Manual General information
00809-0100-4891 January 2023
1 General information
1.1 Overview
The 6888 is Rosemount's latest combustion flue gas oxygen analyzer. This
product is intended for measuring the flue gases resulting from any combustion
process.
This product uses an in situ sensor, i.e., the sensor is placed at the end of the
probe, and the probe extends directly into the flue gas duct or stack at a given
length. The sensor is like a thermocouple, generating its own millivolt signal
based on the difference between a reference gas (ambient or instrument air -
always 20.95% O2) and the flue gases being measured. This manual covers the
Rosemount 6888C, which is the hazardous area probe version.
This probe can be configured as a blind stand-alone transmitter where HART® or
FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ communications can be used as a method of accessing
the electronics for setup, operation, and diagnostics or with one of several remote
electronics options, as noted below in System configurations. Wiring diagrams for
each of these configurations follow in Electrical installation.
There are several different arrangements of probes, electronics, and features that
are explained below and in the wiring diagrams.
1.2 System configurations

1.2.1 Hazardous Area Transmitter probe only
The Rosemount 6888 probe has the electronics in the blue housing that controls
the heater temperature and also amplifies the raw O2 millivolt signal to a linear
4-20 mA. The 4-20 mA signal lines can be run directly to the control room and also
power the transmitter electronics. As with most other Rosemount transmitters
measuring pressure, temperature, and flow, setup is conducted through HART
communications via a Field Communicator or Asset Management Solutions (AMS).
1.2.2 Standard housing Hazardous Area Transmitter

probe with General Purpose Rosemount 6888 Xi
Electronics
The Rosemount 6888 Xi Electronics serve as a local operator interface unit,
with a back-lit display and keypad. It is capable of two channels, serving two
Rosemount 6888 probes. The Rosemount 6888 Xi also carries these optional
advanced features:
• Fully automatic calibration. Requires Rosemount 6888 Xi O2 Cal Auto
calibration system
Manual 7
General information Manual
January 2023 00809-0100-4891
• Loss of flame contact for powering down the heater in the event of a flame-out
condition in a furnace.
• Heaterless operation at process temperatures above 550 °C (1022 °F). This
feature will also permit operation above the heater setpoint of 736 °C (1357
°F). Sensing cell life will be shortened by operation above 800 °C (1472 °F),
however.
• The plugged diffuser diagnostic operates by measuring the return-to-process
rate after calibration gas has been stopped. This feature also includes auto gas
switching when the reading settles out versus waiting for configured gas flow
time to expire.
• Stoichiometer - If a furnace goes into a reducing condition (0% O2), this feature
will determine how far.
• Programmable reference - Permits more accurate readings at near-ambient O2
levels (20.95% O2).
• A cal check capability. New calibration values are not automatically stored after
a calibration. An accept/reject calibration feature can be enabled or disabled so
that the technician or operator can decide to accept or reject a potentially large
change in calibration values.
• Tolerance check that will alarm if the wrong test gases are being used or if a
bottle runs out in the middle of a calibration. Care must be taken to ensure gas
1 and gas 2 calibration gases are properly configured if the tolerance check
feature is enabled.
1.2.3 Hazardous Area Rosemount 6888C probe with

General Purpose Rosemount Xi Electronics with
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
Rosemount 6888 Xi and is actuated via a dry contact input from the user's flame
scanner. A closed contact indicates a flame is present. An open contact indicates a
loss of flame. This feature is also available with the Integral autocal housing.

Integral Autocal General Purpose Rosemount 6888
Xi Electronics
This probe contains gas-switching solenoids so that the Rosemount 6888 Xi
Electronics can control the introduction of calibration gases. Calibrations can be
intiated via a calibration recommended diagnostic, time since last calibration,
manually via external dry contact, HART communications, or from the Rosemount
6888 Xi local operator interface keypad. The integral autocal feature can only be
implemented when the probe is used with a Rosemount 6888 Xi.
8 Rosemount 6888C
Manual General information
00809-0100-4891 January 2023

