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 sen-
sor 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 techni-
cian 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)

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 replace-
ment 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 O2 readings to match the bottled gas value.
0.4% O2 and 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 pro-
portional 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 sup-
plied 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 infor-
mation.
• 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 opera-
tion with the 6888Xi. The AMS software must be upgraded to AMS 8.0 or above.
Contact Emerson’s Global Service Center (GSC) at 1-800-833-8314 to upgrade the 375 Field
Communicator software to System Software 2.0 with Graphic License.

00809-0100-4892 January 2019
3. The 6888Xi can also transmit HART informa-

tion wirelessly via a wireless THUM Adapter, FIGURE 1-5. Wireless THUM Adapter with
6888Xi
Figure 1-5. The THUM Adapter threads into the
6888Xi conduit port and converts the 4-20 mA
O2 signal to a wireless protocol. All other HART
information is also transmitted.
In addition to the wireless THUM Adapter, a

hard-wire connection of the 4-20 mA signal to
the DCS may be used at the same time. More
detailed information regarding the application
of the THUM Adapter is available in Product
Data Sheet 00813-0100-4075.
4. The 6888Xi can be configured to communicate with a 6888A FOUNDATION Fieldbus probe.
Refer to section 3.2.1 Configuration to set up for FOUNDATION Fieldbus communications.
Optional OxyBalance Display and Averaging System

Receives up to eight 4-20 mA signals from individual 6888Xi units. Trends individual outputs and
calculates four programmable averages as additional 4-20 mA outputs. OxyBalance graphic dis-
plays are shown in Figure 1-5. See IM-106-4050, OxyBalance Oxygen Display and Averaging
System, for additional details.

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 O2
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 cus-
tomer. 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 tradi-
tional architecture probe to the 6888Xi.
NOTE
The Traditional Architecture cable is provided at the specified length and is ready for installa-
tion. The cable glands must be properly terminated to maintain EMC/EMI noise protection.
FIGURE 2-4. Traditional Architecture Cable Gland Assembly
1 Run the 7-conductor cable between the traditional architecture probe and the installation site for 6888Xi. Use
new cable conduit or trough as needed.
2 Install the cable and lead wires to the probe per manufacturer’s instructions.
3 Install the cable at the probe housing and at the 6888Xi enclosure according to the following procedure:
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.
16 Installation
00809-0100-4892 January 2019
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.
f. Ensure the cable shield braid is evenly formed over the gray insert. When properly formed, the braid
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.
4 At the 6888Xi, connect the cable leads to the connectors on the transmitter I/O board as indicated in Figure 2-7.

Password protection can be enabled by selecting: System Main Menu > Configure UIB > Security
> Enable Password (see the 6888Xi Menu, Figure 3-3).
The factory default upon enabling the password protection is 0000, but the password can con-
sist of any 4 numeric characters.
If the user forgets the password, call Rosemount Customer Support Center at
+1 855 724 2628 to gain access to a master password.
A "Lock" icon will be displayed at the top right corner of the main display when password protec-
tion is in effect.
The password protection will relock itself after a certain number of seconds with no button
pushes (defined as "revert time" in the same "LCD setup" menu).
The 6888Xi has a "Reset" function that reestablishes all factory default conditions, including the
password protection feature, i.e. the password protection will fall back to a disabled condition
after a reset.
3.3 Optional Advanced Features

Advanced features are typically ordered factory programmed. However, these advanced fea-
tures are also available for field retrofit.
A 6888Xi is shipped from the factory with the optional enhanced software features enabled
based on the model configuration.
3.3.1 Extended Temperature

The Oxygen Analyzer employs a heater and thermocouple to maintain a temperature normal
set point at 736 °C (1357 °F). Temperature control is maintained within ±1 °C to process tem-
WARNING
The I/O Board is shipped from the factory without any of the enhanced software features activated. These
features must be activated once the new board has been installed and before the Remote Interface is put
into service.
WARNING
If the existing I/O Board has been operated with the Stoichiometric enhanced software feature, this feature
must be activated in the new board before the Remote Interface is put back into service. Failure to do so
will cause a false analog output signal to the DCS.

