OCX 8800
The equipment measures oxygen percentage by reading the voltage
developed across a heated electrochemical cell, which consists of a small
yttria-stabilized, zirconia disc. Both sides of the disc are coated with porous
metal electrodes. When operated at the proper temperature, the millivolt
output of the cell is given by the following Nernst equation:
EMF = KT log10 (P
Where:
1. P
is the partial pressure of the oxygen in the measured gas on one side
2
of the cell.
2. P
is the partial pressure of the oxygen in the reference air on the
1
opposite side of the cell.
3. T is the absolute temperature.
4. C is the cell constant.
5. K is an arithmetic constant.
NOTE
For best results, use clean, dry instrument air (20.95% oxygen) as the
reference air.
When the cell is at operating temperature and there are unequal oxygen
concentrations across the cell, oxygen ions will travel from the high oxygen
partial pressure side to the low oxygen partial pressure side of the cell. The
resulting logarithmic output voltage is approximately 50 mV per decade. The
output is proportional to the inverse logarithm of the oxygen concentration.
Therefore, the output signal increases as the oxygen concentration of the
sample gas decreases. This characteristic enables the OCX 8800 to provide
exceptional sensitivity at low oxygen concentrations.
1/P2
) + C
The OCX 8800 measures net oxygen concentration in the presence of all the
products of combustion, including water vapor. Therefore, it may be
considered an analysis on a "wet" basis. In comparison with older methods,
such as the portable apparatus, which provides an analysis on a "dry" gas
basis, the "wet" analysis will, in general, indicate a lower percentage of
oxygen. The difference will be proportional to the water content of the
sampled gas stream.
The OCX 8800 combustibles sensor is a catalytic sensor consisting of two
Resistance Devices (RTD). One RTD is the reference element covered with
an inert coating. The other RTD element is active, coated with a catalyst. As
the sample gases flow by the sensor, the combustible gases oxidize on the
surface of the active element. The oxidation that occurs produces heat and a
temperature rise in the active element. The temperature difference produces
a resistance relationship between the two elements that is directly
proportional to the concentration of combustibles in the sample gases.

OCX 8800
Instruction Manual
IM-106-880, Rev 1.0
January 2007
The catalyst is specifically designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO), but the
sensor responds to other combustible gases. The sensor is calibrated using
CO, thus the output should be expressed in terms of CO. However, since the
sensor detects other combustible gases, the output cannot just be labeled
CO. The response of the sensor to other combustible gases gives an output
that is equivalent to the sensor detecting CO. The term COe is used in this
manual to describe the sensor output. This term indicates that the sensor is
calibrated in terms of CO, and that the sensor output is equivalent to CO but
not specific to CO.
Dilution air is provided to the COe sensor to ensure there is adequate oxygen
to fully oxidize any combustible gases regardless of the concentration of
oxygen in the process.
System Configuration
Transmitters are available in four lengths, giving the user the flexibility to use
a penetration appropriate to the size of the stack or duct. The length options
are 18 in. (457 mm), 3 ft (0.91 m), 6 ft (1.83 m), or 9 ft (2.7 m). Probes are
available in three material options, 316L stainless steel, inconel 600, and
ceramic to accommodate higher temperatures.
The electronics are contained in a separate housing from the sensors. The
electronics and sensor housings are integrally mounted.
The electronics control both sensor temperatures and provide individual 4-20
mA isolated outputs that are proportional to the measured oxygen and
combustibles concentrations. The power supply can accept voltages of 100 to
240 VAC and 50 to 60 Hz. The electronics accepts millivolt signals generated
by the sensors and produces the outputs to be used by remotely connected
devices. The outputs are isolated 4-20 mA linearized currents. Refer to
Section 3, Configuration and Startup for specific instructions upon initial
power up.
System Features
1. The O
concentration decreases.
2. HART communication is standard. To use the HART capability, you
must have either:
a. HART Model 275/375 Communicator.
b. AMS software for the PC.
3. Oxygen cell and heater/thermocouple assembly are field replaceable.
4. Electronics are automatically configured for line voltages from 100 to
240 VAC.

