Preface
Dear Customer,

Thank you for selecting OXITEC® 5000 as your InSitu Flue Gas Oxygen Analyzer System.
For more than 30 years now our OXITEC® Oxygen Analyzer Systems have been operating in numerous applications in more
than 10.000 units around the world. ENOTEC are committed to total quality and performance and we have continuously
enhanced our products to integrate various features and functions. In this package, the electronic unit uses the very latest
Microprocessor Technology, making the SME5 electronic unit one of the most advanced and up-to-date monitoring units,
permitting you to reduce your maintenance & fuel costs, and to achieve increased measuring accuracy with more operational
reliability using these new monitoring functions.
In all OXITEC® measuring probes you will find that the Zirconium Oxide Sensor is soldered in place using a special process and
technique developed by ENOTEC. This results in a considerably increased service life compared to „glued or cemented“
competitors measuring cells, which have a tendency to leak or crack during operation. The OXITEC® sensor is a proven gas
gas-tight design, providing greater measuring accuracy, durability and longer working life time.
All ENOTEC instruments are thoroughly tested in the factory and are subject to a strict ISO9001 Quality Assurance Procedure.
Therefore, with the correct installation, the operation of the OXITEC® 5000 is very straightforward and user friendly and will
provide you with many years of trouble free operation with perfect measuring results.

1 System Description
1.1 System Overview
Info

Depending on the system configuration ordered by the customer, the electronic unit and / or probe may vary. Refer to
chapters B and B.2 for different versions of electronic units and probes.

Installation and Operation Manual OXITEC® 5000 System Description

1.2 Intended use


Info

The OXITEC® 5000 analyzer system is a system for measuring the oxygen concentration in flue gases and other non-
combustible gases. For reasons of safety and the possibility of accidents, unauthorized conversions and
modifications of the system are prohibited.

Warning

The system cannot be used to determine the oxygen concentration of combustible gases or in a location where
combustible gases are present as the measuring cell temperature of 800°C could present an explosion hazard!

Info
The minimum concentration of O2 in flue gas should under normal process conditions, not be less than 0,5%.
If the O2 concentration is regularly below 0,5%, we recommend the option of CSP (Cell Surface Protection) to pro-
tect the O2 sensor.

Caution
Under no circumstance should the measuring probe be directly connected to the 230V main power supply, as this will
immediately destroy the probe heater element!

1.3 Safety Hazards

Warning hot surface


During operation, the temperature of the probe filter head and of other parts exposed to flue gas is 150°C - 800°C
(302°F - 1472°F). Direct contact with the hot parts when dismantling or maintenance will cause severe burns!

The probe may only be removed with heat-insulated gloves. Before removing the probe, always switch off the supply
voltage of the electronic system. After removal, store the probe in a safe, protected place and wait until it has cooled
down below 35°C (95°F).

1.4 Disruption of the Process


The analyzer system has to be kept in operation also in the event of the process being disrupted or if the plant is
powered off temporarily (e.g. at night or during the weekend). Frequently cooling down and heating up of the probe
results in thermal stress of the hot probe parts (heater, thermocouple and sensor) and reduces their product life.
ENOTEC will not accept any responsibility for resultant damage.

Warning
The device must be provided with an external power-off switch. The line voltage switch/fuse/breaker must be in ac-
cordance with the local technical standards and should be near to the electronic unit and must be clearly marked as
such. The probe cable is suitable for an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +90°C. All other installed cables
must be suitable for the ambient temperature range at side and must have the required size. All electronic unit termi-
nals are specified from 0,08 mm² (AWG 26) to 2,5 mm² (AWG 14). If wire end ferrules are used the next smaller size
is required. Before removal of the electronic terminal cover the line voltage must be switched off. The line voltage to
the electronic unit must be switched on again after the cover is back in position. After installation power conducting
parts may not be accessible.

2.7 Installation of the probe


The flue gas temperature, pressure and all other process conditions must be in accordance with the specification.
Leave enough space for insertion/removal of the probe and protection tube (if supplied) and ensure access to the
measuring probe and/or connecting box. Before cutting a hole in the flue gas duct, make sure that the inside of the
duct has enough space for probe installation and that no soot is blown out nearby or any obstacles are in the way.
For probe lengths exceeding 2000 mm, a support must be mounted inside the duct (every 2m) to prevent the probe
and mounting tube from flexing or bending. ENOTEC recommends installing the probe horizontally for the
fastest possible response time.

The ambient temperature at the connection box and


the process temperature must not be exceeded. Avoid vibrations greater 2g

Maintain the protection class

2.9 Mounting a probe with Cooling Protection Tube

Info
If a cooling tube is used, the part of the protection tube projecting from the duct wall must be insulated or heated if
necessary, to prevent its temperature from dropping below the dew point.