00809-0100-4892 January 2019
NOTE
For enhanced software feature option upgrades or to enable the feature to duplicate the existing configu-
ration, contact Emerson at 1-800-433-6076. Reference the following:
6A00269G01 Enhanced Software Option Upgrade, Stoichiometric Function
6A00269G02 Enhanced Software Option Upgrade, Programmable Reference Function
6A00269G03 Enhanced Software Option Upgrade, Extended Temperature Function
6A00269G04 Enhanced Software Option Upgrade, Diffuser Warning Function
peratures of about 705 °C (1300 °F). This is satisfactory for most applications, but excursions to
higher temperatures can occur in some processes.
The extended temperature function allows the heater to be turned off and the process temper-
ature used to heat the sensing cell. The function also provided for configuring the heater to
operate at either 736 °C (1357 °F) or 550 °C (1022 °F). A lower temperature may be desirable
by turning off the heater at a lower temperature to reduce the instance of an ignition source in
the process. Furthermore, the user has the ability to choose whether or not the heater will turn
back on if the process temperature falls below the set point. Again, this reduces the instance of
an ignition source in the process if a flameout condition should occur.
When the extended temperature function is disabled the heater normal set point is at 736 °C.
An alarm will occur if the heater falls below 726 °C or rises above 750 °C. Either of these alarms
will also force the analog output signal to a critical alarm level of either 3.5 mA or 21.5 mA as
configured. When the extended temperature function is enabled, an alarm will occur if the
heater falls 10 °C below the set point of either 550 °C or 736 °C and will force the analog output
signal level to either 3.5 mA or 21.5 mA. With either set point, the high temperature alarm
defaults to 750 °C but can be configured to any temperature between 750 °C and 850 °C.
However, a heater temperature above this level will cause an alarm but will not force the analog
output signal level to either 3.5 mA or 21.5 mA.
When the heater turns off, the oxygen reading is adjusted continuously to compensate for the
varying process temperatures. It should be noted that cell life will be reduced by continuous
operation at temperatures above 736 °C (1357 °F). If process temperatures are expected to be
continuously above 705 °C, the use of an optional bypass or probe mounting jacket accessory is
recommended.
3.3.2 Stoichiometer
Process upsets can sometimes cause a combustion process to go into sub-stoichiometric or
reducing conditions. The oxygen readings from one or more probes may decline all the way to
zero. The stoichiometer cell will measure the amount of oxygen deficiency during these reduc-
ing conditions. The trends in your DCS can be set up for a lower range limit of -1 or -2% oxygen
to depict the level of oxygen deficiency.
The operator can see if his control recovery actions are having the desired effect. These types of
events do not occur frequently, but knowing the parameters of the situation prevents over-
correcting while coming out of the reducing condition.The stoichiometer feature requires

Make sure the DCS is configured for the same range as the 6888Xi. For instance: -1 O2 to 10 O2.
purchasing the acid resistant stoichiometer cell and the stoichiometer feature inside the
6888Xi.
3.3.3 Programmable Reference

The zirconium oxide sensing technology has historically measured process oxygen by using
ambient or instrument air as a reference (20.95% oxygen). The sensor develops most of its sig-
nal at the low oxygen levels typically found in combustion flue gasses (2-4% oxygen), and is
most accurate at these levels. When measuring near 20.95% O2, the sensor develops only a few
millivolts of signal, and accuracy degrades.
The programmable reference feature permits the user to use a bottled reference gas of low oxy-
gen value (0.4% oxygen recommended). When measuring at or near 21% oxygen, a strong neg-
ative oxygen signal results, with much improved accuracy. A bottle of reference gas typically
lasts about a month at the low flows required. Typical applications would be:
Flue gas recirculation - controlling the mixing of flue gasses into the burner windbox prior ahead
of the burner to reduce NOx emissions.
Moisture monitoring - measuring the amount of moisture coming off of industrial dryers by not-
ing the dilution effect water vapor has on the normal 20.95% ambient drying air. (Non-combus-
tion drying processes only.)
Enriched oxygen concentration - pure oxygen is sometimes mixed in with the combustion air to
increase heat at the flame. This is used in steel and other metals reduction processes and in
some catalyst regenerators.
3.3.4 Plugged Diffusion Element Diagnostic