5. An operator can calibrate and diagnostically troubleshoot the OCX 8800
using the HART Interface. Each of the OCX 8800's 4-20 mA output lines
transmit an analog signal proportional to oxygen or combustible levels
detected. The HART output is superimposed on the oxygen 4-20 mA
output line only. This information can be accessed through the following:
•Model 275/375 Handheld Communicator - The handheld
communicator requires Device Description (DD) software specific
to the OCX 8800. The DD software will be supplied with many
Model 275/375 units, but can also be programmed into existing
units at most Emerson Process Management service offices.
Refer to Section 4, Using HART Communications, for additional
information.
•Personal Computer (PC) - The use of a personal computer
requires AMS software available from Emerson Process
Management.
•Selected Distributed Control Systems - The use of distributed
control systems requires input/output (I/O) hardware and AMS
software which permit HART communications.
6. Optional Blowback System. The blowback system periodically blows
instrument air back through the sample line filter and out the sample
tube. This clears out particulate and keeps the sample line filter from
clogging.
System Operation
Figure 1-2 shows the relationship between the components of the OCX 8800.
The sensors and the electronics are contained in separate housings. The
sensor housing and probe mounts to a duct or process wall so that the probe
protrudes into the flue gas stream. An air powered eductor continuously pulls
samples of the process flue gas through the probe to a chamber in front of the
sensor housing where the sample passes the O
the COe sensor. Dilution air is provided to the COe sensor and reference air
to the O
the COe sensor, it is drawn through the eductor where it mixes with the
eductor air and exits through exhaust back into the system. The electronics
housing contains the CPU and HART boards which convert the sensor inputs
into 4-20 mA analog output signals. The CPU can also initiate and perform
calibrations. Three test gasses and instrument air can be turned on and off by
solenoids. Test gas flow to the sensors is regulated by a flow meter between
the electronics and sensor housings. Instrument air is separated into eductor
air, reference air, and dilution air. The instrument air solenoid does not allow
air flow until the heaters are up to temperature. This minimizes the amount of
sampled process flue gas being pulled into cold sensors causing
condensation.

Handling the OCX 8800
It is important that printed circuit boards and integrated circuits are handled only when
adequate antistatic precautions have been taken to prevent possible equipment damage.
The OCX 8800 is designed for industrial application. Treat each component of the system
with care to avoid physical damage. The probe may contain components made from
ceramics, which are susceptible to shock when mishandled.
System Considerations
Prior to installing your OCX 8800, make sure you have all the components
necessary to make the system installation. Ensure all the components are
properly integrated to make the system functional.

OCX 8800
After verifying that you have all the components, select mounting locations
and determine how each component will be placed in terms of available line
voltage, ambient temperatures, environmental considerations, convenience,
and serviceability. Figure 1-3 shows a typical system wiring. Simplified
installations for the OCX 8800 are shown in Figure 1-4.
A source of instrument air is required at the OCX 8800 for reference air,
dilution air, and eductor air. Since the OCX 8800 is equipped with an in-place
calibration feature, provision should be made for connecting test gas tanks to
the OCX 8800 when it is to be calibrated.
NOTE
The electronics module is designed to meet NEMA 4 (IP66) and the electronic
components are rated to temperatures up to 185°F (85°C).
Retain packaging in which the unit arrived from the factory in case any
components are to be shipped to another site. This packaging has been

MECHANICAL
INSTALLATION
Selecting Location
1. The location of the OCX 8800 in the stack or flue is most important for
maximum accuracy in the oxygen analyzing process. The probe must
be positioned so the gas it measures is representative of the process.
Best results are normally obtained if the transmitter is positioned near
the center of the duct (40-60% insertion). Longer ducts may require
several transmitters since the oxygen and combustibles can vary due to
stratification. A point too near the wall of the duct or the inside radius of
a bend, may not provide a representative sample because of the very
low flow conditions. The sensing point should be selected so the
process gas temperature falls within the range of probe material used.
Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-3 provide mechanical installation
references. The ambient temperature inside the electronics housing
must not exceed 185°F (85°C).
2. Check the flue or stack for holes and air leakage. The presence of this
condition will substantially affect the accuracy of the oxygen and
combustibles readings. Therefore, either make the necessary repairs or
install the transmitter up stream of any leakage.
3. Ensure the area is clear of internal and external obstructions that will
interfere with installation and maintenance access to the unit. Allow
adequate clearance for the removal of the OCX 8800.
Do not allow the temperature of the electronics housing to exceed 185°F (85°C) or damage
to the electronics may result.
Whenever a positive stack pressure exists at the installation site, be sure to connect all
pneumatic lines prior to installing the OCX 8800 in the stack or ductwork. Failure to connect
the pneumatic lines can allow the flow of contaminants into the OCX 8800 ports.
Before installing the OCX 8800 into a hot stack or ductwork, make sure that the OCX 8800
is turned on and at normal operating temperature. Exposing a cold OCX transmitter to hot
process gases can cause permanent damage to the equipment.
Installation
1. Ensure all components are available to install the OCX 8800.
2. The OCX 8800 may be installed intact as it is received.
3. Weld or bolt adapter plate (Figure 2-2) onto the duct.
2-2
Instruction Manual
IM-106-880, Rev 1.0
January 2007
OCX 8800
4. Ensure the conduits drop vertically from the OCX 8800 and the conduit
is routed below the level of the conduit ports on the housing to form a
drip loop. Drip loops minimize the possibility that moisture will damage
the electronics (Figure 2-3).
5. Where a positive stack pressure exists at the installation site, connect all
pneumatic lines prior to installing the OCX 8800 in the stack or
ductwork.
NOTE
If process temperatures will exceed 392°F (200°C), use anti-seize compound
on stud threads to ease future removal of the OCX 8800.
6. Insert sample and exhaust tubes through the opening in the mounting
flange and bolt the unit to the flange.
Uninsulated stacks or ducts may cause ambient temperatures in the electronics housing to
exceed 185°F (85°C) and damage the electronics.
7. If insulation is removed to access the duct for OCX 8800 mounting,
make sure to replace insulation afterward.
Enclosures
The OCX 8800 enclosures are designed to meet ingress conditions of IP66.
Each enclosure cover is threaded to its base and sealed with an o-ring that
isolates the threads from external contaminants.
Each cover is secured by a clip attached to the base that engages the cover
between the ribs of the cover sidewall. The clip is held in place by an Allen
head cap screw and lockwasher mounted in a recess. Cover removal and
installation requires an Allen wrench to loosen and tighten the screw.

