ABB EL3060 Explosion proof Continuous Gas Analyzer
The ABB EL3060 is a compact, flameproof continuous gas analyzer from ABB’s EasyLine series, engineered specifically for hazardous areas (Zone 1/2) per ATEX/IECEx standards. It integrates a flameproof control unit (EL3060-CU) with optional plug‑and‑play analyzer modules—including Magnos28 (paramagnetic O₂), Caldos25/27 (thermal conductivity), or Uras26 (NDIR infrared)—to measure up to 5 gas components in one device. The EL3060 features a touchscreen interface for safe, through‑the‑glass operation without opening the enclosure, and leverages ABB’s decades‑proven measurement tech from the Advance Optima line for high reliability.
Intended Use
- Primary Role: Continuous, real‑time gas concentration monitoring in explosive or harsh industrial environments.
- Core Functions:
- Measure infrared‑active gases (CO, NO, SO₂) via Uras26 NDIR photometer.
- Analyze oxygen (O₂) via Magnos28 paramagnetic sensor.
- Detect thermal conductivity gases (H₂, Ar, CH₄) via Caldos25/27 modules.
- Provide cross‑sensitivity correction for up to 5 components and support for ABB Ability digital services (remote monitoring, QR‑code diagnostics).
- Application Goals: Ensure safety compliance, optimize process efficiency, and enable emissions monitoring in hazardous zones.