Integral Autocal and Foundation Fieldbus (FF)
communications
This probe contains gas-switching solenoids that can control the introduction of
calibration gases for calibration. Calibrations can be initiated automatically via
a calibration recommended diagnostic, time since last calibration, or manually
via optional Xi keypad, FF communications via the Field Communicator, or AMS
console. Unlike the HART transmitter electronics, the FF version can execute
automatic calibrations either with or without the optional Rosemount 6888 Xi
Electronics. Likewise, advanced features can be implemented either with or
without the optional Xi.
1.2.6 Hazardous Area Rosemount 6888C direct

replacement (DR) probe with General Purpose
Traditional Architecture Rosemount 6888 Xi
Electronics
Here there are no electronics inside the probe head, so the raw sensor signals for
the heater thermocouple and zirconium oxide O2 sensor are sent to a remote
Rosemount 6888 Xi Electronics. The Rosemount 6888 Traditional Architecture
Electronics will also directly apply power to the probe heater in order to maintain
the correct sensor temperature. This arrangement calls for a 7-conductor cable
to carry this power and the sensor signals. Maximum length for this cable is
200 feet. This probe will also operate on previous Westinghouse/Rosemount
electronics (World Class and Oxymitter), as well as many competitive electronics.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS AREAS
Cables are supplied with Exd Rated Glands; the cable is not ExD rated, and
installation in a hazardous area is the responsibility of the installer/customer.
Cables must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
1.2.7 Wireless capability

Both the analyzer electronics in the head of the probe and the Rosemount 6888Xi
Electronics communicate over HART communications and can implement wireless
communications via Emerson Wireless 775 THUM™ Adapter.

Manual Calibration
00809-0100-4891 January 2023
6 Calibration
You can calibrate the Rosemount 6888C in the installed condition without
removing the instrument from the process duct and also while the combustion
process is online.
A stainless steel tube runs the length of the probe and delivers the calibration
gases into the cell area. Factory calibration is usually satisfactory for initial
startup and operation, but most accurate measurement is gained by executing
a calibration under normal operating conditions.
Emerson recommends using 0.4% O2 and 8% O2 as calibration gases, with the
balance of nitrogen in the gas bottles, but you can use other values as long as the
electronics are configured identically. Emerson does not recommend instrument
air or pure nitrogen as calibration gas values.
Use a two-stage pressure regulator to establish a pressure of 15 psi from the
bottles and set the flowmeter to 5 scfh flow rateor less.
WARNING
Explosion
Do not use explosive gases or gases with an O2 percentage greater than that
found in ambient air (i.e., 20.95 percent O2).
6.1 Manual/semi-automatic calibration

A technician can calibrate the Rosemount 6888C probe with standard housing
by following prompts via the display of the Rosemount 6888Xi Electronics or via
HART® communications to a Field Communicator or Asset Management Solutions
(AMS) console.
Manually switch the gases based upon these prompts. We recommend using
0.4 percent O2 and 8 percent O2, balance nitrogen as calibration gases. Always
use a two-stage pressure regulator set to 20 psig (1.38 barg). Set the calibration
gas flow meter for a maximum of 5 scfh with the cal gas fitting removed from
the probe. Do not use explosive gases or gases with greater percentage of O2
than that found in ambient air, such as 20.95 percent O2. A diffuser/filter that is
plugged over time may cause the flow meter to deliver less flow to the sensing
cell, but never readjust the flow rate until a new diffuser is installed. Readjusting
the flow meter back up to the 5 scfh level could pressurize the cell during
calibration and cause the O2 reading to shift downwards.
The electronics determine if the calibration was successful and calculate new
calibration values. New calibration values are not automatically loaded into the
electronics after a successful calibration, however. You have the choice to accept
or reject the new values.
A significant calibration change may cause a bump in the O2 readings at the
DCS console, causing operator concern. Record the calibration data on a log
(cell slope, constant, and impedance, as well as the speed of response data).
Manual 55
Calibration Manual
January 2023 00809-0100-4891
If the electronics is used, it stores calibration data for the past ten successful
calibrations.
CAUTION
Reading errors
Make sure the calibration gas cap is replaced tightly after calibration is complete.
Many combustion processes operate at a slight negative pressure (draft pressure)
and can draw ambient air down the cal gas lines and into the sensing cell, causing
a falsely elevated O2 reading. The same phenomenon is possible if the calibration
gas hoses are permitted to become degraded or loose.
6.2 Fully automatic calibration

For fully automatic calibration, the Rosemount 6888Xi Electronics must manage
the actuation of solenoids to introduce gases into the probe.
6.2.1 Probe with standard electronics housing

