INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
XZR500 Series Oxygen Analyzers are designed to measure the oxygen content in
ue gases between 0.01% and 25% O2. They allow for the improvement of a boiler’s
performance, increasing equipment service life and surveying emissions, thereby
contributing to protecting the environment.
XZR500 Oxygen Analyzers can be used for several applications such as monitoring
combustion in power plants, incineration of industrial or domestic waste, incineration of
VOC, control of processes, etc.
Please read this manual carefully before starting up the analyzer. It is recommended
that you go through this manual again after the rst use to enable optimal use of the
XZR500.
1.1 System Description
1.1.1 Measurement Principle
Michell Instruments’ aim is to provide the best measurement solutions for any
given industrial process or laboratory application. In the case of oxygen control and
measurement we have developed a highly advanced and miniaturized oxygen sensor,
the MSRS. This innovative sensor is at the heart of the XZR500 analyzer. A key strength
of the MSRS is that it has a built-in metal reference, this means it can operate for very
long periods without any requirement for re-calibration against a reference gas. As a
result the XZR500 has very low lifetime costs compared to other oxygen analyzers.
In addition to providing reliable and hassle free operation, the MSRS also delivers
excellent accuracy, class-leading linearity and, due to its small size, has a superior
response speed.
The operating principle of the MSRS is explained in detail as follows:
1.1.2 Zirconia
Zirconia is a solid electrolyte. At high temperatures
it conducts oxygen ions. An electrochemical voltage
develops between the two platinum-plated surfaces
of the zirconia in contact with two dierent gaseous
oxygen partial pressure (Pp) atmospheres. This voltage
follows the Nernst equation, expressed as:
E = RT ln Ppmeas.
4F Ppref.
Figure 1
Zirconia Principle
where R and F are constants
E = Nernst voltage (V)
T = temperature (°K)
Pp = oxygen partial pressures

XZR500 User’s Manual
297137 Issue 8.1, January 2021
INTRODUCTION
By setting the oxygen reference pressure and measuring voltage E and temperature T,
you can deduce the oxygen partial pressure you want to measure.
The volumetric concentration (expressed here in O2 %vol.) is determined by the ratio
between the oxygen partial pressure (Ppmeas) and the atmospheric pressure (Ptot).
O2 %vol. = Ppmeas.
Ptot.
There is an optional ambient pressure sensor available for higher accuracy measurements.
1.1.3 The MSRS
Figure 2 The MSRS and its K Thermocouple
Unlike conventional “air reference” zirconia sensors the MSRS uses the equilibrium
status of an internal metal oxide to provide a reference. Therefore, this built-in metallic
reference sensor does not require any reference gas.
The MSRS is a very small cylinder, 3 mm in diameter and 10 mm long. A K thermocouple,
placed closed to the MSRS, measures its temperature with great precision. This design
leads to extremely high accuracy and very good resistance to thermal shocks. It also
increases the lifetime of the sensor.
1.1.4 XZR500 MSRS Assembly
The MSRS and its K thermocouple are placed inside an aluminum tube. The MSRS head
is attached to an assembly plate to allow for easier eld servicing, see Figure 3 below.

INTRODUCTION
1.2 General Remarks
The analyzer is made up of a measurement probe and a Control Unit.
1.2.1 Sensor Head and Probe
The semi in-situ arrangement consists of the following elements:
• Sensor head, containing MSRS, sensor furnace, cable connection &
calibration port.
• Probe, comprising of an inner and outer tube to allow ow of sample from
ue to sensor.
The sample gas is returned to the ue practically unchanged in composition and
condition. This is due to the very small amount of sample required to diuse into the
sensor furnace.
The gas ow is shown by the arrows in Figure 4 below. In this example, the stack is
vertical and the ue gas ow direction is upwards.
Using the Pitot tube eect, gases enter through the hole near the tip of the outer tube
and circulate in the space between the outer tube (25, 2) and the inner tube (23).
During this process the gases contact the sensor through diusion. They then ow into
the inner tube and to the ue via the bevelled edge.
The tubes are tted so that the bevelled edge of the inner tube and the holes of the
outer tube face in opposite directions.

