Overview

The Rosemount 6888Xi is specifically designed to control a zirconium oxide probe for measuring
oxygen, usually the O2 remaining from a combustion process. Call the Rosemount Customer
Support Center (CSC) to get recommendations for other oxygen probes.

Phone : [phone]

The 6888Xi electronics has several main functions:

1. Heater Control - The electronics receives a type K thermocouple input from an O2 probe and
switches power on and off to the probe's heater in order to maintain a temperature setpoint
of 736 °C.

2. Signal Conditioning - The electronics receives the raw millivolt signal from the O2 sensing
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 O2 signal. 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 Rosemount 6888Xi Advanced Electronics has been verified to operate the following probes:

• Westinghouse 218 and World Class (115 V heater only)

• Rosemount Oxymitter and 6888

• Yokogawa

The Rosemount 6888Xi Advanced Electronics will not operate the following probes:

• World Class (44 V Heater)

• XSTREAM O2 Probe (Transmitter, Integral Electronics)

Technical Support Hotline

Optional 6888Xi Advanced Electronics

Traditional Architecture, HART and 6888Xi Communications

Some customers prefer not to mount electronics onto the probe, so a "traditional architecture"
version is offered. This probe sends raw millivolt signals via a 7-conductor cable to the 6888Xi
electronics, Figure 1-3, which does all heater control and signal conditioning in addition to its
display/keypad functions. The 6888Xi Advanced Electronics is offered to support direct replace­ment probes with 120 volt heaters.

1.2.3 Automatic Calibration

Calibrations consist of introducing bottled gases of known value into the probe so the
electronics can make automatic adjustments to the O2readings to match the bottled gas value.

0.4% O2and 8% O2(balance nitrogen) gases are recommended. Never use nitrogen as a
calibration gas.

Flowmeters (for calibration gases) and regulators and flowmeters (for reference air) are available
as loose components, mounted into an optional manual calibration switching panel, or as a fully
automatic calibration system, Figure 1-4, where calibration solenoids are switched from the
6888Xi Advanced Electronics. See IM-106-340AC, SPS 4001B Single Probe Autocalibration
Sequencer or IM-106-400IMPS, IMPS 4000 Intelligent Multiprobe Test Gas Sequencer, for
additional details.

1.2.4 Communication Options

Data Communications

An operator can configure and troubleshoot the O2 Probe system in one of two ways:

1. Using the 6888Xi Advanced Electronics keypad and display to access the following optional

advanced features:

• Probe configuration

• Fully automatic calibration

• Failure diagnostics

• Flame safety interface

• High temperature operation [above 700 °C (1292 °F) standard temperature].

• Stoichiometer feature provides the ability to indicate O2 efficiency when the combustion
process goes into reducing conditions (0% O2).

• Programmable reference provides enhanced accuracy when measuring at or near O2
level (20.95% O2).

• Plugged diffusor diagnostics

2. Using the HART Interface. The 6888Xi’s 4-20 mA output line transmits an analog signal pro­portional to the oxygen level. The HART output is superimposed on the 4-20 mA output
line. This information can be accessed through the following:

• Rosemount Model 375/475 Field Communicator - The handheld communicator requires

Device Description (DD) software specific to the 6888Xi. The DD software will be sup­plied with many Model 375/475 units but can also be programmed into existing units at
most Emerson service offices. See Section 4, Startup and Operation, for additional infor­mation.

• Personal Computer (PC) - The use of a personal computer requires AMS software available

from Emerson.

• Delta V and Ovation Distributed Control System (DCS) with AMS-inside capability.

NOTE

The 375 Field Communicator must be upgraded to System Software 2.0 with Graphic License for opera­tion with the 6888Xi. The AMS software must be upgraded to AMS 8.0 or above.

2.3 Electrical Installation

Rosemount 6888Xi Advanced Electronics

All wiring must conform to local and national codes. Multiple wiring diagrams are shown in this
section. Always refer to the diagrams that apply to your transmitter configuration and disregard
all other wiring diagrams.

WARNING

Disconnect and lock out power before connecting the power supply.

WARNING

Install all protective covers and safety ground leads after installation. Failure to install covers and ground
leads could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

To meet the Safety Requirements of IEC 61010 (EC requirement), and ensure safe operation of this equip­ment, connection to the main electrical power supply must be made through a circuit breaker (min 10A)
which will disconnect all current-carrying conductors during a fault situation. This circuit breaker should
also include a mechanically operated isolating switch. If not, then another external means of disconnecting
the supply from the equipment should be located close by. Circuit breakers or switches must comply with a
recognized standard such as IEC 947.

