1 INTRODUCTION
XZR500 Series Oxygen Analyzers are designed to measure the oxygen content in
fl ue gases between 0.01% and 25% O
performance, increasing equipment service life and surveying emissions, thereby
contributing to protecting the environment.
XZR500 Oxygen Analyzers can be used for several applications such as monitoring
combustion in power plants, incineration of industrial or domestic waste, incineration of
VOC, control of processes, etc.
Please read this manual carefully before starting up the analyzer. It is recommended
that you go through this manual again after the fi rst use to enable optimal use of the
XZR500.
1.1 System Description
1.1.1 Measurement Principle
INTRODUCTION
. They allow for the improvement of a boiler’s

Michell Instruments’ aim is to provide the best measurement solutions for any
given industrial process or laboratory application. In the case of oxygen control and
measurement we have developed a highly advanced and miniaturized oxygen sensor,
the MSRS. This innovative sensor is at the heart of the XZR500 analyzer. A key strength
of the MSRS is that it has a built-in metal reference, this means it can operate for very
long periods without any requirement for re-calibration against a reference gas. As a
result the XZR500 has very low lifetime costs compared to other oxygen analyzers.
In addition to providing reliable and hassle free operation, the MSRS also delivers
excellent accuracy, class-leading linearity and, due to its small size, has a superior
response speed.
The operating principle of the MSRS is explained in detail as follows:
1.1.2 Zirconia
Zirconia is a solid electrolyte. At high temperatures
it conducts oxygen ions. An electrochemical voltage
develops between the two platinum-plated surfaces
of the zirconia in contact with two different gaseous
oxygen partial pressure (Pp) atmospheres. This voltage
follows the Nernst equation, expressed as:
E =
where R and F are constants
E = Nernst voltage (V)
T = temperature (°K)
Pp = oxygen partial pressures

INTRODUCTION
By setting the oxygen reference pressure and measuring voltage E and temperature T,
you can deduce the oxygen partial pressure you want to measure.
XZR500 User’s Manual
The volumetric concentration (expressed here in O
between the oxygen partial pressure (Ppmeas) and the atmospheric pressure (Ptot).
There is an optional ambient pressure sensor available for higher accuracy measurements.
1.1.3 The MSRS
Unlike conventional “air reference” zirconia sensors the MSRS uses the equilibrium
status of an internal metal oxide to provide a reference. Therefore, this built-in metallic
reference sensor does not require any reference gas.
Figure 2

O2 %vol. =

Ptot.
The MSRS and its K Thermocouple
The MSRS is a very small cylinder, 3mm in diameter and 10mm long. A K thermocouple,
placed closed to the MSRS, measures its temperature with great precision. This design
leads to extremely high accuracy and very good resistance to thermal shocks. It also
increases the lifetime of the sensor.
1.1.4 XZR500 MSRS Assembly
The MSRS and its K thermocouple are placed inside an aluminum tube. The MSRS head
is attached to an assembly plate to allow for easier fi eld servicing, see

1.2 General Remarks
The analyzer is made up of a measurement probe and a Control Unit.
1.2.1 Sensor Head and Probe
The semi in-situ arrangement consists of the following elements:
• Probe, comprising of an inner and outer tube to allow fl ow of sample from fl ue to sensor.
The sample gas is returned to the fl ue practically unchanged in composition and
condition. This is due to the very small amount of sample required to diffuse into the
sensor furnace.
INTRODUCTION
The gas fl ow is shown by the arrows in
Figure 4
below. In this example, the stack is
vertical and the fl ue gas fl ow direction is upwards.
Using the Pitot tube effect, gases enter through the hole near the tip of the outer tube
and circulate in the space between the outer tube (25, 2) and the inner tube (23).
During this process the gases contact the sensor through diffusion. They then fl ow into
the inner tube and to the fl ue via the bevelled edge.
The tubes are fi tted so that the bevelled edge of the inner tube and the holes of the
outer tube face in opposite directions.

