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 : +1 855 724 2628
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)

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.