Reference Air Set, Solenoids, and Blowback Option
The blowback system blows instrument air back through the blowback filter
and out the sample tube of the transmitter. This removes built up dirt and
particulate from the filter and sample line. The blowback option is normally
used in systems that have a dirty process stream.
Installing an OCX 8800 with the blowback option requires the addition of air
operated blowback valve, regulator and gage, and check valve.
Figure 2-7 shows the piping arrangement for the OCX 8800 with the blowback
and autocalibration options. Figure 2-8 shows the piping arrangement for the
OCX 8800 with the blowback option, but without autocalibration (without test
gas solenoids).
When the reference air set, calibration gas solenoids, and blowback options
are included with your transmitter, use the following procedure to install the
pneumatic system components.
1. Connect the calibration gas sources according to the instructions in the
previous paragraph “Reference Air Set and Solenoids Option”, steps 2
through 5.
2. Connect a clean, dry, instrument-quality supply of air (20.95% O
35/45 psig and 55 psig pressure regulators. The inlet to the 35/45 psig
regulator accepts a 1/8" NPT fitting. The inlet to the 55 psig regulator
accepts a 1/4" NPT fitting.

35/45 psi regulator/filter to one port of the normally-closed air-operated
solenoid valve, and to the inlet side of the dilution air flow meter.
4. Connect the dilution air flow meter output to the DILUTION AIR inlet
fitting on the sensor housing.
5. Install an instrument air line between the open port of the normally-open
air-operated solenoid valve and the tee fitting on the sensor housing.
6. Connect the output of the 55 psi regulator/filter to one port of the
normally-open air-operated solenoid valve, and to the instrument air
inlet on the back of the electronics housing.

will either revert to normal operation or continue to indicate an alarm status
condition. If the equipment does not revert to normal operation when a fault
condition is cleared, or if instructed to do so in Section 7, Troubleshooting,
use the following procedure to reset the OCX 8800.
OCX Reset with HART
Remove the OCX 8800 from the process loop and recycle power.
OVERVIEWThe HART communicator is a handheld communications interface device. It
provides a common communications link to all microprocessor-based
instruments that are HART compatible. The handheld communicator contains
an 8 x 21 character liquid crystal display (LCD) and 25 keys. A pocket-sized
manual, included with the HART communicator, details the specific functions
of all the keys.
To interface with the OCX 8800, the HART communicator requires a
termination point along the O
resistance of 250 ohms between the communicator and the power supply.
The HART communicator accomplishes its task using a Frequency Shift
Keying (FSK) technique. With the use of FSK, high-frequency digital
communication signals are superimposed on the 4-20 mA oxygen output
signal. The communicator does not disturb the 4-20 mA signal since no net
energy is added to the loop. HART information is not available on the COe
output signal.

is correctly measuring net concentrations of O
industrial process.
Before calibrating the OCX 8800, verify that the calibration gas parameters
are correct by setting the test gas values used when calibrating the unit. Refer
to Section 3, Configuration and Startup.
There are three calibration methods available to the OCX 8800; automatic,
operator-initiated automatic, and manual. Calibration commands and menus
can be accessed by HART/AMS.
If the OCX 8800 is equipped with calibration solenoids, the unit can be
programmed to automatically calibrate without any operator action. Refer to
the following paragraphs for using HART/AMS to set up the OCX 8800 for
fully automatic calibration.

