Description
The ABB EL3060 is an EasyLine continuous gas analyzer designed for process gas measurement in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The system uses a flameproof EL3060-CU control unit that can accommodate an oxygen analyzer or thermal conductivity analyzer. The Uras26 infrared photometer is installed in a separate flameproof analyzer housing and communicates with the control unit.
Available analyzer technologies include the Uras26 infrared photometer, Magnos206 and Magnos28 paramagnetic oxygen analyzers, and Caldos25 and Caldos27 thermal conductivity analyzers. Compatible analyzer combinations enable measurement of multiple gas components within one EL3060 system.
The EL3060 is designed for hazardous-area applications and supports ATEX and IECEx configurations for Zone 1 installations. The front operator interface allows operation through the explosion-proof viewing window without opening the enclosure.

Gas Connections
Gas connections use internal flame barriers manufactured from rust-resistant and acid-resistant stainless steel 1.4571.
The standard connection interface uses 1/8 NPT female threads.
Depending on the analyzer configuration, connections may include:
-
Sample gas inlet
-
Sample gas outlet
-
Housing purge gas inlet and outlet
-
Pressure sensor connection
-
Uras26 reference-gas connections
Installation & Commissioning
-
Verify the exact EL3060 analyzer configuration from the device data sheet before installation.
-
Confirm installed analyzer modules, measuring components, and measurement ranges.
-
Install the analyzer indoors on a structure rated for the unit weight.
-
Maintain adequate natural air circulation and avoid external heat sources.
-
Connect local potential equalization before other electrical connections.
-
Verify sample-gas pressure, flow, and dew-point conditions before commissioning.
-
Install the required external flow restrictor in the sample-gas line.
-
Check the sample-gas path for leak tightness before operation.
-
Allow the installed analyzer modules to complete their required warm-up period before applying normal sample gas.
-
Verify calibration after transport and installation.
Replacement and Configuration Notes
-
EL3060 identifies a configurable analyzer system rather than one fixed measuring configuration.
-
Confirm the analyzer data sheet before replacing an existing system.
-
Match installed analyzer modules, gas components, measuring ranges, I/O configuration, and hazardous-area approvals.
-
Uras26 configurations require the corresponding EL3060 control unit.
-
Optional Modbus, PROFIBUS, pressure-sensor, purge, and I/O configurations should not be assumed from the EL3060 model name alone.
