7.3 Special conditions for the safe use according to ATEX and SIL appli-
cations
Safety relevant parameters for the Gas Transmitters
Possible structures and acquirable SILs
The following table shows, which structure has to be selected, to fulfil the require-
ments of a special SIL.
LDM = Low Demand Mode
HDM = High Demand or Continuous Mode
Depending on the selected configuration and the sensor version, the following safe-
ty-relevant parameters have to be considered while implementing the safety loop:
General conditions for the safe use
- The application advice and the limitations of the manual have to be considered.
For calibration and maintenance, the regional and national regulations have to
be considered.
- A defect transmitter has to be repaired within 72 hours.
- The HART
®
interface is not allowed to be used for the transmission of safety re-
lated data.
- The alarm conditions of the transmitter must be periodically checked together
with the typical gas calibration checks.
- The relays must be energised under normal conditions.