NOTE

Line voltage, signal, and relay wiring must be rated for at least 105 °C (221 °F).

NOTE

If metal conduit is used with the 6888Xi the conduit should be reliably bonded to protective
earth. The grounding plate inside the 6888Xi is not bonded to PE and does not provide adequate
grounding.

1. Remove cover screws from the front cover of the 6888Xi. Swing down the front cover of the

interface box.

2. Pull out the I/O board on the right-hand side of the card rack inside the 6888Xi. If your sys-

tem is configured to operate two transmitter probes there are two I/O interface boards.

3. See Figures 2-5, 2-6 and 2-7. Connect the 4-20 mA signal wires at J4 of the I/O board. Attach

the supplied ferrite clamp over the 4-20 mA OUT wires that extend past the shield.

NOTE

Installation of the ferrite clamp over the 4-20 mA OUT wires is required for compliance with the
European EMC Directive.

4. Terminate the shield of the 4-20 mA signal wires at the designated ground terminal of the

6888Xi. Do not allow bare shield wires to contact the circuit boards. Insulate the shield wires
prior to termination.

5. Connect the signal wires from the SPS or IMPS (if used) to the applicable terminals of J3.

Refer to the SPS or IMPS instruction manual for wiring details.

6. Connect the customer’s alarm indicator devices to the alarm indicator relay terminals.

7. Reinstall the I/O board in the card rack of the 6888Xi.

8. If your system is configured for two channel operation, repeat steps 2 through 7 to connect
the other signal wires.

9. Remove the connector from the power supply board located on the left-hand side of the
card rack inside the 6888Xi.

10. Connect the line, or L1 wire to the L1 terminal and the neutral, or L2 wire, to the N terminal.

11. Reinstall the power supply connector in the power supply board.

Flame Safety Interlock

A flame safety interlock by Emerson is available for heater power disconnect whenever there is a
loss of the process flame or a heater runaway condition (heater over-temperature) in the O

2

Probe. This input is internally powered by the 6888Xi and is actuated via a dry contact output
from the user’s flame scanner. A closed contact indicates a flame is present. An open contact
indicates a loss of flame.

1. Connect the signal wires from the burner management system flame status output to the
flame status input terminals of J2. The flame status sensing device is supplied by the cus­tomer. Refer to the applicable OEM documents for signal wiring details.

2. Remove the J1 and J2 connectors from the AC relay board.

3. Connect the AC line input to the J1 connector.

4. Connect the AC power to the 6888A probe to the J2 connector.

5. Reinstall connector J1 and J2 to the AC relay board.

Traditional Architecture Cable Connections

A traditional architecture configuration is used to provide for remote location of the transmitter
electronics. All electronics are housed inside the 6888Xi. A multi-conductor power/signal cable
connects between the probe and the 6888Xi. Use the following procedure to connect the tradi­tional architecture probe to the 6888Xi.

NOTE

The Traditional Architecture cable is provided at the specified length and is ready for installa­tion. The cable glands must be properly terminated to maintain EMC/EMI noise protection.

FIGURE 2-4. Traditional Architecture Cable Gland Assembly

Run the 7-conductor cable between the traditional architecture probe and the installation site for 6888Xi. Use1
new cable conduit or trough as needed.
Install the cable and lead wires to the probe per manufacturer’s instructions.2
Install the cable at the probe housing and at the 6888Xi enclosure according to the following procedure:3
a. Unscrew locking nut from gland assembly, Figure 2-4, and slide locking nut back along cable.
b. Pull the gland body away from the plastic insert. Use care not to damage the cable shield braid.
c. Insert the cable wires into the proper entry port in either the probe housing or the 6888Xi enclosure.
d. At the probe housing, apply Teflon tape or similar sealing compound to the tapered pipe threads.

Thread the gland body into the probe housing until properly seated.

e. At the 6888Xi enclosure, insert the gland body into the left front cable port from the inside of the enclo-

sure. Use the rubber O-ring provided to seal the cable port.

. Ensure the cable shield braid is evenly formed over the gray insert. When properly formed, the braid

f

should be evenly spaced around the circumference of the insert and not extend beyond the narrow
diameter portion.

g. Carefully press the gray insert into the gland body. The grooves on the insert should align with similar

grooves inside the gland body. Press the insert in until it bottoms out in the gland body.

h. Slide the locking nut up and thread it onto the gland body. Tighten the locking nut so the rubber grom-

met inside the plastic insert compresses against the cable wall to provide an environmental seal.

At the 6888Xi, connect the cable leads to the connectors on the transmitter I/O board as indicated in Figure 2-7.4