In situ analyzers do very well in high particulate flue gases resulting from processes as such coal
or biofuel boilers, or lime and cement kilns because the passive filter, or "diffusion element" does
not foul or plug off easily. Since the probe sensing cell is inserted entirely into the flue gas stream,
the process gasses can diffuse (migrate) into the cell area with minimal fouling of the filter
media. After many months or years of operation, however, the diffusion element may plug off.
The operator at the DCS console may notice that the O2 measurement is not as active as previ-
ously or that the speed of response back to the process (purge time) after calibration gases are
removed has increased considerably. A new diffusion element will start to come back to the
process value in 3-5 seconds (Tinitial), and will be all the way back to the process reading in 30-40
seconds (Tfinal). As the diffuser plugs off over many months, these times will get longer and
longer.
Another indication of a plugged diffuser is a large increase of the "cell constant" after a
calibration. A slower speed of response not only delays O2 information for the operator or the
automatic O2 trim control loop, it can also cause technicians to induce a calibration error while
doing calibrations. Published specifications call for a 5 SCFH flow of calibration gases with a new
diffuser. This slightly pressurizes the cell area with cal gas, ensuring that no flue gases mix in
with the calibration test gasses. As the diffuser plugs off over time, the calibration flow rate will
drop and the cell area becomes increasingly more pressurized. Pressurizing the sensing cell
00809-0100-4892 January 2019
during the calibration procedure will induce an error in the O2 reading once the calibration
gases are removed and pressures return to the normal operating duct pressures. The O2 reading
will be shifted lower by 1.5% of reading (not 1.5% O2, or 1.5% of full scale) for every 7 inches of
water column pressure induced during the calibration.
The calibration induced error will be further increased if the calibration gas flow rate is adjusted
to compensate for the reduced flow caused by the plugging diffuser. For example, an instru-
ment technician may do a calibration on a probe with a badly plugged diffuser. He notices when
he opens the bottle and sets his pressure regulator to 20 PSI that the flow meter is reading 2
SCFH instead of the normal 5 SCFH. He tries to readjust the flow rate on the flowmeter, but still
cannot get the specified 5 SCFH, so he adjusts the pressure of the pressure regulator upward
until he can get the 5 SCFH flow. This results in doing the calibration with a pressure on the cell,
for example, of 2 PSI (approximately 56 inches of water column). When he removes his calibra-
tion gases, and the probe sensing cell returns to the normal duct pressure of -1 inch of water
column, the probe will be reading low by approximately 0.5% O2:
• 56 inches H2O pressure during calibration = 12% of reading shift (56 in H2O / 7 inH2O x
1.5% = 12%)
• If normal process O2 readings are 4% O2 then 4 x 0.12 = 0.48 % O2 shift downwards
(3.52% O2)
Although instruction manuals are clear in warning against this situation, it still occurs.
The new Plugged Diffuser Diagnostic in the 6888Xi electronics operates on the principle of
measuring the "return to process" time during the calibration purge cycle (after the second cali-
bration gas is removed). The return to process time measurement is used to calculate a diffuser
response time (Diff T90) and to generate a warning to the user when the return to process time
has exceeded 75% of the configured purge time. Default purge time is 300 seconds, but it's
