1 INTRODUCTION
The XZR400 Series Trace Oxygen Analyzer is designed to measure oxygen as an inpurity
in nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, helium or other inert gases. Analysis is both quick
and stable, utilizing our metallic sealed reference sensor (MSRS), with no requirement
for reference air.
There are 4 versions of the XZR400 analyzer. All are trace oxygen analyzers designed to
measure oxygen content in gas, between 0.01 ppm and 25% O2 (250,000 ppm).
Michell Instruments can supply the analyzer so that it is suitable for use with enriched
oxygen samples, including pure oxygen which may accidentally be introduced to the
sample. This cleaning service must be ordered at the time of purchase as special
components are required.
Extended operating ranges of 0 to 30% or 0 to 50% O2 can be supplied but will require
the analyzer to be cleaned for oxygen service.
INTRODUCTION
Typical applications include:
Gas purity
Inerting or blanketing specifi c atmospheres
Combustion pre-mixing analysis
Respiratory or medical gas mixtures
Heat treatment
Four models of the XZR400 Series Oxygen Analyzer are available:
• A rack-mount model XZR400A1 (XZR-400-RM)
• A wall-mount model XZR400A2 (XZR-400-WM)
• A bench-mount model XZR400A3 (XZR-400-BM)
• A transportable model XZR400A4 (XZR-400-TP)
NOTE: The rack-mount version can be supplied with a built-in Easidew
sensor for measuring moisture in the range -100 to +20 °C
Sample gases at pressures up to a maximum of 2 barg (29 psig) can be accepted.
Michell Instruments1
INTRODUCTION
The XZR400 Series includes the following front panel mounted items:
• Liquid crystal touchscreen display
• Flow adjustment valve
• Bypass control valve
1.1 Operating Principle
The analyzer operates on the zirconium oxide (zirconia) principle.
A sample of the gas to be measured is connected to the inlet port of the analyzer. The
sample gas fl ows through stainless steel pipework into the oven where the zirconia
oxygen sensor is located.
XZR400 Series User’s Manual
The sample fl ow should be set to between 1 and 3 l/hr using the electronic fl owmeter,
and sample and bypass needle valves on the front of the unit.
The sample gas circulates in the oven, which is heated to temperatures above 600°C,
necessary for the zirconia oxygen sensor to operate properly.
The Michell Metallic Sealed Reference Sensor (MSRS) generates a signal that is
proportional to the logarithm of the ratio of the oxygen partial pressure in the sample
to the oxygen partial pressure contained on the sealed reference side of the MSRS.
The analyzer provides the O2 concentration on the screen and via the 4-20 mA output
(optional on XZR400A3).
The optional Easidew Transmitter utilizes ceramic impeadance technology and further
details can be found on our website.

1.2 The MSRS Technology
The zirconium oxide sensors are often referred to as the ‘high temperature’
electrochemical sensors. The principle is based on the Nernst principle [W. H. Nernst
(1864-1941)]. Zirconium oxide sensors use a solid state electrolyte and are stabilized
with yttrium oxide. The zirconium oxide probe is plated on opposing sides with platinum
which serves as the sensor electrodes. For a zirconium oxide sensor to operate properly,
it must be heated to approximately 600°C. At this temperature, on a molecular basis,
the zirconia lattice becomes porous, allowing the movement of oxygen ions from a
higher concentration of oxygen to a lower one, based on the partial pressure of oxygen.
The movement of oxygen ions across the zirconium oxide produces a voltage between
the two electrodes, the magnitude of which is based on the oxygen partial pressure
differential created by the reference and sample gas.

With a known reference electrode and a constant temperature it is possible to defi ne
the partial pressure of oxygen using the Nernst-equation (see above).
The conductivity of zirconium oxide increases exponentially with temperature. The oxide
ion conductivity is optimized at temperatures above 600°C.
The MSRS technology allows the design of miniaturized zirconium oxide-based oxygen
sensors. The low mass and volume of the MSRS sensors have a positive effect on the
response time, which is one of the best available on the market.