Figure 11 - Insulation of the cooling protection tube

2.10 Adjusting the V-shield

Before installing the probe, the direction of flue gas flow must be determined and the filter head assembly turned
to such a position that the V-shield faces the oncoming flue gas. The filter head can be turned freely a full 360° for
this purpose, by loosening the counter nut, loosening the Allen screw and rotating the filter head / V-shield to the
required position, and then tightening the Allen screw and counter nut.

The O2 Measuring range is linearly scaled and converted to a


linear current output (0/ 4-20 mA).
The parameter „O2 Measuring range from“ is the start value of the
O2 range, leading to an analogue output of 4,00 mA.
„O2 measuring range to“ is the end value of the O2 range, leading
to an output of 20,00 mA.
If a measured value is lower than the start value of the O2 measuring
range, the current output signal drops to 3,60 mA.
(If the current output is set to 0- 20 mA the output is 0 mA)
If the measured O2 value is higher than the end value of the O2
measuring range end, the analogue output rises to 20,40 mA.
If during normal operation the measured O2 value is under, or over
Figure 23 - O2 Measuring Ranges the programmed measuring range, an error message appears on
the display (in measuring mode).

4.2.2 Measuring value averaging for


This entry sets the duration for the continuous average measurement (flowing average). During a calibration or
sensor verification, the measurement average is not shown, though still active for the analogue output.

4.2.3 mA output on system errors


Here the mA output value is set corresponding to a measurement error. The measurement output range for the shown
value (3,60 mA .... 20,40 mA) cannot be defined in this case.

4.2.4 O2 limit alarm settings


The entry “by” sets the value at which the O2 limit alarm is activated.
The O2 limit alarm function “min” defines a value by which the
limit alarm is activated if the measured O2 value falls below the
set limit.
If the hysteresis is set to greater than 0,00,
the limit alarm is reset when the measured O2 value rises above the
set O2 limit plus the hysteresis value .
The O2 limit alarm function “max” defines a value by which the
limit alarm is activated if the measured O2 value rises above the
limit.
If the hysteresis is set to greater than 0,00,
the limit alarm is reset when the measured O2 value falls below the
O2 limit minus the hysteresis value.
Figure 24 - O2 limit alarm settings
If the hysteresis is set to 0,00 % O2, the triggered limit alarm must be
manually reset.

4.2.5 O2 Sensor calibration values

Info

The sensor calibration values can be altered through a 1 or 2 point calibration. Manual entry of values is only
necessary after replacing the O2 sensor. (The sensor calibration values, “cell constant” and “cell slope” can be
found on the probe test protocol for new probes.)

4.2.6 Time per test gas apply


Here the maximum duration of time for the application of test gas or test air is set. If sensor stability is not reached within the
maximum time, the following error message is displayed: “O2 Sensor calibration failed - O2 sensor
signal instable” This problem can be offset by setting a longer duration. The factory setting for maximal duration is 10
Minutes. If necessary, the time can be adjusted between 5 minutes and 30 minutes.

4.2.7 Delay time to process


Here the delay time showing the last measured O2 value from the data storage is frozen after test air or test gas has been
applied (only when “Meas. value hold on cal. is set to on) This value also sets the time for showing the trend representation
on the display after test air or test gas application after a sensor calibration is set.

4.2.8 Automatic Calibration (ACAL)


Automatic calibration enables a cyclic, time-based or remote controlled calibration (using the digital input) of the O2 sensor.
The ACAL can be globally switched on or off and can only be started from the main screen of the display.

When a 2 Point ACAL is set, a test gas bottle must be permanently connected and turned on.

Info
Make sure that the test air and test gas volume and flow settings needed for calibration are correct.
For systems with flow monitoring: The flow rates can be checked under
System Checks  O2 sensor check
For systems without flow monitoring: Check the flow rates through an external flow meter and adjust to
150 - 180 l/h via an external throttle valve.

4.2.9 Automatic Calibration Settings


Only when the ACAL is switched on, are the ACAL settings visible. The calibration method determines whether the ACAL
is carried out as a 1 point calibration only with test air (instrument air or ambient air) or as a 2 point calibration with test air
and test gas. Ambient air is preset to a fixed O2 concentration of 20.95% and this value is not shown nor can it be changed.
The ACAL can be started by:
Time: Time based start with set intervals in days and the corresponding time
Time + Digital Input: Same as “Time”, additionally a control voltage of 12-24V DC must be applied to the “calibration re-
lease” so that an automatic calibration can be started.
Digital Input: A control voltage of 12-24V DC must be applied to the “calibration release” so that an automatic
calibration can be started. If the control voltage is still present after the calibration has ended, the calibration will immediately
restart