important for the user to configure the actual purge time for their process conditions. A purge
time that is too long will prevent a plugged diffuser alarm from triggering until the diffuser
pluggage is very bad. If the purge time is set too short, and probe has not fully returned to
the process reading after the configured purge time expires, then the process reading will be in
error due to test gas not being fully purged from the sensing cell area. As the diffuser becomes
more plugged, the time to fully purge the sensing cell area of calibration test gas will increase.
The plugged diffuser feature works best with an automatic calibration system, where the probe
electronics knows the exact timing of the solenoid gas switching. The diagnostic will also work
for manual calibrations by detecting milivolt changes at the sensing cell during the stop gas
phase of the calibration, when the second calibration gas has been disconnected.
In addition to providing a warning of possible diffuser pluggage, this feature can also be used to
minimize the usage of calibration test gas and the time to perform a calibration. This capability
is enabled by configuring the Auto Advance Cal parameter. When Auto Advance Cal is enabled,
the plugged diffuser diagnostic will advance an automatic calibration when the readings for test
gasses and the process measurement have become stable. By doing this, the amount of time
that test gasses flow and purge are kept to a minimum.
The rate method is recommended for the plugged diffuser diagnostic. The rate method should
work best for most applications, however if the diagnostic generates warnings with a new probe
and/or diffuser, it may be necessary to switch the detection method to proximity.
By default, the Auto Advance Cal feature is disabled. Enabling Auto Advance Cal minimizes test
gas useage and calibration time. When using the Auto Advance Cal feature, it is recommended
using the default settings for gas time and purge time configuration (300 seconds).
January 2019 00809-0100-4892
A "Diffuser Warning" alarm will be generated within the 6888Xi if the diagnostic detects a vari-
ety of problems related to measuring the “return to process” time. To determine the exact
cause for the Diffuser Warning alarm it is necessary to look at the Diffuser Warn parameter. See
the Parameter Descriptions for a description of all possible Diffuser Warning indications in the
Diff Warn parameter.
The most important Diffuser Warning indication is “Diffuser Plugging” which is triggered if the
time to return to process reaches greater than 75% of the configured purge time. If using the
default purge time of 300 seconds, the warning will be generated when the plugging diffuser
increases the actual purge time to 225 seconds. The purge time may be configured to a larger
value if desired to stop the warning from occuring after future calibrations. Once the diffuser
plugs enough to increase the actual purge time to 75% of the new configured value, the warn-
ing will start appearing again. Once the warning has occurred, it can be cleared by acknowledg-
ing the alarm. Note that if the configured purge time is set shorter than the actual purge time
determined by the diagnostic, the Diffuser Warning indication will typically be “Purge End
Premature.”
Also note that the Diffuser Warning alarm will never cause the O2 output signal to go to a "fail"
condition (typically 3.5 mA).
The plugged diffuser diagnostic parameters are located in two separate locations in the 6888Xi
menu.
• Setup parameters are located at: Menu\Detailed Setup\Calibration\Diffuser
• Diagnostic results parameters are located at: Menu\Calibration\Diffuser
Each parameter is described below:
Menu\Detailed Setup\Calibration\Diffuser\Plugged Diffuser

