6 Safety-related characteristics
The failure rate of the electronics and the antenna system was determined by an FMEDA (Fail-
ure Mode, Effects and Diagnostics Analysis) acc. to IEC 61508. The number values are based
on an output current tolerance of max. 2 %.

this value correlates almost linearly to the operating time. It is only valid for the corresponding
selection circuit.

is the interval after which a periodically recurring complete function test (to check the safety function)
must be carried out.

PFH is valid for the stated Failure reaction time T

of the measuring system. This means that the failure
tolerance time of the complete system must be higher than T
