 that relates to the
meter location (i.e. A1, A2, B1, B2, etc). The number “1” transducers must be installed in
a location such as A1, B1, C1 or D1 and the “2” transducer must be installed in the
corresponding A2, B2, C2 or D2.
•
The transducer kit, P/N 2-9-3400-847, includes four pairs of transducers and is designed for
the 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, contact
Daniel Measurement Services for a list of components and part numbers.

DANIEL T-2 TO T-11 TRANSDUCER UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
Older transducer assemblies (transducer, stalk, and holder) did not have the lengths etched
on the individual component. New ones do. These lengths are required for the Daniel CUI
3.10 software to calculate the new chord length.
To ensure that the required information is available, it is highly recommended that the original
Zero Flow Calibration Data Sheet be obtained from Daniel prior to replacing the transducer
pair.
The data sheet, shown in Figure 4-13, provides all of the serial numbers (S/N) and length data
pertaining to the meter’s original transducer assembly components. This data sheet can be obtained
by contacting Daniel Measurement Services at 713-827-6314.
•
Prior to replacing the transducers, it is imperative that each of the transducer pairs be
installed in the correct location (i.e. A1, A2, etc) since changing the transducers, or any
components of the assembly, will impact the chord length. Mark the location on the
Transducer Pair Data Sheet (see Figure 4-13, the data sheet included in the upgrade kit for
new transducers), and also mark the location on the side of the transducer with the marker
pen (see Figure 4-5 for these components). This will prevent any confusion when the
transducers are installed and the meter’s configuration parameters are updated. The values
on the Transducer Pair Data Sheet relate to a unique pair of transducers. Do not mix
transducers from different pairs.
•
It is recommended that only one pair (i.e. A1 & A2 or B1 & B2 etc.) of transducer assemblies
be 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, ensure
that the transducer location (i.e. A1, A2, etc) is marked on one of the flats of the 1¼" holder
head (see Figure 4-4). Ensure the marking will not be accidentally erased during removal
of the old transducer.
•
When the transducers are replaced, the applicable chord parameters must be updated. Use
the Transducer Swap-out Wizard in Daniel CUI (see Figures 4-6 through 4-9 for screen shots
of this wizard). This procedure requires writing changes to the meter. If the write-protection
jumper (JP2 on the DFI Board) is installed, it will need to be removed.

TRANSDUCER UPGRADE PROCEDURE
1.
Prior to starting the transducer replacements, a minimum of a two-minute maintenance log
file 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 editing
the Daniel CUI automated file name shown in the Edit/Compare Configuration Wizard
screen (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 data
updated, 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 zero
flow. It can be seen on the Charts sheet in the maintenance log file.

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 extractor tool manual procedures may result in serious personal injury or
death and may cause equipment damage.
If the meter cannot be depressurized, refer to the Daniel Ultrasonic Extractor Tool Operation
Manual (P/N 3-9000-729). The most recent copy of this manual may be downloaded from the Daniel
website (http://www.emersonprocess.com/daniel/). Follow the steps in Section 4 of the Ultrasonic
Extractor Tool Operation Manual for removing the transducers under pressure, instead of steps 5
through 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 holder
cover and the mount cover using the marker pen. This will help facilitate rotational
alignment during the re-assembly. Remove the holder cover (see Figure 4-2) by completely
loosening the two captive screws. Gently pull back the cover and cable, unplug the cable and
expose the mount cover assembly.

After labeling the mount cover location (A1, A2, etc.), loosen the two screws in the mount
cover 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 the
mount 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 44). 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 the
meter/piping due to minor valve leakage.
Ensure there is no pressure buildup before completely unscrewing the holder. Carefully pull
out 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.
TRANSDUCER UPGRADE PROCEDURE

Loosen the three 6-32 set screws that hold the transducer in place. The screws do not need
to be completely removed. On some of the older assemblies, Loc-Tite™ is used on the set
screws. If the set screw is very tight and does not appear to come out without damage to the
wrench or the set screw, try heating the area around the set screw with a heat gun. Often this
will help in releasing the bond and allows the screw to be removed without damage. Use
caution when heating the stalk area around the set screw. Overheating may cause damage
to the stalk.
If the inside of the set screw is stripped due to Allen wrench slippage and the screws cannot be
extracted, it may be necessary to loosen the set screws by holding the stalk in place. If this is
the case, a new stalk must be obtained and installed. The length of the replacement stalk will
be required to update the meter configuration.

