Systech Instruments Model ZR893 Instruction Manual
SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 PREFACE
The ZR893 continuous oxygen monitor is an electro-chemical oxygen analyser using a high
purity, high density stabilised zirconia ceramic.
The zirconia tube is held in its own heated furnace and the resulting voltage signal generated
by the zirconia is antilogged and displayed in direct oxygen concentration on a high visibility
LED display panel.
The instrument is capable of reading between 0.5 ppb to 100% and is autoranging. The
concentration is displayed in parts per billion, parts per million and percent.
The ZR893 oxygen monitor can exist in a number of standard variations and these are
covered in this manual.
The instrument has however been designed in such a way that sub-variations to customer’s
specific requirements may be provided. Where these have been included, the data sheet
has been appended.
We are always trying to improve our product, of which this manual is part and so we would
greatly appreciate any information you can give us of any difficulties you may encounter.
IMPORTANT
Please read this manual- at least part 1 before attempting to install or operate the equipment.
The sample gas is heated to 650oC and therefore no combustibles should be present
at a limit to cause an explosion.
The equipment should be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with good
standard practice and at the correct voltage. (Refer to the voltage tag label on the back of the
instrument).
No responsibility is accepted by Systech Instruments

for accidents resulting from improper use of this equipment.

4.7 PRINTING RESULTS WITH THE ZR893
Manual Printing
The third column of the OPERATORS mode allows the instantaneous printout of the results
of an analysis to be printed out on any printer that is connected to the ZR893.
The printout shows the time and date of the printout and also the oxygen span and zero.
At the end of the printout it shows whether it was a timed or a manual printout.
Timed printing
The ZR893 can be programmed such that the instrument automatically prints out every few
minutes.
The automatic printout can be set as follows:
1) Enter the SET-UP mode. The timed printout set up can be found on the fifth row of
the SET-UP mode.
2) The dot matrix screen should display the message PRINT MINS and a number the
number relates to the number of minutes between printouts. To program in a new
number type in the number using the number pad and press ENTER to log it into
memory.
3) The timed printout is now set, to return to the OPERATORS mode press the ENTER
key.
4) If you wish to turn off the timed printout follow the steps above and on the PRINT MINS
screen type in zero and press ENTER. The instrument will not do a timed printout.

U.K.
1.4 INSTALLATION
The ZR893 is operated from AC line power either 230V + 10% 50Hz or 115V + 10% 60Hz.
The voltage range to which the instrument is set is marked on the rear panel and should be
checked before power is connected.
The IEC standard cable supplied should be connected to a captive plug with an integral earth
connection and wired as follows:
Brown to Live
Blue to Neutral
Green/Yellow to Earth
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE REAR OF THE INSTRUMENT IS

ALLOWED SUFFICIENT VENTILATION FOR HEAT DISSIPATION FROM THE
FURNACE.

U.K.
1.5 SAMPLE SYSTEM
The analyser requires little or no sample system with the exception of a pressure regulator to
reduce high pressure streams to below 7 barg or a sample pump for streams below 0.25
barg.
If the sample stream is dirty or wet, both solid material and moisture need to be removed
from the sample stream to ensure reliable and accurate results.
A suitable filter and knockout pot can be supplied by Systech.
Metal tubing is recommended for the sample lines, especially if the instrument is being used
for measuring trace levels.
Hard plastics, such as nylon, Teflon or PVC may be used for measurements in the high ppm
or percent regions.
The use of rubber or soft plastics is not recommended as they may leak and lead to
inaccurate measurements.
On permanent installations, where the process stream is situated at great distance from the
analyser, it is advisable to use the bypass loop flowmeter to provide an up to date sample at
the analyser.

U.K.
SECTION TWO: USING THE INSTRUMENT
2.1 START-UP
1. Ensure that the pressure of the sample line (and calibration gas if used) is between
0.25 and 7 bars gauge. If not, either a pump or reducing value should be fitted. When
installation requires these extra sample handling components, and the expected
oxygen concentration in the sample is less than 100ppm, these components should
be high integrity - leak tight.
Contact Systech for further information.
The sample outlet should not be taken to a point other than atmosphere pressure.
2. Connect the gas lines to the bulkhead connectors.
3. Check the flow through the instrument, the flow should be between 100-200cc/min.
The sample flow meter is located on the front panel of the instrument and the float
indicates the present flow through the cell.
4. The power switch is mounted on the IEC receptacle situated at the back of the
instrument. The switch should be depressed to the ON position. When this is done,
the instrument will light and the dot matrix display will show the message NOT
READY, since the instrument cannot produce accurate readings until the sensor is at
the proper operating temperature. Pressing ENTER at this stage will stop the NOT
READY flashing on the screen. The instrument takes 20 minutes to reach operating
temperature, although it is advisable to allow 35 minutes for the Instrument before any
analysis is done. If in doubt check the furnace temperature located in the
OPERATORS mode. However, if the instrument is measuring trace oxygen
levels, it is advisable to allow the instrument a couple of hours to stabilise to the
correct reading. When the furnace and zirconia cell are at equilibrium temperature,
and all the ‘pockets’ of high oxygen have been swept out of the system.

