New Gas Analysers for Hazardous Areas

The new gas analyser series EL3060 unifies ABB measuring techniques with many years of competence in continuous monitoring of gases for hazardous areas. The completely flameproof housing fulfills all the requirements of Category II 2G and due to its high safety standards can be used in plants with potentially explosive gas atmospheres of Zone 1 and Zone 2.

The series EL3060 is convincingly compactly built. The paramagnetic oxygen and thermal conductivity analysers have been dramatically reduced in size and can therefore be integrated into the housing of the control unit. The Infrared Photometer is built into its own flameproof housing. This assures the possibility to make use of all the available options.

The paramagnetic oxygen Analyser Magnos206, as well as the thermal conductivity analysers Caldos27 and Caldos25, can be combined with the Infrared Photometer Uras26. This means that complex measuring requirements measuring up to five components with one device, using one control unit and one indicating device, is possible.

The control unit is equipped with a separate terminal box which is completely protected. This way the customer can safely and easily connect flexible signal lines for analog and digital output, Profibus or Modbus, as well as status signals, without compromising the hazardous area protection.

The multi-lingual, menu driven operating interface enables the analyser to be intuitively operated. The menu structure is consistent for all the Analysers and is equivalent to the approved EasyLine series. Touch Keys are actuated through an explosion-proof glass pane. This makes the operation safe and continually reliable without the housing having to be opened.

ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 115,000 people.
