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

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 equip-
ment, 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.

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 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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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
NOTE
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.
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.
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).
Section 3: Configuration, Startup and Operation Reference Manual

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:
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

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.

3.8 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.
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.
1. From the calibration prompt screen, press the LEFT arrow key to return to the CALIBRATION
menu.
2. From the CALIBRATION menu, select ABORT CALIBRATION then press ENTER.

Failed Slope – The calculated calibration slope is outside the range of 34.5 to 57.5.
Failed Temperature – With the extended temperature function enabled and the operating
above the heater set point, the process temperature varied by more than ±5°C during the
calibration cycle.
Gas 1 Tolerance Error – The measured value for gas 1 varied more than ±10% from the pro-
grammed value. Possible causes are incorrect gas value programmed in the 6888XI, incor-
rect gas value in bottle, or gas bottle is empty. This error can occur only if the Tolerance
Check feature is active.
Gas 2 Tolerance Error – The measured value for gas 2 varied more than ±10% from the pro-
grammed value. Possible causes are incorrect gas value programmed in the 6888XI, incor-

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
