888Xi Advanced Electronics Instruction ManualTable of Contents
The purpose of this manual is to provide information concerning components, functions, installation and maintenance of the 6888Xi Electronics. Some sections may describe equipment not
used in your configuration. The user should become thoroughly familiar with the operation of
this module before operating it. Read this instruction manual completely.
Definitions
The following definitions apply to WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES
WARNING
Highlights an operation or maintenance procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc. If not strictly
observed, could result in injury, death, or long-term health hazards of personnel.
CAUTION
Highlights an operation or maintenance procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc. If not strictly
observed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment, or loss of effectiveness.
NOTE
Highlights an essential operating procedure, condition, or statement.
The 6888Xi is specifically designed to control a zirconium oxide probe for measuring oxygen,
usually the O2 remaining from a combustion process. Call the Rosemount Analytical Customer
Support Center (CSC) in Solon, Ohio, to get recommendations for other oxygen probes. 800433-6076 (US and Canada), or 440-914-1261 (International).
The 6888Xi electronics has several main functions:
1. Heater Control - The electronics receives a type K thermocouple input from an O2probe and
switches power on and off to the probe's heater in order to maintain a temperature setpoint
of 736 degrees C.
2. Signal Conditioning - The electronics receives the raw millivolt signal from the O2sensing
cell, then linearizes and amplifies the signal to provide a linear 4-20 mA output signal used
for recording or as an input into a DCS system for control purposes.
3. Calibration - A bottled calibration gas of known value is typically flowed into the probe's sensor to verify that it is reading correctly. If the signal is out of calibration, the calibration gas is
used to adjust the 4-20 mA output signal. During calibration the 6888Xi prompts the technician to flow two calibration gases into the probe and, with the calibration gases flowing,
automatically adjusts the O2signal. With the addition of a Single Probe Sequencer (SPS), the
6888Xi Advanced Electronics can also switch the calibration gases on and off.
4. Diagnostics - Multiple alarms are available for display. The alarm displays are intended to
assist a technician in locating where an instrument problem may reside.
The 6888Xi Advanced Electronics has been verified to operate the following probes:
• Westinghouse 218 and World Class
• Rosemount Analytical Oxymitter
• Yokogawa
