1.2System overview
1.2.1Scope
This Instruction Manual supplies details needed to install, start up, operate, and maintain
the OCX 8800. Signal conditioning electronics output a digital signal representing oxygen
(O2) and combustibles (COe) values. This information, plus additional details, can be
accessed with the 375 Field communicator or Emerson AMS software..
1.2.2System description
The OCX 8800 is designed to measure oxygen and combustible concentrations in flue gas
temperatures up to 1427 °C (2600 °F). Electrical connections, power, and communications
are made through two 3/4 NPT ports in the flameproof electronics enclosure using fittings
and cables provided by you. Cable installation must meet NEC, IEC, and/or other applicable
national or local codes for Class I, Zone 1, Group IIB +H2 T3/T6 permanently mounted
equipment. The transmitter is close coupled to the process and requires minimum sample
conditioning requirements.
Description and specifications
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 operating at the proper
temperature, the following Nernst equation gives the millivolt output of the cell.
EMF = KT log10 (P1/P2) + C
where:
1.P2 is the partial pressure of the oxygen in the measured gas on one side of the cell.
2.P1 is the partial pressure of the oxygen in the reference air on the 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 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 lograrithm of
the oxygen concentration. Therefore, the output signal increases as the oxygen
concentration of the sample decreases. This characteristic enables the transmitter to
provide exceptional sensitivity at low oxygen concentrations.
Reference Manual 3
Description and specifications
The transmitter 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 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 temperature difference produces a
resistance relationship between the two elements that is directly proportional to the
concentration of combustibles in the sample gases.
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, as 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.
1.2.3
Dilution air is provided by the COe sensors to ensure that there is adequate oxygen to fully
oxidize any combustible gases regardless of the concentration of oxygen in the process.
System configurations
Transmitters are available in four lengths, giving you 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. When the
transmitter is configured with the integral electronics option, the electronics and sensor
housings are mounted as a unit at the stack mounting flange. When the transmitter is
configured with the remote electronics option, the electronics are contained in a separate
housing from the sensors. The electronics housing may be mounted up to 150 feet from
the sensor housing.
The electronics control both sensor temperatures and provide output signals in one of two
ways:
1.Individual 4-20 mA isolated outputs that are proporational to the measured oxygen
and combustibles concentrations. The oxygen output also contains HART
communication.
2.Single Foundation Feldbus output.
The power supply can accept voltages of 100 to 240 Vac and 50 to 60 Hz. The electronics
accepts millivolt signals generated by the snesors and produces the outputs to be used by
remotely connected devices. Refer to Chapter 3 for specific instructions upon intial power
up.
4 OCX 8800
1.2.4System features
1.The O2 cell output voltage and sensitivity increase as the oxygen concentration
decreases.
2.HART or Foundation Fieldbus communication is standard. To use this capability, you
must have either:
a. Model 375 Field Communicator
b. Asset Management Solutions (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.You can calibrate and diagnostically troubleshoot the transmitter in one of two
ways:
a. LOI: The LOI is mounted to the end of the electronics module and allows local
communications with the electronics. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information.
b. HART or Foundation Fieldbus interface: The transmitter's output line transmits a
digital signal with the detected oxygen or combustible levels encoded in a digital
format. This information can be accessed through the following:
• Model 375 Field Communicator - The handheld field communicator requires
Device Description (DD) software specific to the OCX 8800. The DD software
is supplied with many Model 375 units, but can also be programmed into
existing units at most Emerson service offices. Refer to Chapter 6Section for
additional information.
• Personal computer (PC) - The use of a personal computer requires AMS
software available from Emerson.
• Selected distributed control systems - The use of distributed control systems
requires input/output (I/O) hardware and AMS software which permit HART
communications.
6.When the transmitter is configured without the LOI, you must calibrate and
diagnostically troubleshoot the transmitter using the HART of Foundation Fieldbus
interface.
7.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
mount 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 O2 sensor and
continues on the COe sensor. Dilution air is provided to the COe sensor and reference air to
the O2 sensor. After the gas sample flows past the O2 sensor and through 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
communication boards which convert the sensor inputs into digital output signals. The
Description and specifications
CPU can also initiate and perform calibrations. Three test gases 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 the cold sensors causing condensation.

1.2.6Handling the OCX 8800
CAUTION!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Only handle printed circuit boards and integrated circuits when adequate anti-static
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.
1.2.7
System considerations
Prior to installing your OCX 8800, make sure you have all the components necessary to
make the system installation. Ensure that all components are properly integrated to make
the system functional.
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 1-4
shows a typical system wiring for a system with integral electronics. Figure 1-5 shows

simplified installations for the OCX 8800.Figure 1-5 shows the dimensions for the optional
sample tube support. Figure 1-6 shows the dimensions for the optional in-situ filters.
Figure 1-7 shows the optional panel mounted blowback.
A source of instrument air is required at the OCX 8800 for reference air, dilution air, and
eductor air. As the OCX 8800 is equipped with an in-place calibration feature, make
provisions for connecting test gas tanks to the OCX 8800 when it is to be calibrated.
Note
The electronics module is designed to meet Type 4X and IP66, and the electronic components are
rated to temperatures up to 85 °C (185 °F ).

2.2Mechanical installation
2.2.1Selecting a location
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, as 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. Select the sensing point so
that the process gas temperature falls within the range of the probe material used.
Figure 2-1 through #unique_73/fig_ght_spm_gz provide mechanical installation references.
The ambient temperature inside the electronics housing must not exceed 85 °C (185 °F) .
Procedure
1.Check the flue or stack for holes and air leakage. The presence of this condition
substantially affects the accuracy of the oxygen and combustibles readings.
Therefore, either make the necessary repairs or install the transmitter upstream of
any leakage.
2.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.
