8 EL3060 CONTINUOUS GAS ANALYZERS | OI/EL3060-EN REV. A
Safety information
Intended use
Intended application of the gas analyzer
The gas analyzers of the EL3060 series are intended for the continuous
quantitative determination of individual gas components in gas mixtures.
Any other application is not compliant with the specified use. The specified
use also includes taking note of this operating instruction.
The gas analyzer is suitable for measuring non-flammable and flammable
gases under atmospheric conditions, which can occasionally form a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere (Zone 1). The mixing ratio of these gases should
be clearly below the lower explosive limit (LEL) or clearly above the upper
explosive limit (UEL). Exceptions can be e.g. startup and shutdown condi-
tions.
A special version of the gas analyzer is suitable for measuring non-flammable
and flammable gases under positive pressure (see page 22) if special condi-
tions are met.
The gas analyzer may not be used for measuring gases that attack the mate-
rials in contact with the sample medium (e.g. gases containing chlorine).
The EL3060-Uras26 analyzer unit may only be operated in conjunction with
the EL3060-… control unit (see page 14).
Important safety note
According to EU Directive 2014/34/EU and the general requirements for
equipment installed in explosive atmospheres stated in IEC 60079-0, the
scope of the certification of our equipment is limited to atmospheric condi-
tions, unless specified otherwise in our certificates.
Atmospheric conditions are defined as follows:
• Temperature range −20 to +60 °C
• Pressure range p
abs
= 80 to 110 kPa (0.8 to 1.1 bar)
• Ambient air with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % vol.
If the atmospheric conditions are not met, the operator is obliged to ensure
the safe operation of our equipment outside the atmospheric conditions by
means of further measures (for example, assessment of the gas mixture)
and / or supplementary protection devices.
