5.1 Powering up the standalone Rosemount 6888 Transmitter probe (without Rosemount 6888 Xi) Complete the following steps to power up the Rosemount 6888C Transmitter probe. Procedure 1. Apply AC line power to the transmitter. 2. Apply 24 Vdc loop power to the transmitter.
4-20 mA output is based on the default range of 0-10% O If there is an error condition at startup, an alarm message is displayed on the Rosemount 6888Xi. 5.3 Power up the Rosemount 6888C direct replacement probe (no electronics inside) with traditional architecture Rosemount 6888Xi Procedure 1.
Manual Power up 00809-0100-4891 January 2023 The analyzer probe takes approximately 45 minutes to warm up to the 1,357 °F (736 °C) heater set point. The 4-20 mA signal remains at a default value of 3.5 mA, and the O reading remains at 0 percent through this warm-up period. After warm-up, the probe begins reading oxygen, and the 4-20 mA output is based on the default range of 0 to 10 percent O If there is an error condition at start-up, the Rosemount 6888Xi displays an alarm...