After all three set screws have been loosened, as shown in Figure 4-5, remove the transducer
from the holder assembly.
11.
Replace the O-rings and back-up rings on the transducer holder. It is recommended that they
be replaced while the transducer is removed from the holder/stalk to prevent damage to the
transducer.
12.
Install the new transducer designated for that location. The parts are keyed so that they only
fit together one way. Tighten the three set screws equally to lock the new transducer into
place. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Confirm the serial number of the transducer, and
installation 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 new
transducer pair.
TRANSDUCER UPGRADE PROCEDURE

D E C 2005
DANIEL T-2 TO T-11 TRANSDUCER UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
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 the
threads on the transducer holder.
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH POSSIBLE
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 the
Ultrasonic Extractor Tool manual, instead of step 16 in this procedure. Once the
transducer has been installed, continue with step 17.
Failure to follow the extractor tool manual procedures may result in serious personal injury or
death and may cause equipment damage.
16.
Carefully insert the assembly into the assigned transducer port. With the 1¼" wrench or
socket, tighten the holder in the mount, until it is snug and securely seated (specification
torque = 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 other
leak check method, check for leakage around the transducer mounts and holder. Fix any leak
before proceeding. If no leaks are detected, fully pressurize the meter to line conditions (or
at least 200 psi).
19.
Replace the mount covers in their original locations. Position them so the cover slips over
the 1 ¼” hex head screw of the transducer holder and the screw slots on the side allow access
to the screw-hole in the transducer mount underneath. Observe the alignment marks applied
in step 6. The metal locking plate on the surface of the cover can be rotated approximately
¼" to engage the plate on the 1¼" hex head of the holder. While holding the body of the
cover, rotate the locking plate by pushing on the tabs with the thumb and finger while
pushing down (see Figure 4-3). Once the locking plate is engaged and the cover is fully
seated 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 in
the cable. The internal connector is keyed to align with the holder. Observe the alignment
marks applied in step 6 to align the screws in the holder cover with the holes in the mount
cover. Also, note that there are small “V” shaped marks on the sides of the mount cover to
align it with the holder cover.
21.
Once the transducers have been replaced, the meter configuration must be updated for the
new chord length, Delay times and Delta Delay times. This is most easily done using the
Transducer Swap-out Wizard in Daniel CUI 3.10.
22.
Prior to making any changes to the meter’s configuration, open the communications
connection to the meter and ensure that all the transducers are operating correctly. The SOS
difference graph will show different values, but all chords should be operational. If any chord
has failed, troubleshoot and repair before proceeding.
The following steps discuss configuration changes required to maintain the meter’s accuracy. If the
jumpers (Mark II electronics) are configured for write-protection, they must be removed (see
Appendix A for detailed procedures).
23.
If the configuration has not yet been read from the meter and saved, do so now. Figure 4-6
shows an example of the Edit/Compare Configuration wizard.

REMOVAL AND RE-INSTALLATION OF WRITE-PROTECTION JUMPER ON
MARK II ELECTRONICS
If the jumper has been installed on JP2 on the DFI Board, then the meter configuration will be writeprotected. 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 related
to the chord length “L”, the delay and the delta delay times will need to be revised in order to
maintain the meter’s accuracy. It is then necessary to remove the jumper, change the applicable
configuration values and re-install the jumper.

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

Turn off power to the electronics.
3.
Disconnect the cable originating from the Field Connection Board by unplugging the
connector on the Power Supply Board (see Figure A-3). Loosen the screws completely to
unplug the connector.
4.
Completely loosen the four captive screws that hold the Electronics Board stack in the
enclosure. With the cable held to the side, grasp the screws and pull the assembly straight out
of the enclosure. The three-board assembly consisting of the Power Supply Board, the DFI
Board and the CPU Board are removed as a single unit.

As shown in Figure A-4, jumper JP2 is located near the outer edge of the DFI Board. Access
to 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 on
one of the pins so that the jumper is not lost. If the firmware version is 3.62 or later, then the
electronics can be re-installed so that the configuration can be changed. If the firmware
version is 3.34 or earlier, then jumper JP9 on the CPU Board (see Figure A-5) will also need
to be removed. As with jumper JP2 on the DFI Board, jumper JP9 on the CPU Board can
also be carefully removed by using a pair of needle nose pliers.

6.
Align the electronics assembly and re-install it in the enclosure, ensuring that the connection
between the electronics and the enclosure is correctly engaged. Tighten the four captive
screws and reconnect the cable from the Field Connection Board.
7.
Power up the electronics. With the write-protection jumper removed, it is now possible to
change 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 within
the expected tolerances, re-install jumper JP2 on the DFI Board, and jumper JP9 on the CPU
Board (if removed) using the same procedure as outlined above, except that the jumper needs
to be re-installed to the position it was originally found, bridging both jumper contact pins.