5.2 Flow rates for Test Air and Reference Air


The systems are factory-set to the correct amounts of test air and/or reference air. The instrument air versions are
designed for an inlet pressure of 1-10 bar. With a higher inlet pressure of 6 bar, it is necessary to readjust the flow of
reference air and/or test air.
The flow rates for air should be in the following range:
Test air: 150l/h - 180l/h
Reference air: 30l/h - 40l/h

5.3 Adjusting Flow Rate (SME 53 with integrated Pneumatics)


In the instrument air version in the Safe Area housing with an integrated pneumatic unit, it is possible to adjust the
reference and test air at the electronic unit.
In this respect, the pump and instrument air versions are different:
 In the pump version ambient air is used. Only the flow rate of test air can be adjusted (Figure 29 - Adjust
flow of test air here - (pump version)).
 The instrument air version requires an external supply of clean, dry and oil free air (instrument air) Both flow
rates (test air and reference air) can be adjusted (Figure 30 - Adjust flow of test air and reference air
here -
(instrument air version)
In systems with integrated pneumatics unit, the flow rate of reference air can be seen in the menu actual measured
values.

5.7 Replacing the O2 Sensor

Warning Hot Surface

The probe may only be removed with heat-insulated gloves. Before removing the probe, always switch off the sup-
ply voltage to the electronic system. After removal, store the probe in a safe, protected place and wait until it has
cooled down below 35°C/ 95°F.

Note

An exchange of the measuring cell is only necessary if the cell is leaking (erratic or incorrect measured values).

Disconnect the wires in the connection head


and loosen the 2 allen screws, which hold
the inner parts of the tube. Pull off the thin
transparent reference air pipe from the entry
fitting at the connection box.

Pull out probe internal assembly carefully


(4-hole ceramic rod with signal measuring
wire, thermocouple element and heater)

Unscrew the 4 allen screws at the measuring


cell holder with flange and remove the
measuring cell.

Figure 35 - O2 sensor replacement

Clean the flange at the probe tube with fine sandpaper. Tighten the new measuring cell with a new metal gasket seal-
ing and four new screws at the measuring cell flange of the probe tube. Insert the probe inner parts and ensure that
the inner parts do not bind in the probe tube. Press the locking bolt against the spring, so that the inner parts assem-
bly is pressed against the measuring cell with enough spring tension.
Tighten locking bolt and connect wires as follows:

5.8 Exchange of Probe Inner Parts


Proceed as described in chapter 5.7 to dismantle the probe inner parts assembly. The exchange of the
thermocouple element is an exception, because this can be changed without dismounting the probe inner part as a
whole.

5.9 Exchange of Thermocouple Element


The thermocouple element is a covered thermocouple element with an Inconel-covering and a Ni-Cr-Ni
thermocouple. The thermocouple element is in one hole of the 4-hole-rod (beside the reference air tube).
Disconnect the thermocouple element at the probe connection box, pull it out and insert a new thermocouple
element. If the probe is very long, it may be necessary to pull out the complete probe inner parts assembly.

32 Doc.-ID: OXI-16052012-EN
Installation and Operation Manual OXITEC® 5000 Service and Maintenance

5.10 Exchange of Heating Element


Remove the probe inner part assembly, loosen the clamp, pull out the signal measuring wire and the thermocouple
and pull off the heater complete with ceramic support, from the 4-hole ceramic rod.
Assemble the new heater, if necessary with new ceramic support and new 4-hole ceramic rod.

Insert signal measuring wire (from the measuring sensor side) and thermocouple element (from the connection side);
assemble clamps and connection sleeves (for long probes).

Caution

The heater support has three drilled holes, which must correspond with three holes of the 4-hole ceramic rod. The
reference air flows through the medium hole, the thermocouple is fitted in the larger hole at the side and the third
(smallest) hole is for the signal wire. Make sure, that the tap of the signal wire lies in the depression of the heater
support.
After the insertion of a thermocouple in a new heater support, this hole will be sealed with cement. This avoids the
thermocouple touching the signal wire and causing a short circuit. If the heater support is changed, the hole of the
thermocouple in the heater support has to be sealed with cement after the insertion of the thermocouple as well.

5.11 Exchange of Signal Measuring Wire


The signal measuring wire has a specially shaped contact for taking the mV-value of the reference electrode of O2
sensor. It is possible that a small metal net is fixed on the signal measuring wire which has been pulled out. This net
has no effect on the function of the probe and it need not to be replaced.
The contact wire is pressed against the measuring cell by means of spring tension of the inner parts assembly. If
there is not enough spring tension or if the wire is broken, the mV-signal cannot be received any longer, and an error
signal will occur.