MSRS Sensor
Conventional zirconium oxide sensors require an air reference on one side of the sensor
with the sample on the other. This provides a known constant on one side. The Michell
MSRS does not require an air reference but instead utilizes a metal, and its oxide,
sealed in the zirconium sheath. This allows the sensor operation to be irrespective of
the ambient air quality and negates the requirement for a ‘zero’ calibration gas.
Figure 3
MSRS Dimensions
Temperature is a major component in the Nernst equation and can affect the accuracy
of some sensors. Placing the thermocouple in contact with the small sensor body helps
provide a very accurate temperature measurement. The complete design offers high
accuracy and repeatability.

2.13 Gas Connection
To ensure that the sample gas is properly
conditioned a sampling system might be
Contact Michell Instruments if you wish to order
a suitable sampling system.
Sample gas connections are made via the gas input and gas output ports located on
the back panel (XZR400A1), bottom panel (XZR400A2), side panel (XZR400A3) or front
panel (XZR400A4) of the analyzer.
Both the input and output gas connections are 1/8” stainless steel Swagelok® couplings.
NOTE: To facilitate ease of connection to the port, at least 75mm (3") of the
tubing coming out of the gas inlet port must be straight.
INSTALLATION
required.
The method of connecting to the gas inlet and gas outlet ports is as follows:
1. Connect the gas source from the sample system to the Swagelok® fi tting
at the inlet port on the instrument using 1/8” stainless steel tubing.
Tighten the fi tting as much as possible by hand and tighten again with a
7/16” fl at wrench (approximately 1¼ turns).
2. Connect the gas outlet port in a similar manner to that described in
Step 1 using 1/8” stainless steel tubing.
If you undo the fi tting again and reconnect it, fi rst tighten up by
hand and then tighten using a 7/16” fl at wrench with no more
than a 1/8 turn.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
NOTE: Maximum sample pressure is 2 barg (29 psig).
NOTE: Sample is vented to atmosphere. Depending on the location of the
analyzer it may require a vent line to a safe location that is freely ventilated.

OPERATION
3 OPERATION
It is recommended that the user becomes familiar with Section 2 of this manual in which
all the equipment controls, indicators, the elements of the display and the overall menu
structure are described.
Prior to operation, the analyzer must have been connected to the correct electrical
power supply and the relevant analog and alarm outputs connected to external systems
as described in Section 2.
On delivery, the instrument will have been set-up with a standard set of default
parameters defi ning the operation of the analyzer. These parameters can be changed
as required by means of the
3.1 General Operational Information
Main Menu.
XZR400 Series User’s Manual
The input gas must be at a pressure of less than 2 barg (29 psig). A pressure regulator
is recommended when above 2 barg (29 psig) for better fl ow control. The outlet of the
system must be at atmospheric pressure.
NOTE: If the outlet is at higher pressure than atmospheric an optional process
pressure correction is necessary. Please consult Michell Instruments in this
case.
The instrument is designed to operate with a gas fl ow of 2 l/h ±1 l/h.
NOTE: For best results ensure that the sampling system is as close as possible
to the XZR400 Series Analyzer.
For all applications the sample gas is taken into the instrument via the gas inlet port
located on the bottom panel of the analyzer, from where it passes into an oven chamber.
The gas fl ow rate is then measured on the outlet side of the sample chamber, prior to
being exhausted from the instrument via the gas outlet port.
The fl ow, necessary for the sample gas circulation, is generated by the sensor oven
which utilizes the heat convection principle. The hot sample gas from the sensor oven is
pushed by the hot oven gases, which are still in the oven. On the way out of the oven
the sample gas cools, passing through the gas outlet port, and is carried away by the
main gas fl ow.
The XZR400 Series Analyzers are suitable for the measurement of oxygen in a wide
variety of clean and dry gases. It will not contaminate high purity gases and is safe for
use in critical semiconductor and fi bre optic manufacturing applications.
It is possible to continuously visualize the oxygen concentration in the range between
0.01 ppm and 25% oxygen. If required, the analyzer can display the MSRS voltage, the
oven temperature and the temperature of the cold junction in the thermocouple.

