EL3000 CONTINUOUS GAS ANALYZERS |  CI/EL3000-EN REV. C  11 
 
 
 
 
Special conditions 
•  The cables must be inserted into the cable glands properly 
and gasketed by tightening the screws so that the IP 65 
housing protection is maintained. 
Unused cable glands must be sealed with suited sealing 
plugs, so that the IP 65 housing protection is guaranteed 
here as well. 
•  During operation, the unused purge gas connections must be 
sealed with sealing plugs. 
•  If there is an explosion hazard at the installation site of the 
gas analyzer, the housing must not be opened when live and 
the connectors must not be disconnected when live. 
•  Due to the low mechanical stability of the viewing glass, the 
gas analyzer must be designed and operated in such a way 
that mechanical damage to the viewing glass with an energy 
greater than 2 J can be excluded. If the viewing glass 
becomes nevertheless damaged to the point that the IP 65 
housing protection is no longer met, the gas analyzer must 
be decommissioned, secured against recommissioning and 
repaired. 
•  Due to the low UV resistance of the plastic parts of the 
housing, the gas analyzer must be designed and operated in 
such a way that the effect of UV radiation can be excluded. If 
the housing is nevertheless damaged by UV radiation to the 
point that the housing protection IP 65 is no longer 
maintained, the gas analyzer must decommissioned, secured 
against recommissioning and repaired. 
 
 
Replacing the battery 
•  The battery may only be replaced in a non-hazardous 
atmosphere. 
•  Only the original battery may be used as a spare: lithium 
button cell 3 V type Varta CR2032.
