XZR200 User’s Manual

97337 Issue 4, July 2018

Safety

The manufacturer has designed this equipment to be safe when operated using the procedures

detailed in this manual. The user must not use this equipment for any other purpose than that

stated. Do not apply values greater than the maximum value stated.

This manual contains operating and safety instructions, which must be followed to ensure the safe

operation and to maintain the equipment in a safe condition. The safety instructions are either

warnings or cautions issued to protect the user and the equipment from injury or damage. Use

quali

ed personnel and good engineering practice for all procedures in this manual.

Electrical Safety

The instrument is designed to be completely safe when used with options and accessories supplied

by the manufacturer for use with the instrument. The input power supply voltage limit is 24 V ±10%.

Pressure Safety

The XZR200 is designed to be operated at atmospheric pressures. However, it is possible to measure

in the range 0 to 25% O

at pressures up to 5 barg (72.5 psig) without damage to the unit. The unit

will require calibration at the operating pressure and a separate pressure transducer feeding into

your control system may also be required.

Toxic Materials

The use of hazardous materials in the construction of this instrument has been minimized. During

normal operation it is not possible for the user to come into contact with any hazardous substance

which might be employed in the construction of the instrument. Care should, however, be exercised

during maintenance and the disposal of certain parts.

Repair and Maintenance

The instrument must be maintained either by the manufacturer or an accredited service agent. Refer

to www.michell.com for details of Michell Instruments’ worldwide of

ces contact information.

Calibration

The recommended calibration interval for the XZR200 is between one and three months. This

duration may be shorter or longer dependent on installation, application and customer preferences.

Safety Conformity

This product meets the essential protection requirements of the relevant EU directives.
