OxyBalance System Features

The OxyBalance is a display and averaging system that augments the Oxymitter O2 probe product line. It receives up to (8) 4-20 mA signals from Rosemount, Westinghouse, or other O2 probes, and calculates and transmits up to 4 additional programmable averages (again 4-20 mA). The OxyBalance system also displays the individual and averaged outputs on a color touch screen graphic panel. Trend screens, bar graphs (individual probes only), and alarming indications are provided when a probe goes off line.

The OxyBalance system replaces much of the functionality of older averaging systems offered by Westinghouse and Rosemount - the Control Room Electronics (CRE), 1500 Controller-based averaging systems, and the Veritrak-based 1290 systems. It should be noted, however, that the heater control and signal conditioning for each individual probe is executed within separate electronics for each probe. Unlike past averaging systems, and most current competitive averaging systems, there is no component failure in the OxyBalance system that will cause the loss of individual probe signals.

The OxyBalance system senses 4-20 mA inputs automatically. Averages are very easy to set up. Any probes that may fail will default to a 3.5 mA signal level, indicate in red, and the OxyBalance system will remove these probes from the average. Likewise, probes that are in calibration will indicate blue, and provide a contact closure to the OxyBalance system to remove them from the average while calibrating.

Trends offer adjustable scaling, three time spans (5 min., 8 hrs., and 24 hrs.), and panning capability back and forth in history.

The standard OxyBalance system includes the following features:

•Graphically displays and trends from 1 to 8 O2 measurements.

•Probe inputs may be from Rosemount Analytical, Westinghouse or any competitive O2 probe with a 4-20 mA signal output.

•Generates up to four 4-20 mA signals as programmable averages.

•Failed or calibrating probes are automatically removed from the average

•Individual probe readings remain autonomous and are unaffected by any potential failure of the OxyBalance system.

•Variable time scale trends for each individual probe value, as well as for up to 4 averages.

•Password protection for set up menus.
