September 2007 Introduction This chapter introduces you to the features and capabilities of the GE Sensing XMO2 Thermoparamagnetic Oxygen Transmitter. The following specific topics are discussed: • Basic Features - a brief discussion of the XMO2 Transmitter’s basic features and capabilities •...
Page 11
XMO2 provides automatic microprocessor-based atmospheric pressure compensation of the oxygen signal for these applications. • The XMO2’s modular construction means that the unit can be field-calibrated quickly and easily. Also, the plug-in measuring cell can be replaced with a pre-calibrated spare in just minutes.
Page 12
September 2007 Theory of Operation The XMO2 measures the concentration of oxygen in a gas mixture by utilizing the unique paramagnetic properties of oxygen. As its magnetic susceptibility is approximately 100 times greater than that of most other common gases, oxygen can be easily distinguished from these gases based on its behavior in a magnetic field.

Wind Generating Magnetic Field (Cooled) Thermistors Induced Gas Flow Induced Gas Flow Wind Receiving (Warmed) Thermistors Figure 1-2: Arrangement of the Thermistor Pairs A small portion of the sample gas flow is allowed to diffuse from the lower chamber into the upper chamber of the measurement cell.
Page 14
In addition to maintaining a constant oxygen bridge temperature, the XMO2 microprocessor compensates for any zero point shift in the oxygen bridge circuit output caused by background gas changes. Finally, the bridge circuit voltage is further adjusted for variations in background gas composition and/or atmospheric pressure by internal, microprocessor-based compensation algorithms.

Page 16
Flame Arrestor Flame Arrestor Figure 1-4: The XMO2 Transmitter The standard XMO2 transmitter maintains the measurement cell at an operating temperature of 45°C (113°F). An optional 60° (140°F) or 70°C (158°F) cell operating temperature is available upon request. Note: The 60° (140°F) or 70°C (158°F) cell operating temperatures should be selected only when necessary, as the higher cell operating temperature results in reduced sensitivity.
Page 17
Long Cables (optional) GE provides a standard 10 ft (3 m), 4-conductor, color-coded cable with each XMO2 to connect to the power input and the analog output. Optional cables are available in lengths up to 450 ft (137 m) as P/N X4(*), where * specifies the length in feet.

Wiring Modification Power 1. When connecting the line power, select the cable entry closest to the XMO2 chassis ground. 2. Use shielded cable* to connect the line power to the XMO2. Terminate the shield at the internal ground screw (see Figure 2-3 on page 2-7).
Page 24
September 2007 Grounding the XMO2 Before proceeding, the XMO2 transmitter must be properly Transmitter grounded. This can be done using either the external ground screw located on the outside of the enclosure or the internal ground screw located below the printed circuit board (PCB) inside the enclosure. To perform this task, proceed as follows: 1.