In addition to the Rosemount™ 6888 Xi, this arrangement requires a separate
single probe sequencer (SPS), which is a solenoid box for switching calibration
gases or a larger intelligent multiprobe sequencer (IMPS) which can handle the
autocal for up to four probes in one box.
The automatic calibrations can be initiated in several ways:
• Calibration recommended diagnostic that is periodically checking cell
impedance.
• Push button on the Rosemount 6888 Xi Electronics.
• HART® communications from a Field Communicator or AMS.
• External contact closure.
• Time since the last successful calibration.
Note
To manually initiate an automatic calibration, select 9999 for CAL INTERVAL in the
setup menu.
If using the O2 measurement for automatic control, always place the O2 control
loop into manual prior to calibrating. Always inform the operator prior to
calibrating. The Rosemount 6888 Xi Electronics provides an in cal contact closure
for this purpose as well as an initiate cal contact.
The Rosemount 6888 Xi Electronics sequences the calibration gases in turn into
the sensing cell. A 300 second flow time is the factory default for both gases and
also for the purge cycle, which lets the probe signal come back to the normal
flue gas readings. The 4-20 mA signal representing O2 can be held during the
calibration cycle or permitted to vary with the bottled gases, in which case a
record of the calibration can be trended at the DCS.
Calibration setup is found under the detailed setup menu.
56 Rosemount 6888C
Manual Calibration
00809-0100-4891 January 2023
6.2.2 Probe with integral autocal housing

This probe contains the autocal solenoids within the blue electronics housing,
eliminating the need and cost for an SPS or IMPS solenoid enclosure. Both
calibration gases are permanently piped into two ports on the probe. It's
important to confirm that there are no piping leaks or the calibration bottles will
leak down permanently.
Note
The calibration sequence from the Rosemount™ 6888 Xi Electronics is identical
to that for the manual/semiautomatic calibration, but note that with the integral
autocal version of this probe it is not possible to conduct a manual calibration.
The factory offers a probe rebuild capability if solenoid or other failures occur.
CAUTION
Leaks
Calibration gas bottles are piped and under pressure at all times, so be sure to
leak-check all fittings, tubing, and connections. Always use dual-stage pressure
regulators.
6.2.3 Other features associated with calibration

1. Cal Check capability - You can look at new calibration values prior to having
them load in and become active. If this feature is selected, a calibration
changed alarm comes up after the calibration is complete. Push Diagnostics
button on the Rosemount Xi to require an Accept Cal step, so that the
technician and operator can decide if they are ready to accept a potentially
large change in calibration values.
2. Plugged diffuser diagnostic - this feature measures the return-to-process
rate after calibration gases are removed and will alarm when this time
exceeds 75% of the purge time configured. A purge time too short alarm
is an indication that the diagnostic could not work because of a short purge
time and is another indication that the diffuser is plugged. Increase purge
time in this case.
Another feature that comes with the plugged diffuser diagnostic is auto
gas switching. This feature switches cal gases and also ends the purge
sequence when the readings settle out vs. waiting for a configured flow
time. This saves time and gas.
3. Tolerance check - alarms if the cell mV signal is significantly different from
the expected signal of the bottles noted in the setup. This indicates if the
wrong bottles are being used or if a bottle runs out in the middle of a
calibration.
Calibration setup is under the Detailed Setup menu on the Rosemount Xi menu.

8 Maintenance and service

8.1 Overview
This section identifies the calibration methods available and provides the
procedures to maintain and service the Rosemount 6888C O2 transmitter.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK
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.
8.2 Maintenance intervals

The required maintenance interval depends on the ambient and process
conditions the analyzer is exposed to.
The zirconium oxide sensing cell is non-depleting and has no specific shelf life
or a defined life in flue gas operation. The sensitivity of a sensing cell that is
mounted inside a boiler that is burning natural gas may shift slightly 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 recommended on a quarterly basis (every three months)
by flowing bottled gas to the probe. (Verify 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 conduct a formal calibration.
The optional Rosemount 6888Xi offers a calibration recommended diagnostic
that indicates when the probe needs to be calibrated.
Combustion processes with a high level of ash or other particulate content will
cause the diffusion element on the end of the probe to plug. A significantly
plugged diffuser causes a slower speed of response to changing O2 levels in the
process. This can usually be seen on the recorded trends in the control room. In
addition, a significantly plugged diffuser can introduce error during a calibration
and negatively affect accuracy.
When performing a calibration check or actual calibration, the calibration flow
meter may read lower if the diffuser is significantly plugged. Never increase the
flow rate, 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
Manual 65
Maintenance and service Manual

back to the process after the calibration gases are removed. Diffuser plugging can
be tracked through the calibration record.
Visually inspect the probe 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.

8.3.6 Diffusion element replacement

The diffusion element protects the cell from particles in process gases. Normally,
it does not need to be replaced, because the vee deflector protects it from
particulate erosion.
In severe environments, the diffusion element may be broken or subject to
excessive erosion. Examine the element whenever removing the probe for any
purpose. Replace if damaged.
Damage to the diffusion element may become apparent during calibration.
Compare probe response with previous response. A broken diffusion element
will cause an inadequate response to calibration gas. Hex wrenches needed
to remove setscrews and socket head screws in the following procedure are
available as part of a probe disassembly kit, Table 9-1.