INTRODUCTION
The XZR500 MSRS (5) assembly is placed perpendicular to the tubing system. The
XZR500 furnace (4) and the XZR500 MSRS (5) are placed inside a cast aluminum
enclosure which is made of two parts sealed with a 5mm diameter viton O-ring. It is
dust proof and waterproof and can be mounted outdoors. The cable gland (17) is made
of brass.
The whole set is mounted on the stack with a steel fl ange which is welded on the
XZR500 outer tube. Michell Instruments can provide an optional mounting kit containing
a counter fl ange with threaded rods (if needed please refer to Appendix G).
All the gaskets (6, 7, 8 and 9) placed on the tubes are made of carbon fi ber.
A high temperature “gasket box” type device guarantees that the sealing head is airtight.
For dimensions of the measuring probe see Appendix D.
1.2.2 Control Unit
The Control Unit provides the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for the XZR500 analyzer.
It is housed in a metal case with a screen and three touch buttons to allow access to
menus. Inside there is a motherboard, a micro-controller and a display PCB. The output
signals and alarms are all accessed through the Control Unit.
XZR500 User’s Manual
Oxygen concentration is displayed on the screen as default and has one decimal
point as standard (a second decimal place can be requested as an option). Other
parameters available through the HMI are Furnace Temperature, Thermocouple Junction
Temperature, MSRS Voltage and Ambient Pressure (in mbars), if the optional pressure
sensor is ordered.
Confi guration of alarms and output signals as well as calibration functions are all carried
out through the HMI of the Control Unit.

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 General Mounting Precautions
• Place the probe as close as possible to the process (without breaching
the fl ame front).
• Prevent ambient air from entering the stack upstream or at the probe
tapping point and interfering with the measurement. Make sure all the
gaskets are placed and tightened
for calibration gas inlet (
NOTE: The stainless steel plug - or any 1/8” sealing ferrule -
should be tightened up by hand and then tightened again using a
7/16” spanner, turning only 1/8th of a turn so as not to damage
the connection.
• Avoid placing the probe near cleaning devices or elements that create
vibrations and are liable to disturb the measurement.
• Voltage should be applied to the analyzer immediately after the instrument
is fi xed on the stack so that the furnace can start heating. This will avoid
condensation at cold points where dirt could aggregate and clog up the
probe tubes. For the same reason, we recommend leaving the analyzer
powered up 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Figure 4
(Figure 4)
(15)).
INSTALLATION
, and tighten-up the SS plug
• The part of the tubing situated between the stack and the probe head
should be very well insulated - or even heated. If necessary, Michell
Instruments can manufacture a complete insulating cover for the outside
part of the probe (optional).
NOTE:
Ceramic probes require special handling.
Please read the following note carefully.
Ceramic Probes:
Special care must be taken when handling ceramic probes due to their fragile
nature. Inspect the probes thoroughly before inserting into stack. If they
have been damaged in transit, contact your Michell offi ce or distributor
immediately and inform them of the situation. Take photographic evidence
of the damage to the probe, and of the packaging, on the day of delivery.
On insertion ensure that the probe does not impact with the side of the orifi ce.
Once installed, it is not recommended to remove the probe. If removal is
unavoidable due to maintenance, then allow the probe several hours to fully
cool to ambient temperature and extract slowly.
Consideration for placement of the probe is essential. Avoid the fl ame front,
violently turbulent sections of the duct/fl ue, proximity to dampers, or where
falling refractory could strike the probe. Excessive vibrations must be avoided
as ceramic is a brittle material.
Incorrect handling or placement of the probe will invalidate the warranty.

The XZR500 is simple to set-up. Follow the instructions below:
1. Weld the tubular counter-fl ange (a) onto the stack. Follow the orientation
shown below to ensure that the probe head is set in a vertical position.
Slope the tubular counter-fl ange (a) slightly (maximum 5 degrees) so that
condensed water can go back to the process. The probe is fi tted with a PN6
DN15 type fl ange (4 x 11mm diameter holes, placed on a 55mm diameter
circle). Pay special attention to the orientation and slope especially if the
counter fl ange/nozzle with fl ange is provided by the customer.