U.K.
2.2 INSTRUMENT OPERATION
The ZR893 is controlled entirely through an alphanumeric display and keypad.
There are two basic modes of operation. The first is the OPERATORS mode and this is the
normal everyday running mode. When the instrument is in this mode, the oxygen
concentration is displayed on the dot matrix screen.
When the instrument is first turned on and it has heated to the correct operating temperature,
the micro-processor automatically leaves the user in this mode.
The other mode of operation is the SET-UP mode and this has access via a password which
allows limited access in this mode to stop unauthorised tampering.
These modes access grid information and the display may be thought of as a small window
which can scan over a much larger page of information. The window can be moved up or
down, left or right. When the window is at the edge of the page, a message warns that you
cannot go further. (TOP LIMIT, BOTTOM LIMIT, LEFT LIMIT, RIGHT LIMIT).

The ENTER button is for switching between modes. So to enter the SET-UP mode press the
ENTER button and the instrument will ask for a password. Enter the password and press
enter twice to go into the SET-UP mode.
To leave the SET-UP mode press the ENTER button again and you will be returned to the
OPERATORS mode.
Note: On receiving the instrument it will not have a password in memory and
pressing ENTER twice will allow entry to the SET-UP mode.
For more information on setting password please see Section 2.6.
The CE button
The CE button will clear any typing errors that have been made whilst trying to type a number
in allowing the correct number to be input.
The ENTER/TEST button
This button will log into memory any number that has been typed using the number pad.
The DATA button
This button allows us future expansion, and at the moment this button is not in use and
nothing will happen if it is pressed.
The LED display
This shows the instantaneous reading of oxygen, and the display will also show whether the
sample is in the percent, ppm, or ppb range.

U.K.
4.2 SETTING THE ANALOGUE OUTPUTS (OPTION)
The analogue outputs provided are voltage (0-10V & 0-100mV) and current (4-20mA or
0-20mA), all isolated and configurable over the complete oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen
ranges.
All the settings for the analogue outputs are found in the first row of the SET-UP MODE.
The first window contains the oxygen low setting and this can be entered in percent or vpm
using the keypad. The next window to the right contains the oxygen high settings and this is
set in the same way.
The analogue output may be programmed over any range, 0-1ppm, 0-2ppm, 0-24.6ppm,
even though the display of the analyser may at times be outside this range.
Some users may want to programme the analogue output over a number of ranges, i.e.
0-1ppm, 0-5ppm, 0-10ppm, 0-1000ppm and in conjunction with a series of contact closures
on the rear panel will know which range the analyser is operating.
See the programming section for further information.

4.4 ALARM OUTPUT OPTIONS
If the instrument has been fitted with the alarms option, they may be used to provide a
visual/audible warning of when a reading has gone over a pre-defined level.
Refer to the programming section.
4.5 SETTING THE ALARMS
Enter the SET-UP mode by pressing the ENTER key, then type in your password or press
ENTER twice if no password has been input.
The alarm set-up windows are situated in the second row of the SET-UP mode.
The first three columns deal with ALARM 1, the next three columns ALARM 2 etc so on. The
instrument has 4 alarms when fitted.
The first column allows ALARM 1 to be set as either O2 or FAULTS and this is done by
pressing the ENTER key until the correct one is shown on the dot matrix screen.
The instrument faults that will initiate the FAULT alarm are:
i) thermocouple open circuit (a temperature control fault)

ii) high temperature
iii) low temperature
The high and low temperature faults relate to the internal zirconia furnace. Normally this
furnace will run at 650oC but if it is too high or low this may effect the reading.
The second column allows ALARM 1 to be set as a high alarm or a low alarm, and the
preference for HI/LO is set by pressing enter until the required one is displayed on the dot
matrix screen.
The third column sets the actual value in ppm or % and this is entered by the keypad. Press
enter to log it into memory. So, for example, setting ALARM O2, HI, 20% means that the
alarm will warn when O2 goes higher than 20%. The other alarms are set in the same
manner.
N.B. To set the alarm to 1 vpm from 1% 0.0001 must be typed in via the keypad and enter

4.6 USING A PRINTER
When the instrument is fitted with the print option it comes with both a RS232 serial port and
a parallel printer port. This interfaces are both situated at the back of the instrument next to
the IEC receptacle. Once the printer is plugged into one of the instruments ports it must be
configured such that:
Baud 9600
Bits 8
Parity DISABLED
Handshaking DTR
Line Feed ON.
this applies to both serial and parallel printers.

The cabling (RxTx Connections) for the parallel cabling should be pin to pin.
i.e RxTx Conns: 1 - 1
2 - 2
3 - 3
4 - 4
5 - 5 etc.
The serial cable requires that the 5 & 20 pins should be crossed as displayed below.
