ABB EasyLine EL3060 hazardous area gas analyzer

ABB EasyLine EL3060 – Hazardous Area Gas Analyzer for Zone 1 Applications

The ABB EasyLine EL3060 is a rugged, flameproof gas analyzer system designed for continuous gas measurement in Zone 1 hazardous areas. Built to comply with stringent ATEX and IECEx certifications, the EL3060 ensures safe and reliable gas analysis in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres, including those containing hydrogen or acetylene.

Engineered for Hazardous Areas

With Ex-d flameproof enclosures and Category 2G certification, the EL3060 is purpose-built for harsh conditions in industries such as petrochemical, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and biogas. Its robust design eliminates the need for enclosure purging, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance risks.

Modular and Configurable Design

Based on ABB’s proven Advance Optima platform, the EL3060 offers flexible configurations to match complex gas monitoring requirements. The system can integrate up to two analyzers with a central control unit, allowing for multi-component gas analysis with internal cross-sensitivity correction.

Analyzer Options:

• Uras26 Infrared Photometer – Measures gases like CO, NO, and SO₂ via infrared absorption.

• Magnos206 / Magnos28 Oxygen Analyzers – For precise oxygen (O₂) measurements in process gases.

• Caldos25 / Caldos27 Thermal Conductivity Analyzers – Detects gases like H₂, Ar, CH₄, and N₂ based on thermal conductivity differences.

Key Features:

• Certified for Zone 1 hazardous environments

• Modular setup to measure up to five gas components

• Touchscreen operation via flameproof glass without opening the housing

• Multilingual interface for easy navigation

• Communication via Ethernet, Modbus, and PROFIBUS

• Factory wiring enables safe external connections without compromising Ex-d integrity

Typical Applications:

• Monitoring gas mixtures in flammable and non-flammable gas environments

• Chemical and petrochemical plants

• Pharmaceutical and process industries

• Biogas production and waste gas monitoring

• Gas measurement in storage, transport, and processing facilities

The ABB EL3060 combines safety, performance, and flexibility, making it a top choice for continuous gas analysis in explosive environments. Its plug-and-play design, reliable analyzer modules, and intuitive user interface make it suitable for even the most demanding industrial applications.
