Appendix 1. Safety Instrumented Systems
Installation
WARNING
The contents of this appendix are cited from
exida.com safety manual on the transmitters
specically observed for the safety transmitter
purpose. When using the transmitter for Safety
Instrumented Systems (SIS) application, the
instructions and procedures in this section must
be strictly followed in order to preserve the
transmitter for that safety level.
A1.1 Scope and Purpose
This section provides an overview of the user
responsibilities for installation and operation of the
transmitter in order to maintain the designed
safety level for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
applications. Items that will be addressed are proof
testing, repair and replacement of the transmitter,
reliability data, lifetime, environmental and
application limits, and parameter settings.
A1.2 Using the Transmitter for
an SIS Application
A1.2.1 Safety Accuracy
The transmitter has a specied safety accuracy
of 2%. This means that the internal component
failures are listed in the device failure rate if they will
cause an error of 2% or greater.
A1.2.2 Diagnostic Response Time
The transmitter will report an internal failure within 5
seconds of the fault occurrence.
A1.2.3 Setup
During installation the transmitter must be setup
with engineering units parameters. This is typically
done with a handheld terminal. These parameters
must be veried during the installation to insure
that the correct parameters are in the transmitter.
Engineering range parameters can be veried by
reading these parameters from the optional local
display or by checking actual calibration of the
transmitter.
The calibration of the transmitter must be performed
after parameters are set.
A1.2.4 Required Parameter Settings
The following parameters need to be set in order to
maintain the designed safety integrity.
Table A1.1 Required Parameter Settings
Item Description
Burnout
direction switch
To specify if the output should go 21.6
mA or higher or 3.6 mA or lower upon
detection of an internal failure.
Write protection
switch
The write function should be
disabled.
A1.2.5 Proof Testing
The objective of proof testing is to detect failures
within the transmitter that are not detected by the
diagnostics of the transmitter. Of main concern
are undetected failures that prevent the safety
instrumented function from performing its intended
function. See table A1.2 for proof testing method.
The frequency of the proof tests (or the proof
test interval) is to be determined in the reliability
calculations for the safety instrumented functions
for which the transmitter is applied. The actual
proof tests must be performed more frequently or
as frequently as specied in the calculation in order
to maintain required safety integrity of the safety
instrumented function.
The following tests need to be specically executed
when a proof test is performed. The results of
the proof test need to be documented and this
documentation should be part of a plant safety
management system. Failures that are detected
should be reported to Yokogawa.
The personnel performing the proof test of the
transmitter should be trained in SIS operations
including bypass procedures, transmitter
maintenance, and company management of
change procedures.
