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.

Configuration and startup
3.1.1Verify configuration - HART electronics
There are three switches on the microprocessor board which are user configurable for the
Rosemount OCX 8800 with HART electronics (Figure 3-1). SW1 determines if the O2 4-20
mA signal is internally or externally powered. SW2 determines if the COe 4-20 mA signal is
internally or externally powered. SW3 sets the rail limits for the O2 and COe 4-20 mA
signals and configures the sample line heater control circuit. All switches are accessible
through holes in the electronics box.
CAUTION!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Remove power from the transmitter before changing defaults. If defaults are changed under
power, damage to the electronics may occur.
Verify that the following switch settings are correct for your installation.
SW1: The two settings are internally or externally powering the O2 4-20 mA signal. The
factory setting is for the O2 4-20 mA signal to be internally powered.
SW2: The two settings are internally or externally powering the COe 4-20 mA signal. The
factory setting is for the COe 4-20 mA signal to be internally powered.
SW3: The factory sets this switch as follows:
44 OCX 8800
•Position 1 determines the O2 4-20 mA signal rail limit. The settings are high,
21.1 mA, or low, 3.5 mA. The factory setting is low, 3.5 mA.
•Position 2 determines the COe 4-20 mA signal rail limit. The settings are high,
21.1 mA, or low, 3.5 mA. The factory setting is high, 21.1 mA.

3.7Calibration tolerance feature
The calibration tolerance feature provides a mechanism to fail a calibration if the
calibration measurement does not fall within a specific tolerance of the test gas value. The
tolerance is preset within the transmitter software and is not user-adjustable. The
tolerance is different between the oxygen and combustibles test gases. for oxygen, the
calibration fails if the measured value differs by more than ±10% of the configured value.
For combustibles, the calibration fails if the measured value differs by more than ±30% of
the configured value.
A transmitter shipped from the factory must be configured before the calibration
tolerance feature can be implemented. The same process must be performed any time a
replacement card stack is installed.

3.8COe purge / zero feature
This feature provides a way to periodically flood the COe sensor with air to perform two
functions:
1.Provide additional oxygen to burn off any combustible residue from the COe sensor
2.Allow for optional adjustment of the COe calibration constant.
If the transmitter is configured to update the COe calibration constant, only the constant is
updated. The COe calibration slope is not affected. To update both the constant and slope,
a full calibration must take place.
The feature uses the calibration solenoid that is used for high O2 test gas and COe zero gas.
For the feature to work properly, instrument air is used as the high O2 test gas. This also
requires the high O2 test gas value to be set at 20.95%.
As an option, a two way valve may be installed to switch the high O2 test gas between the
normal calibration gas and instrument air. This allows the transmitter to use a specified
calibration gas for calibration, then instrument air for the COe zero feature. Switching
between the two gases must be manually coordinated between scheduled calibrations
and COe zero events.
When the COe zero feature is used, special pneumatic connections are required. See
Section for details.
The COe feature is only valid if the transmitter is supplied with calibration solenoids and
the solenoids have been activated.
A transmitter shipped from the factory must be configured before the COe zero feature
can be implemented. This same process must be performed any time a replacement card
stack is installed.
Reference Manual 53

4Using the LOI
This chapter describes the installation and operation of the LOI module in the OCX 8800.
4.1Display orientation
The LOI module mounts to a connector on the LOI board.
The board is installed on the end of the electronics stack in the electronics housing,
Figure 4-1. There are four mating connectors on the back of the LOI module that allow the
The LOI, shown in Figure 4-2, uses a bright blue gas-fluorescent display. Intensity is
adjustable. There is an infrared LED source and a detector for each key. The detectors can
detect a finger placed above the button through the glass window. There is no need to
open the instrument in bad weather or in hazardous areas in order to access the
electronics.
The transmitter also uses HART or Foundation Fieldbus communications, permitting
access to all instrument functionality anywhere the digital O2 signal terminates via a Model
375 Field Communicator.
The gray (top left) key moves one level higher in the menu structure. When entering
parameter values (numbers), this key moves the cursor to the left. The left-pointing key
also doubles as an Enter key, used after the digits of a parameter value are entered and the
cursor is moved to its leftmost position. When Enter is touched, the new parameter value,
if accepted, appears in the top line of the display.
The blue (bottom left) key acts as a selector when choosing from among several menu
items. This right-pointing key also moves the cursor to the right when entering the digits
of a new parameter value.
Using the LOI
The up and down pointing keys are used to increment up and down when selecting from a
vertical list of menu items. These keys are also used for incrementing values up and down
for new data input.
4.2.3Lockout
The LOI has a lockout feature that prevents nuisance actuation by someone brushing
against the glass window, raindrops, dirt, insects, etc. This lockout mode is automatically
established when no buttons are pushed for 30 seconds (default). This countdown to
lockout is configurable.
In order to unlock the display, input a Z pattern (Figure 4-3). First, touch the top left (gray)
Enter key. Next touch the top right key, followed by the bottom left key and the bottom
right key. The LK notation in the upper right corner of the display disappears. Touch Enter
once more to enter into the menu structure. Whenever a key is touched, additional time to
lockout is provided, so that the lockout feature does not become a nuisance. This
additional revert time is one hour (default) and is also user-configurable.
Note
Always clean dust and soil away from the LOI screen each time the LOI is used. Excessive dust can
prevent the LOI from entering lockout. This condition can cause uncommanded operations to occur.

5.1Overview
During calibration, two calibration gases with known O2 concentrations and one
calibration gas with a known COe concentration are applied to the transmitter. Slope and
constant values are calculated to determine if the transmitter is correctly measuring net
concentration of O2 and combustibles in the industrial process.
Before calibrating the transmitter, verify that the calibration gas parameters are correct by
setting the test gas values used when calibrating the unit. Refer to Chapter 3.
There are three calibration methods available to the transmitter: automatic, operatorinitiated, and manual. Calibration commands and menus can be accessed by 375 Field
Communicator or by the optional LOI.

6.1Overview
The 375 Field Communicator is a communication interface device. It supports HART and
Fieldbus devices, letting you configure and troubleshoot in the field.
The 375 Field Communicator includes an LCD with touch-screen display and keypad. Use
the touch-screen or keypad to enter data into the 375 Field Communicator.
Three terminals for the lead are on the top of the 375 Field Communicator. The lead set
and terminals let you connect the 375 Field Communicator to a device. An access door
ensures only one pair of terminals can be used at any time. Several markings indicate
which pair of terminals is for which protocol. F indicates the Fieldbus protocol, while H
indicates the HART protocol.
The infrared port (IrDA) lets the 375 Field Communicator interface with the PC. IrDA is a PC
interface supported for transfer of device descriptions (DD), software updates,
configurations, and application licenses. IrDA communications can either be built into the
PC or provided through a USB to IrDA adapter. The PC application can either be AMS Suite
or 375 Easy Upgrade Programming Utility. The 375 must be in the Listen for PC mode when
communicating through IrDA.