• Disabled – The plugged diffuser diagnostic is disabled.
• Rate – The plugged diffuser diagnostic is enabled with the rate mode algorithm. With
this mode, the “returned to process” is indicated by the process reading having a small
rate of change. This mode will function correctly even if the process is likely to be dif-
ferent at the end of the calibration than at the beginning. This is the default and rec-
ommended mode of operation.
• Proximity – The plugged diffuser diagnostic is enabled with the proximity mode algo-
rithm. With this mode, the “return to process” is indicated when the process reading
returns close to the value that it had when the calibration was started. This mode will
function correctly when the process reading is stable throughout the calibration.
• Rate & Prox. – The plugged diffuser diagnostic is enabled with both Rate and Proximity
mode algorithms. With this mode, the “return to process” is indicated when both the
Rate and Proximity criteria are met.
Menu\Detailed Setup\Calibration\Diffuser\Auto Advance Cal

• Yes – Enables the Auto Advanace Cal option to sequence an automatic calibration sys-
tem. If an automatic calibration system is used, test gases will be switched automati-
cally once the readings settle out rather than waiting for the configured gas time to

00809-0100-4892 January 2019
expire. If manual calibration gas switching is used, the technician will be prompted to
switch gases. In either case, the purge time will be ended automatically once the
process reading has settled rather than wait for the configured purge time to expire.
• No – The Auto Advance Cal option is disabled. Test gas time and purge time will always
follow the configured value.
Menu\Calibration\Diffuser\Diff Diagnostics
• Process – This is the sensor voltage output value at the start of the calibration. For the
“Proximity” and “Rate&Prox” modes of the plugged diffuser diagnostic algorithm, it will
be used to determine when the sensor has returned to the process measurement.
• O2 – The real-time sensor voltage output value during calibration .
• Step – The current step of the calibration process.
• Step Time – The time remaining for the current calibration step.
• Diag Step – The current step of the plugged diffuser diagnostic algorithm.
• Init Response – The time for the Initial response of the cell after the calibration test gas
is applied. Applies only when automatic calibration sequencing is utilized (as opposed to
manually applying calibration test gasses).
• Process Resp – Initial response back to the process after the calibration test gas is
removed (Tinitial). Applies only when automatic calibration sequencing is utilized (as
opposed to manually applying calibration test gasses).
• Rtn Process – Return to process time (Tfinal) which is also the actual purge time. This
may also be defined as the time it takes to get back to the initial "process" reading, or
the time for the "rate" of the sensor output change to reach near zero, or both depend-
ing on which mode of the diagnostic has been enabled.
• O2 Rate Change – The rate of change of the O2 sensor output in mV/sec. This is used to
determine when calibration test gasses and the process measurement have settled.
Menu\Calibration\Diffuser\Diff T90
• 90% of the Rtn Process time. This is a quantitative measure of the diffuser pluggage.
Menu\Calibration\Diffuser\Purge Time
• The plugged diffuser diagnostic operates during the purge cycle (the time after the last
calibration test gas is removed to give the process gas time to replace the calibration
test gas in the sensing cell). Purge time % is the return to process time as a % of the
configured Purge Time.
Menu\Calibration\Diffuser\Diff Warn
• None – This Diff Warn result will not produce a Diffuser Warning alarm. This result indi-
cates that the diffuser diagnostic has not detected anything to report to the user. This
is also the result after a power on reset or after acknowledging the Diffuser Warning
alarm.
• Gas 1 no detect – Gas 1 was not detected at the sensing cell, indicating that Gas 1 is not
flowing or the Gas 1 calibration test gas is very close to the actual process value.
• Gas 2 no detect – Gas 2 was not detected at the sensing cell, possibly indicating that
Gas 2 is not flowing (with a significantly plugged diffuser) or the Gas 2 calibration test

January 2019 00809-0100-4892
gas value is nearly the same as Gas 1.

• Gas 1 unstable- The Gas 1 reading did not settle within the Gas Flow Time.
• Gas 2 unstable – The Gas 2 reading did not settle within the Gas Flow Time.
• Process No Detect – The process gas was not detected during the purge cycle, possibly
indicating that Gas 2 is not flowing or the Gas 2 calibration test gas is very close to the
actual process value.
• Purge End Premature – This indicates that the configured Purge Time expired prior to
the diagnostic algorithm determining that the sensing cell is completely returned to
the process reading. This would occur primarily with the Rate mode algorithm.
• Fail Reach Process – This indicates that the configured Purge Time expired prior to the
diagnostic algorithm reaching the process reading that was indicated at the start of the
calibration. This would occur primarily with the Proximity mode algorithm.
• Diffuser Plugging – This warning is generated when Purge Time % has reached 75% indi-
cating a near term risk that the configured purge time could expire before the process
value is reached after a calibration purge.
• Constant Shifting – This indicates that the calibration constant is trending negative
over an extended period of time which could also indicate that calibration test gas is
causing excessive pressurization of the sensing cell during the calibration.

FIGURE 3-5. 375/475 Field Communicator Connection at the 6888Xi
The 375/475 Field Communicator accomplishes its task using a frequency shift keying (FSK)
technique. With the use of FSK, high-frequency digital communication signals are superim-
posed on the 6888Xi's 4-20 mA current loop. The 375/475 Field Communicator does not disturb
the 4-20 mA signal, since no net energy is added to the loop.
3.6.1 Field Communicator Signal Line Connections

When working at the 6888Xi, the 375/475 Field Communicator can be connected directly to
test points TP21 and TP22 on the 6888Xi I/O Board as shown in Figure 3-5. The AM+ and AM-
test points are provided to monitor the 4-20 mA signal without breaking into the loop.
3.6.2 Field Communicator Menu Trees

Connect the 375/475 Field Communicator in the 6888Xi (6888Xi-to-DCS) 4-20 mA signal loop
or to the 6888Xi terminals as shown in Figure 3-5 and refer to Figure 3-6 for the 375/475 Field
Communicator 6888Xi menu tree.
3.7 Parameter Setup