3.6.5 Total Pressure Correction (Optional)
This optional screen is used to adjust the low scale and the high scale of the external
pressure sensor, which is connected to D-Sub DA15 for all versions, except for the
XZR400A1 model, where the connection is carried out on the 8 pins connector. This
sensor compensates the total pressure in the MSRS cell.
When the gas pressure at the analyzer output is greater than the atmospheric pressure
sensor's upper limit (1,200 mbar), the total pressure adjustment is needed to guarantee
optimum operation of the analyzer.
The input signal from the external pressure sensor is a 4-20 mA analog signal representing
the output pressure of the analyzer. The signal enters the analyzer at terminals 11 and
12 of the D-Sub DA15 connector for all versions, except for the XZR400A1 model, where
the connection is carried out on pins 12 and 13 of the screw terminal.
Defective wiring/electrical supply of the total pressure sensor, or no connection of the
total pressure sensor’s 4-20 mA signal to the analyzer, generates a general fault alarm
and the display of a pressure fault message. This is not run if the sensor outputs a 0-5
V signal type.
OPERATION
In case of a pressure fault, the O
concentration will be displayed taking in account an
2
atmospheric pressure of 1000mbar. If the pressure of the measured gas is not within a
1000mbar ±20mbar bracket, the O2 concentration on the display will be off the relative
2% tolerance.

4.1 Defi nitions
• Adjustment gas: an adjustment gas used in order for the analyzer to
correct a possible difference between the measured value and the actual
O2 content in the gas. The value which is written on the cylinder (or on
the relevant analysis certifi cate) must be entered in the fi eld
gas section. The content can be in either % or ppm.
CALIBRATION
adjustment
• Control gas: a gas with a different O
It helps in verifying the calibration. The O2 content can be either in % or
ppm. This control is not compulsory.
• Process gas: the gas to be measured.
• Calibration duration: the period during which the adjustment gas
eliminates the process gas out of the internal sample path. The quality
of calibration will far be greater if the process gas is fully cleared away.
A longer period is necessary when the adjustment gas value is low and/
or when the difference between the process gas and the adjustment gas
is large. Calibration with % level oxygen gas requires approximately 5
minutes. Calibration with ppm level oxygen gas may require 30 minutes.
• Purging time: the period during which the process gas eliminates the
adjustment gas (or verifi cation gas) out of the internal sample path.
If a low O2 content (< 1000ppm) adjustment gas is used, a purge
time is necessary to allow the stabilization of the measurement
before starting the calibration sequence. This is even more
important if the process gas is going to be at a very different

Appendix D Extended Operating Range - (Optional)
This option should be requested at the time of order stating the maximum oxygen
percentage required - 0 to 30% or 0 to 50%.
The default range is 0 to 25%.
NOTE: If an extended range is supplied then this will result in a reduction in
resolution and accuracy below 1% O2.
WARNING: If an extended range is purchased ensure that the
analyzer has been cleaned for oxygen service before use.

Appendix E Process Pressure Correction - (Optional)
When the process gas pressure is out of the atmospheric pressure range, the process
pressure correction is required to guarantee the optimal effi ciency of the analyzer.
The input signal is a 4-20 mA analog signal from an external pressure transmitter
installed by the user at the outlet side of the process.
The following screen is used to confi gure the scale range:
Pressure correction

An input signal of 4 mA corresponds to the low scale set value.
A input signal of 20 mA corresponds to the high scale set value.
E.1 Process Pressure Correction Input Connections
The 4-20 mA pressure transmitter signals should be connected to the DB15 socket on
the rear panel of the analyzer.

Appendix H Optional moisture sensor
The XZR400 rack mount can be supplied with an Easidew moisture sensor fi tted in the
bypass leg to measure the moisture (dew point) of the sample. The sensor is capable of
measuring dew point from -100°C to +20°C dew point. If supplied with a moisture sensor,
dew point will be displayed underneath the oxygen concentration as shown below.
APPENDIX H
Figure 55
In the control parameters page, the dew point is displayed to the right of the O2 concentration
as shown in fi gure 56.

APPENDIX H
Even though the dew-point sensor located inside the analyzer, it is considered an external device by
the fi rmware. In the DP Sensor page, you can confi gure the intput range from the dew-point sensor
by pressing the Start and/or End of scale buttons and adjusting in the normal way. Only adjust these
settings if you have already altered the range of the Easidew transmitter.
