NOTE TO USERS

 

The number in the lower right corner of each illustration in this publication is

 

a manual illustration number. It is not a part number, and is not related to the

 

illustration in any technical manner.

OVERVIEW

 

 

 

 

The Xi is specifically designed to control a zirconium oxide probe for

 

measuring oxygen, usually the O2 remaining from a combustion process. Call

 

the Rosemount Analytical Customer Support Center (CSC) in Solon, Ohio, to

 

get recommendations for other oxygen probes. 800-433-6076 (US and

 

Canada).

 

The Xi 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 degrees 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 sensor 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 Xi prompts the technician 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 Xi 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 Xi electronics has been verified to operate the following probes:

 

 

 

• Westinghouse 218 and World Class
