2008-09-18 - ABB the Ex-perts release a new analysers with completely flameproof housing that can be used in plants with potentially explosive gas atmospheres of Zone 1 and Zone 2
ABB, the world leading power and automation technology group, announced the release of their new gas analyser series EL3060. The EL3060 analyser unifies ABB's measuring techniques with many years of competence in continuous monitoring of gases for hazardous areas. The completely flameproof housing fulfils 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.
Compactly built
The series EL3060 is conveniently compactly built. The paramagnetic oxygen and thermal conductivity analysers have been dramatically reduced in size and can be integrated into the housing of the control unit. The Infrared Photometer is built into its own flameproof housing. This enables all the options available to be fully utilised.
Easy to combine
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 it is possible to perform complex monitoring requirements measuring up to five components with one device, using one control unit and one indicating device.
Safe installation
The control unit is equipped with a separate terminal box which is completely protected. This ensures that customers can safely and easily connect flexible signal lines for analogue and digital outputs, Profibus or Modbus, as well as status signals, without compromising the hazardous area protection standard.
Simple to operate
The multi-lingual, menu-driven operating interface enables the analyser to be operated simply and intuitively. The menu structure is consistent and equivalent to the entire approved EasyLine series with the touch keys actuated through an explosion-proof glass pane. This makes the operation safe and continually reliable without needing the housing to be opened.