Install OCX 8800
Observe the following cautions when installing the OCX 8800 in a hot process
stack. If the process is shut down and cooled, the transmitter can be installed
in the stack prior to connecting the pneumatics and wiring.
Before installing the OCX 8800 into a hot stack or ductwork, make sure that the OCX 8800
is turned on and at normal operating temperature. Exposing a cold OCX transmitter to hot
process gases can cause permanent damage to the equipment.
Whenever a positive stack pressure exists at the installation site, be sure to connect all
pneumatic lines prior to installing the OCX 8800 in the stack or ductwork. Failure to connect
the pneumatic lines can allow the flow of contaminants into the OCX 8800 ports.
1. Connect the test gas lines and the instrument air lines to the electronics
housing.
2. Remove the electronics housing cover.
3. Install customer power and signal conduits and wiring at the electronics
housing.
4. If used, connect external relay leads to the alarm output relay terminal
block, Figure 6-2.
5. Connect the O
and COe signal leads to the 4-20 mA signal output
2
terminal block.
6. Connect the line (L1 wire) to the L1 terminal, and the neutral (N wire) to
the N terminal on the AC power input terminal block.
7. Connect the ground lead to the ground stud. Secure the connection with
two nuts. Attach a separate ground lead (G wire) from the ground stud
to the G terminal on the power input terminal block.
8. Install the cover on the electronics housing.
9. Restore power to the system. Allow OCX to reach normal operating
temperature before installing in a hot process stack.
10. Bolt the OCX 8800 to the stack and install insulation. Refer to Figure 6-1
and make sure all test gas lines and electrical connections are
complete.

The ‘R’ type fitting is a reference air line fitting for the general purpose and
hazardous area sensor housings. This is a 1/4 inch tube fitting with a
built-in 0.007 inch restrictor orifice.
Remove Tube FittingsThe OCX construction includes pipe thread sealant to seal fittings in all ports
that pass through to an outer wall of the instrument housing base. Use the
following instructions to loosen and remove tube fittings that are secured with
pipe thread sealant.
Use heat resistant gloves when removing a damaged tube fitting. The pipe threads are
bonded with a pipe thread sealant. The thread sealant softens at 450°F (232°C). The
heated parts can cause severe burns.
1. Secure sensor housing (1, Figure 6-25) or electronics housing (2) in soft

Install Tube Fittings1. Verify that the replacement tube fitting is identical to the item removed.
Special fittings are etched with code markings.
2. Apply pipe thread sealant (Loctite #567) to the mating threads of the
tube fitting. Do not apply sealant to the first turn of the external pipe
threads.
3. Install and tighten the tube fitting in the mating port of sensor or
electronics housing.
Install all protective equipment covers and safety ground leads after troubleshooting.
Failure to install covers and ground leads could result in serious injury or death.
OVERVIEWThe troubleshooting section describes how to identify and isolate faults that
may develop in the OCX 8800. When troubleshooting the OCX 8800,
reference the following information.
GroundingIt is essential that adequate grounding precautions are taken when installing
the system. Thoroughly check both the probe and electronics to ensure the
grounding quality has not degraded during fault finding. The system provides
facilities for 100% effective grounding and total elimination of ground loops.
Electrical NoiseThe OCX 8800 has been designed to operate in the type of environment
normally found in a boiler room or control room. Noise suppression circuits
are employed on all field terminations and main inputs. When fault finding,
evaluate the electrical noise being generated in the immediate circuitry of a
faulty system. Ensure all cable shields are connected to earth.
Electrostatic DischargeElectrostatic discharge can damage ICs in the electronics. Before removing or
handling the processor board or the ICs, ensure you are at ground potential.

Total Power LossIn the event that the OCX 8800 will not power up at all, check the incoming
power supply to make sure power is being delivered to the OCX 8800. If the
incoming power supply is good, then check fuses F1 and F6 in the electronics
housing. Refer to Figure 7-1 for fuse locations.

Always install a blocking diode on the customers relay coil. Failure to install a blocking diode
may create noise spikes and cause faults in the OCX electronics.

The OCX 8800 is equipped with a set of alarm relay contacts on the
microprocessor board in the electronics housing. This set of dry contacts can
be connected to any customer supplied relay device, 30 VDC, 30 mA
maximum. A blocking diode is required on the customers relay coil.
Any fault condition in the OCX 8800 will trip the alarm relay. The optional SPA
with HART programmable alarm indicates LOW O2, HIGH COe, Calibration
Status, and Unit Failure. For more information refer to Appendix B - SPA with
HART Alarm.