INTRODUCTION
The XZR500 MSRS (5) assembly is placed perpendicular to the tubing system. The
XZR500 furnace (4) and the XZR500 MSRS (5) are placed inside a cast aluminum
enclosure which is made of two parts sealed with a 5 mm diameter viton O-ring. It is
dust proof and waterproof and can be mounted outdoors. The cable gland (17) is made
of brass.
The whole set is mounted on the stack with a steel ange which is welded on the
XZR500 outer tube. Michell Instruments can provide an optional mounting kit containing
a counter ange with threaded rods (if needed please refer to Appendix G).
All the gaskets (6, 7, 8 and 9) placed on the tubes are made of carbon ber.
A high temperature “gasket box” type device guarantees that the sealing head is airtight.
For dimensions of the measuring probe see Appendix D.
1.2.2 Control Unit
The Control Unit provides the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for the XZR500 analyzer.
It is housed in a metal case with a screen and three touch buttons to allow access to
menus. Inside there is a motherboard, a micro-controller and a display PCB. The output
signals and alarms are all accessed through the Control Unit.
Oxygen concentration is displayed on the screen as default and has one decimal
point as standard (a second decimal place can be requested as an option). Other
parameters available through the HMI are Furnace Temperature, Thermocouple Junction
Temperature, MSRS Voltage and Ambient Pressure (in mbars), if the optional pressure
sensor is ordered.
Conguration of alarms and output signals as well as calibration functions are all carried
out through the HMI of the Control Unit.
The digital display panel of the analyzer is shown in Figure 5 .

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 General Mounting Precautions
• Place the probe as close as possible to the process (without breaching
the ame front).
• Prevent ambient air from entering the stack upstream or at the probe
tapping point and interfering with the measurement. Make sure all the
gaskets are placed and tightened (Figure 4) , and tighten-up the SS plug
for calibration gas inlet ( Figure 4 (15)).
NOTE: The stainless steel plug – or any 1/8” sealing ferrule –
should be tightened up by hand and then tightened again using a
7/16” spanner, turning only 1/8th of a turn so as not to damage
the connection.
• Avoid placing the probe near cleaning devices or elements that create
vibrations and are liable to disturb the measurement.
• Voltage should be applied to the analyzer immediately after the instrument
is xed on the stack so that the furnace can start heating. This will avoid
condensation at cold points where dirt could aggregate and clog up the
probe tubes. For the same reason, we recommend leaving the analyzer
powered up 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• The part of the tubing situated between the stack and the probe head
should be very well insulated - or even heated. If necessary, Michell
Instruments can manufacture a complete insulating cover for the outside
part of the probe (optional).
NOTE:
Ceramic probes require special handling.
Please read the following note carefully.
Ceramic Probes:
Special care must be taken when handling ceramic probes due to their fragile
nature. Inspect the probes thoroughly before inserting into stack. If they
have been damaged in transit, contact your Michell oce or distributor
immediately and inform them of the situation. Take photographic evidence
of the damage to the probe, and of the packaging, on the day of delivery.
On insertion ensure that the probe does not impact with the side of the orice.
Once installed, it is not recommended to remove the probe. If removal is
unavoidable due to maintenance, then allow the probe several hours to fully
cool to ambient temperature and extract slowly.
Consideration for placement of the probe is essential. Avoid the ame front,
violently turbulent sections of the duct/ue, proximity to dampers, or where
falling refractory could strike the probe. Excessive vibrations must be avoided
as ceramic is a brittle material.
Incorrect handling or placement of the probe will invalidate the warranty.

tube and ange of the probe head together by secure nuts onto four bolts
on the counter ange.

4. Place the gasket onto the inner tube (f) and insert into the probe head
(e) (see Figure 8). Make sure the bevelled edge of the inner tube tip
faces the opposite direction to the gas inlet hole on the outer tube (c) as
shown below. There are three marks on the other end of the inner tube
to indicate the orientation of the bevelled edge (see Figure 12).

5. Place the locking ring (h) with the locking ring gasket (g), the rear nut
(i) and the inner tube gasket (j) accordingly on the rear of the probe
head. (See Figure 8)
6. Put insulation between process and the probe head if necessary.
If the back ush option is chosen, then the orientation
must be reversed. This is because the inner tube
becomes the inlet so any dust build up will happen in the
inner tube. When the back ush is operated, it clears the
tube more eciently.