5.12 Exchange of 4-Hole Ceramic Rod


Depending on the length, the probe has one or more 4-hole rods. In the case of long probes, during assembly, one
has to ensure that the holes correspond to one another, so that installation can be carried out and the reference air
can be routed to the inner reference air side of the O2 sensor.

The digital inputs are designed for a direct voltage of 12 V - 24 V DC for logical “High”. Logical “Low” corresponds to
a voltage less than 1 V.

Digital input Function

Calibration release External release for calibration with ACAL

Measuring range switch Switching on the second measuring range

5.15 Stability Criteria for Calibration


During calibration, the cell is checked for stability. This check operates according to the following criteria.
The last measured value is always temporarily saved. When the next value is outside the tolerance, the internal timer
is reset and the new value temporarily saved. This means that if the timer was not reset, the value is stable. In this
way, the last measured value after the timer has elapsed (2 min.) is used to calculate the cell constant or slope.

5.16 Reaction Time of the mA Output


The reaction time of the mA output to a change of the O2 cell input voltage is less than 200 ms.

5.17 Extension Modules


As an option, the electronic unit is available with several interfaces (RS232, RS485, HART, Fieldbus). If one of these
options is ordered you will find a separate manual/specification for the respective interface together with the
shipment.

Common questions

Powered by AI

The ACAL (Automatic Calibration) feature allows the OXITEC® 5000 system to conduct a cyclic, time-based, or remote-controlled calibration, enhancing consistency and reducing manual interventions . For proper operation, it is essential to have the test gas bottle permanently connected and turned on during a 2-point ACAL, and make sure the flow settings are correct to avoid errors during calibration . The availability of a control voltage of 12-24V DC at the calibration release is necessary for starting automatic calibration .

The set delay time impacts the calibration process by dictating when the last measured O2 value is displayed and when the trend representation is shown on the display during and after air or gas application . A well-tuned delay ensures that transient variations or adjustments do not impact the perceived device output unnecessarily, thus enhancing the reliability of the displayed measurements as they stabilize . Proper configuration of this delay is crucial for maintaining consistency in data visualization and system performance .

O2 sensor calibration may fail due to inadequate reference air supply, incorrect test gas or test air flow settings, or if the process pressure is too high . Resolution involves correcting identified issues followed by a re-calibration which should rectify the sensor calibration failure . Ensuring the correct connection of sensor wires and proper flow of test gas is crucial in the troubleshooting process .

Failure to adhere to the proper wire and cable specifications during installation of the OXITEC® 5000 can result in improper electrical connectivity, potential short circuits, and system failures. Cable specifications include ensuring ambient temperature compatibility and correct wire sizing between 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm² . Non-compliance risks damaging system components and interrupting functionality, posing serious operational hazards .

When removing the OXITEC® 5000 probe for maintenance, it is crucial to ensure that the probe is handled with heat-insulated gloves due to operating temperatures between 150°C - 800°C which can cause severe burns . The supply voltage of the electronic system must be switched off before beginning the maintenance process, and the probe should be stored in a safe place to cool below 35°C before further handling .

Thermal stress caused by frequent shutdowns and startups of the OXITEC® 5000 system's probe can be mitigated by maintaining continuous operation even during temporary plant power-offs or process disruptions . This approach avoids repeated heating and cooling cycles which exert thermal stress on the probe components, thereby extending their product life and ensuring consistent performance .

Maintaining the probe installation horizontally in the OXITEC® 5000 system is significant for achieving the fastest possible response time during measurements . It is important to avoid vibrations greater than 2g during installation, ensure that the correct ambient temperature is maintained, and avoid any violations of the protection class requirements, which can affect the probe's functionality and lifespan .

The V-shield orientation affects how the probe interacts with the flue gas flow, influencing accuracy and efficiency of oxygen measurement. Correctly orienting the V-shield involves aligning it to face the oncoming flue gas, which can be achieved by rotating the filter head/assembly 360° to the desired position, then securing it with the Allen screw and counter nut . Proper orientation ensures optimal interaction between the probe and the gas flow, enhancing measurement precision .

Unauthorized conversion or modification of the OXITEC® 5000 system is prohibited to ensure safety and prevent accidents . Such modifications can interfere with the accurate measurement of oxygen concentration, potentially leading to incorrect readings and unsafe operations, especially given the high temperatures involved which can be explosive under certain conditions . Additionally, unauthorized changes can void warranties and technical support, increasing long-term operational risks .

In the OXITEC® 5000 system, improper flow rates during O2 sensor calibration, either high or low, can lead to errors in calibration. A flow rate below the required 150 - 180 l/h could result in insufficient air supply affecting calibration results, while a flow rate higher than expected could damage the sensor by introducing excess pressure or cause leaks . Monitoring and adjusting flow rates as required is crucial to maintaining system accuracy and sensor integrity .