3.7.1 Test Gas Values
Use a Field Communicator or the 6888Xi to set test gas values for calibration.

3.8 Calibration
3.8.1 General
New O2 cells may operate for more than a year without requiring calibration, but older cells may
require recalibration every few weeks as they near the end of their life.
A CALIBRATION RECOMMENDED alarm provides notice of when a calibration is required. This
strategy ensures that the O2 reading is always accurate and eliminates many unnecessary cali-
brations based on calendar days or weeks since previous calibration.
The O2 Probe(s) can be calibrated manually through the handheld 375/475 Field Communicator
or the 6888Xi. Fully automatic calibration can be performed automatically using the 6888Xi and
the SPS 4001B Single Probe Autocalibration Sequencer or the IMPS 4000 Intelligent Multiprobe
Sequencer.

January 2019 00809-0100-4892
3.8.2 Calibration Procedure

This section covers manual calibration. For automatic calibration details see the Reference
Manual for the SPS 4001B Single Probe Autocalibration Sequencer or the IMPS 4000 Intelligent
Multiprobe Test Gas Sequencer.
Calibration can be performed using two basic calibration methods. The methods available to
you for use depend on the configuration of your system. The paragraphs that follow describe
how to perform a calibration for the configurations shown in Figure 3-7.
Setup of the calibration parameters should be performed before the first O2 calibration.
WARNING
Thereafter, perform calibration setup only as needed to change the calibration parameters or to
reset the parameters following the replacement of primary system components.
When performing a calibration, certain settings will cause specific actions to occur. If calibration
acknowledge is set to yes, each calibration will generate an alarm condition that requires the
operator to decide whether or not to accept the new calibration. The 6888XI will continue to
function after the calibration completes, but the new slope and constant will not be implement-
ed until accepted. If the 6888XI has the diffuser warning function activated, a diffuser warning
alarm may occur after a calibration. If an alarm occurs, it will need to be acknowledged and the
associated parameters need to be reviewed to determine if there is any significant fouling of the
diffuser.
O2 Calibration with 6888Xi

For systems with configuration 1, shown in Figure 3-5, use the following procedure to perform a
calibration using the 6888Xi. If necessary, use the 6888Xi menu tree in Figure 3-2 for refer-

Section 4: Troubleshooting
4.1 Overview
When the Zirconium Oxide sensing cell is heated to its setpoint [736 °C (1357 °F)], the cell will
generate a voltage that represents the difference between the process O2% and the reference
O2% inside the probe (20.95% O2 instrument or ambient air).
When flowing calibration gases, the raw cell millivolt value should represent the levels on the
chart in Figure 4-1. Note that the raw cell millivolt value increases logrithmically as the O2 con-
centration decreases.

4.2 General
WARNING
Install all protective equipment covers and safety ground leads after troubleshooting. Failure to install cov-
ers and ground leads could result in serious injury or death.
Consider the following equipment conditions, features, and requirements when troubleshooting
a problem.
4.2.1 Grounding
It is essential that adequate grounding precautions are taken when installing the system.
Thoroughly check both the probe and electronics to ensure the grounding quality has not
degraded during fault finding. The system provides facilities for 100% effective grounding and
the total elimination of ground loops.
4.2.2 Electrical Noise

The 6888Xi has been designed to operate in the type of environment normally found in a boiler
room or control room. Noise suppression circuits are employed on all field terminations and
main inputs. When fault finding, evaluate the electrical noise being generated in the immediate
circuitry of a faulty system. Ensure all cable shields are connected to earth.
4.2.3 Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge can damage the ICs used in the electronics. Before removing or handling
the circuit boards, ensure you are at ground potential.
4.3 Alarm Indications

The first indication of a problem at the O2 measuring system usually comes from the operators
running the process. Critical alarms that render the O2 measurement unusable will force the 4-
20 mA analog output signal representing O2 to go to a default condition, as follows:
Table 4-1 - Alarm Indications

