3.2 Description
The GEMÜ 3040 is an ultrasonic flowmeter which determines
the volumetric flow of conductive and non-conductive liquids
in a contact-free manner. The flowmeter is suitable for al-
kaline, toxic and corrosive media and can also be used for DI
water. The backlit display enables the device to be pro-
grammed on-site. Empty pipe monitoring and a quantity
measuring device are integrated as standard.
3.2.1 Areas of application
The GEMÜ 3040 flowmeter is particularly suitable for measur-
ing very dynamic processes in piping. Liquids are the media
measured. It is used, for example, in the following:
– Chemical supply for controlling, logistics and monitor-
ing
– Cooling circuits, for monitoring
– Production machines for controlling and monitoring
the formulations
– Valve actuation for the continuous release of volumes
of liquids
– DI water supply
– Very dynamic processes with dosing times of less
than 1 s.

3.2.2 Measurement principle
Swimming against the current requires more strength than
swimming with the current. The ultrasonic flow measurement
in accordance with the phase differential method is based on
this simple physical fact:
Two sensors opposite each other alternately send and receive
ultrasonic signals. With a standing medium, both sensors re-
ceive the sent ultrasonic signals within the same phase, i.e.
no difference in phase occurs. With a flowing medium, a
phase shift takes place. When measured in the direction of
flow, it is different than when measuring against the direction
of flow. This phase difference is directly proportional to the
flow velocity. The flow volume is determined from the flow ve-
locity and the known pipe diameter.

9.2 Installation position
NOTICE
▶There is an arrow on the measurement channel of the
product symbolizing the direction of flow measurement.
The measurement device must be installed so that the
medium flows through it in the direction of the arrow.
TOP -> outlet
BOTTOM -> inlet
Fig.4: Ideal installation position of the product
To ensure gas is detected as quickly as possible, it is import-
ant to keep the line path between the storage tank and the
product as short as possible. Faultless measurement can only
be ensured if the line is filled completely and the liquid does
not outgas.
Deviating from this, it can be advantageous for dosing applic-
ations to position the product as closely as possible to the
dosing valve as the cross-sections of hose lines increase de-
pending on the system pressure. This can lead to differences
in reproducibility.
NOTICE
▶It must be ensured that no gas elements dissolve out of
the medium. Depending on the liquid, sufficient back
pressure on the outlet of the product can prevent the li-
quid from outgassing. Suitable sealing material must be
used during assembly. The use of Teflon tape or similar
must be avoided.
Any carried solid matter can lead to measurement errors.
When using pumps, the product must be installed in the flow
direction behind the pump on the pressure side to ensure that
there is sufficient pressure. The maximum pressure rating of
the product must be taken into account.
Straight and uninterrupted inlet and outlet distances for the
product must be complied with for a correct volume flow
measurement. Dependent on the nominal size, these are at
least:

9.3 Installation of the measurement device
The measurement device is installed using the process con-
nections in the pipe or tube line. To ensure optimal degassing,
we recommend mounting the product vertically in the line.
The device must not be mounted behind an outlet valve as it
can run empty otherwise. To prevent gas diffusion and blister
formation of the medium during flow measurement, the
product must always be installed on the pressure side of the
system pump.

Fig.6: Possible installation variants
For applications in "Clean Design", i.e. when it must be en-
sured that the lines are completely drained, we recommend
vertical installation of the measurement device. If the installa-
tion position is horizontal, remnants of liquid could remain in
the device due to the geometry of the channel in the measure-
ment channel interior.
Vibrations or mechanical stress can affect the accuracy of the
measurement device. If it is therefore necessary to addition-
ally fix the product in place due to vibrations or mechanical
movements, two fastening clamps can be fitted on the inlet or
outlet of the measurement device.
Fig.7: Fixing the product in place
CAUTION
▶The product must always be mounted so that it is mech-
anically stress-free. Extreme tension in the pipe system
can cause damage to the device.
▶In this respect, the axial channel offset of 5 mm (only
DN10–DN25) must be observed during assembly (see the
chapter "Technical data").
Application with hot liquids:
CAUTION
▶For applications in which the product is subjected to tem-
peratures higher than 60 °C and is mounted horizontally,
we recommend installing the measurement device with
the electronics housing positioned downwards. This
means that the heat can be emitted upwards and the load
on the device's electronics is reduced. It must generally
be ensured that no external heat sources are additionally
acting on the measurement device.
Fig.8: Using the product with hot media
WARNING
Installation in metallic piping in combination with high me-
dia temperatures.
▶You must remember that the metal piping and the plastic
body of the measurement device have different expan-
sion behaviours. The forces acting on the measurement
device because of this can cause the plastic body of the
product to become distorted and for the process connec-
tion to tear off.
▶To ensure the mechanically stress-free installation of the
product, appropriate measures must be taken on-site to
ensure that no forces can act on the plastic body, for ex-
ample, a flexible metal hose or strain curve.

10 Electrical connection
CAUTION
Electric shock by high voltage
▶Danger of injury or death caused by electric shock.
●The measurement device must not be installed, wired or dismantled while live with
operating voltage.
●The supply voltage of the product must be switched off during these procedures.

11.2.1 Language
The language for display and menu texts can be changed.
Choose between German, Spanish, French and English in the
relevant "Languages" submenu.
11.2.2 Dosing
WARNING
●A technical solution for overflow protection and an EMER-
GENCY STOP switch must be provided on-site. For safety
reasons, both functions must lead to the valve closing.
NOTICE
Important:
▶If the dosing time = 0, timeout is deactivated.
Manual dosing can be configured via the dosing menu. It is
possible to enter the required "Batch quantity" and a "Dosing
time" for this. The dosing time is intended as a safeguard to
prevent unintentional overfilling, but can also be deactivated
when the value "Zero" is entered. "Start" and "Stop" of a dosing
can also be carried out via the menu.
"Batch quantity" setting range: 0–3500 litres, in 0.001 litre
steps
"Batch quantity" factory set-
ting:
0 litres
"Dosing time" setting range: 0–3000 seconds, in 1 sec
steps with an accuracy of +0
-1.
"Dosing time" factory setting: 3 seconds
Example:
Dosing time = 3 seconds. This means that the product issues
the closing signal to the valve after 2.1 to 3.0 sec. The dosing
time is meant as a fail safe function. Precise dosing using just
dosing time is not advisable.

Setting range: -50.0 to 50.0% in steps of 0.1%
Factory setting: 0%
11.2.3.2 Leak flow volume
Leak flow volume suppression serves to exclude flows from
the measurement which can be created by convection within
a narrow scope around zero even with the valve closed. Leak
flow suppression is set at the factory to an advisable stand-
ard value in relation to the cross-section of the measurement
device.
There are greater tolerances under the error of measurement
below the factory setting. (see “Mechanical data“, page9)
Leak flow volume suppression operates with a hysteresis of –
25%.

Fig.10: Function of the leak flow volume suppression, using 0.6
l/min as an example
Example: Leak flow volume suppression = 0.6 l/min
If the flow falls below a value of 0.45 l/min, the pulse output/
analogue output becomes inactive. When 0.6 l/min is ex-
ceeded, the flow rate is output as a pulse again and is added
to the daily quantity counter. A value is also output at the ana-
logue output again.
Setting range: 0.0 to 36.0 l/min, in steps of 0.006 l/min
Factory setting:
– 0.3 l/min for DN10
– 0.9 l/min for DN15
– 3.5 l/min for DN20
– 5.0 l/min for DN25
– 9.0 l/min for DN32
– 18.0 l/min for DN40
– 36.0 l/min for DN50
