8.2.1 Safety function
Safety function for pressure transmitters
The safety function of SITRANS P refers to the measurement of pressures. An additional safety
accuracy of 2% of the measuring range (complete span) must be added to the application-
specific measuring error for an output current of 4 to 20 mA.
Total tolerance (safety function) = ± [application-specific measuring error + 2% safety
accuracy].
Pressure transmitter safety accuracy: the maximum effect of an uncritical individual error on
the measured value.
The diagnostics function will respond within 4 seconds in the worst-case scenario.
Note
Use of remote seals
If remote seals are used, the application-specific measurement error is the product of the
transmitter and remote seal measurement errors.
WARNING
Disregarding conditions for fulfilling the safety function
Disregard
can
result in a malfunction of the process plant or application, e.g. process pressure
too high, maximum level exceeded.
The binding settings and conditions are listed in the chapters "Settings (Page 140)" and
"Safety characteristics (Page 142)".
These conditions must be strictly observed in order to fulfill the safety function.
8.2.2 Settings
The following settings must be adhered to after installing and commissioning as per the
Operating Instructions:
Operation/configuration
While operating/configuring, ensure that the technical data of the pressure transmitter are
adhered to in their respective version.