4-20 mA Signal Alarm Level Transmitter Condition
0 mA Transmitter unpowered, or completely failed
3.5 mA Critical Alarm - transmitter reading unusable (factory default)
Reading Under Range
3.8 mA
(Example - user sets range to 2-10%. Current reading is 1.9%)
4 to 20 mA Normal Operation
20.5 mA Reading Over Range (Example - range is 0-10%. Current reading is 12%)
Critical Alarm - transmitter reading is unusable (user can choose this
>21 mA
alarm level instead of the factory default level of 3.5 to 3.6 mA)
72 Troubleshooting
00809-0100-4892 January 2019
NOTE
For correct operation, ensue the Distributed Control System is configured to interpret these signal levels
correctly.
Once an alarm condition is identified, the 6888Xi offers a number of diagnostics to interpret the
specific alarm.
Alarm indications are available via the 6888Xi or the 475 Field Communicator and Rosemount
Analytical's Asset Management software. When the error is corrected and/or power is cycled, the
diagnostic alarms will clear or the next error on the priority list will appear.
4.4 Identifying and Correcting Fault Indications

There are two types of alarms; recoverable and non recoverable. If an existing alarm is recover-

4.5 Calibration passes, but still reads incorrectly

There are a few fault conditions where no alarm indication is present and the probe passes cali-
bration, but the O2 reading may still be incorrect:
1. An incorrect flow rate of calibration gases can cause a shifted calibration. If the flow rate of
calibration gases is too low, process gases can mix in with the calibration gases causing a mix-
74 Troubleshooting
00809-0100-4892 January 2019
ture at the cell that is different than what is noted on the calibration gas bottles. Always set
the calibration flow rate when a new diffuser is installed, and never readjust this flow rate
until another new diffuser is installed. For applications with heavy particulate loading, see
"Probe Passes Calibration, O2 Still Reads Low". Always use a two stage pressure regulator for
calibration gas.
2. No or improper reference air supplied.
4.5.1 Probe passes calibration, O2 still reads high

External Reference Air Leak - There may be a leak that is permitting ambient air to mix with the
process gases. Since many combustion processes are slightly negative in pressure, ambient air
can be drawn into the cell area, biasing the O2 reading upward.
1. Make sure that the calibration gas line is capped tightly between calibrations.
2. If autocal is used, make sure the check valve is seating properly.
3. If an abrasive shield is used, a small leak at the probe flange gasket can migrate down the
annular space between the probe OD and shield ID to the sensing cell causing a false high O2
reading.
FIGURE 4-2. Probe Leakage Paths
Internal Reference Air Leak - See Figure 4-2. There may be a leak inside the O2 Probe itself, per-
mitting the reference air (20.95% O2) to mix with the process gases at the cell. To confirm this
leak condition, pressurize the inside (reference side) of the probe by plugging the reference air
exhaust port with your finger for 1 minute. (The conduit ports where the signal and power wires
pass may also need to be sealed.) The O2 reading should decrease slightly. If the O2 reading
increases during this test there is a leak inside the probe.
1. Acid condensation inside the probe can degrade the hose that carries the cal gas to the cell.
Inspect this hose. Dislodging or improper installation of the cal gas or reference air hose can
cause a leakage path.
NOTE
Aways install a new corrugated washer whenever the sensing cell is removed from the probe.
2. The sensing cell is fastened to the end of the probe tube and uses a corrugated washer to
separate the process gases from the ambient reference air. The corrugated washer may be
damaged by corrosion. Discard used washer.
Troubleshooting 75
January 2019 00809-0100-4892
Bad Reference Side Cell Electrode - A bad reference side cell electrode can cause an elevated O2
reading.This fault is usually indicated by a frequent "Calibration Recommended" alarm and
increasing cell impedance readings. A high cell impedance can be calibrated out, but if the
impedance continues to increase rapidly, the sensing cell must be replaced.
4.5.2 Probe passes calibration, O2 still reads low

The diffusion element at the end of the probe is a passive filter. It plugs very slowly, since there is
no active flow being drawn across it. In applications that have a heavy particulate loading (coal
or wood fired boilers, cement and lime kilns, catalyst regeneration, recovery boilers, etc.), this
diffusion element will eventually plug.
NOTE
It is important not to pressurize the sensing cell during calibrations by flowing excessive cal gas against a
plugged diffuser. Always use a two-stage regulator for setting calibration gas pressure. Calibration flow
rates should be set only when a new diffuser is installed. As the diffuser plugs, do not adjust the flow rates
upward.
4.5.3 How do I detect a plugged diffuser?

