OCX 8800

Instruction Manual

IM-106-880, Rev 1.0 January 2007

NOTE

To maintain proper earth grounding, ensure a positive connection exists between the sensor housing, the electronics housing, and earth. The connecting ground wire must be 14 AWG minimum. Refer to Figure 2-4.

NOTE

Line voltage, signal, and relay wiring must be rated for at least 105ºC (221ºF).

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections, power and communications are made to the electronic enclosure. The connections are made through two 3/4 NPT ports in the enclosure using fittings and cables provided by the customer. Cable installation must meet NEC, IEC and/or other applicable national or local codes for Class I, Zone 1, IIB +H2 T3/T6 permanently mounted equipment.

Connect Line Voltage

The OCX 8800 operates on 100 to 240 VAC line voltage at 50 to 60 Hz. The power supply requires no setup. Connect the line (L wire) to the L terminal, and the neutral (N wire) to the N terminal on the AC power input terminal block in the electronics housing. Connect the ground (G wire) to the ground stud in the electronics housing as shown in Figure 2-4.

Connect 4-20 mA Signals

Connect the 4-20 mA current loop to the 4-20 mA signal output terminals in the electronics housing as shown in Figure 2-4.Use individual shielded twisted wire pairs. Terminate the shield at the electronics housing.

O2 4-20 mA Signal

One 4-20 mA signal represents the O2 value. Superimposed on the O2 signal is the HART information accessible through a Model 275/375 Handheld Communicator or AMS software. The O2 signal is at the AOUT 1 terminals.

COe 4-20 mA Signal

Another 4-20 mA signal at the AOUT 2 terminals represents the COe value. HART information is not available on the COe signal.

Alarm Output Relay

Connect any customer-supplied relay input to the alarm output relay terminal. Use shielded wire and terminate the shield at the electronics housing. The alarm output relay terminal is a set of dry, no. 2, form C, contacts with 30 mA, 30 VDC capacity.