The O2 cell's speed of response will degrade. The O2 trend in the control room will become
smoother.
When calibrating, the calibration gas flow rate will be noted to be lower. Never readjust this flow
upwards to correct for a plugged diffuser. Adjust this flow only when a new diffuser is installed.
Always note the time it takes for the cell to recover to the normal process value after the cal gas
is removed. As the diffuser plugs, this recovery time will get longer and longer. Use the
Calibration Record provided to record and track Calibration Response times.
The 6888Xi Advanced Electronics is available with enhanced software feature to automatically
characterize the rate of diffuser pluggage during a calibration cycle.
4.5.4 Can I calibrate a badly plugged diffuser?

It may not be possible to immediately replace a plugged diffuser while the process is on line.
One can calibrate the probe without pressurizing the cell by adjusting the calibration gas flow
rate downward before calibration. For instance, say the process is at 3%, and the first calibration
gas is 8%. Adjust the flow of cal gas downward until the reading begins to migrate from 8% to
lower values, indicating that process gases are now mixing in with the calibration gases.
Adjust the flow rate back up until this mixing is just eliminated. Calibrate at this flow rate.
Replace the diffuser at the first opportunity.
WARNING
Install all protective equipment covers and safety ground leads after troubleshooting. Failure to install cov-
ers and ground leads could result in serious injury or death.

5.1 Overview
WARNING
Install all protective equipment covers and safety ground leads after equipment repair or service. Failure to
install covers and ground leads could result in serious injury or death.
This section identifies the calibration methods available and provides the procedures to main-
tain and service the 6888Xi.
5.2 Maintenance Intervals

The maintenance interval required is quite variable, depending on the type of service the analyz-
er is placed into. The zirconium oxide sensing cell is non-depleting, and has no specific shelf life
or a defined life in flue gas operation. The cell of a probe that is mounted inside a boiler that is
burning natural gas may shift very little over several years. Acidic compounds are the main
aggressors to the sensing cell, typically SO2 resulting from sulfur contained in coal and heavy oil
fuels, and also HCl from the combustion of plastics in municipal incinerators and in industrial
thermal oxidizers. Sensing cells may experience significant degradation and signal shift in this
type of service, particularly if the operating levels of O2 are very low (below 1% O2).
A calibration check is generally recommended on a quarterly basis (every 3 months) by flowing
bottled gas to the probe. (Make sure that the operations personnel are notified when doing this,
and also make sure that the O2 control loop is placed in manual mode). If the probe readings
vary significantly from the bottle values, then a formal calibration should be conducted as noted
in Section 3: Configuration, Startup and Operation.
The 6888Xi offers a "calibration recommended" diagnostic that will indicate when the probe
needs to be calibrated.
Combustion processes that have a high level of ash or other particulate content will cause the
diffusion element on the end of the probe to plug off. A badly plugged diffuser will cause a slow-
er speed of response to changing O2 levels in the process. This can usually be seen on the record-
ed trends in the control room.
When performing a calibration check or actual calibration, the calibration flow meter may read
lower if the diffuser is badly plugged. (Never increase the flow rate back up, however, as this can
cause a shifted calibration. Adjust the calibration flow rate only when a new diffuser is installed).
Always record the response time back to the process after the calibration gases are removed, as
noted on the calibration record at the end of this section. Diffuser pluggage can be tracked
through this record.
A visual inspection of the probe should be conducted during plant outages, paying particular
attention to condensed components. Condensation can be reduced or eliminated by insulating
the probe installation, including the probe mount, flange, and blue housing.

7.1 HART® Handheld 375/475 Field Communicator
The 375/475 Field Communicator is an interface device that provides a common communica-
tion link to HART-compatible instruments, such as the 6888Xi. HART Communications Protocol
permits all the information available from the 6888Xi's electronics to be transmitted over stan-
dard 4-20 mA signal wires. By attaching the 375/475 Field Communicator at a termination point
along the
4-20 mA signal line, a technician can diagnose problems and configure and calibrate the 6888Xi
as if he or she were standing in front of the instrument.
For more information, call Rosemount Analytical at 1-800-433-6076.
