SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

These products are intended for use in safety applications.
All safety instructions relate exclusively to the analogue output signal (4­20mA). The products are certified to SIL2 (IEC 61508). The products software is certified SIL2 (IEC61508). The use of these products integrated in to safety-related systems is therefore possible.

Definition: Safety-instrumented system A safety-instrumented system executes the safety functions that are required to achieve
or maintain a safe status in a system. It consists of a sensor, logic unit/control system
and final controlling element.

A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) could be made of an analyzer (e.g. XTP 02 Concentration), a Safety rated logic Solver (e.g. safety relay or safety rated PLC) and a final element (e.g. valve, or alarm with defined response).

Definition: Safety function Defined function executed by a safety-instrumented system with the objective of achieving or maintaining a safe system considering a defined dangerous occurrence.

Example: XTP O2 concentration above or below a defined threshold.

2.1 Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
The international standard IEC 61508 defines four discrete Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) from SIL 1 to SIL 4. Each level corresponds to the probability range for the failure in a safety function. The higher the SIL of the safety-instrumented system, the higher the probability that the required safety function will work.
The achievable SIL is determined by the following safety characteristics:
· Average probability of dangerous failure of a safety function in case of demand (PFDAvG)
· Hardware fault tolerance (HFT) · Safe failure fraction (SFF)

Description:
The following table shows the dependency of the SIL on the average probability
of dangerous failures of a safety function of the entire safety-instrumented system
(PFDAvG). The table deals with "Low demand mode", i.e. the safety function is required a maximum of once per year on average.

The following table shows the achievable Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for the entire safety-
instrumented system for type B systems depending on the proportion of safe failures
(SFF) and the hardware fault tolerance (HFT). XTP and XTC units are considered Type B due to their complexity. Type B systems also include sensors and positioners actuators
with complex components, e.g. microprocessors (see also IEC 61508, Section 2).

DEVICE-SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Applications

The Hardware assessment of the XTP601 & XTC601 shall provide the safety instrumentation engineer with the required failure data as per IEC 61508.

The hardware of XTP601 & XTC601 satisfies the requirements in terms of functional
safety to SIL 2 in accordance with IEC 61508. The XTP601 & XTC601 is usable in safety applications to monitor limits.

3.2 Safety Function
The XTP601 & XTC601 are mainly used for user-defined threshold monitoring. The XTP601 Process Oxygen Analyzer was assessed against the following safety function: · Ability to detect oxygen presence within another gas stream and generate
a 4­20mA output.

XTP & XTC SIL Safety Manual
Warning See the "Settings" and "Safety characteristics" sections for the binding settings and conditions. These conditions must be met to fulfil the safety function.
When the safety function has been executed, safety-instrumented systems with no selflocking function should be brought to a monitored or otherwise safe status within the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). The MTTR is 168 hours.
For full product information refer to User Manuals 97313 & 97400.
3.3 Settings
After installation and commissioning (refer to User Manuals), the following parameter settings should be made for the safety function:
Safety parameters
Function Analog Output Select 4­20mA (NAMUR)
Protection against configuration changes After configuration, the menu access codes of XTP601 & XTC601 shall be changed so that the device is protected against unauthorized changes and operation.
Checking the safety function after installation After installation a safety function test must be carried out. Using reference gas, i.e. N2, 4mA must be measured at the analog output. For the test of the safety function it is fundamental to use a second reference gas with a defined proportion of oxygen. The results of the measurement must be within a range of ±5% (full span) of the expected result.
3.4 In case of faults
Fault The procedure in case of faults is described in the User Manuals.
Repair The defective product should be sent to a Michell Instruments Service Department with details of the fault and the cause. When ordering a replacement product, please specify the serial number of the original product. The serial number can be found on the nameplate.

3.5 Maintenance/Calibration

We recommend that the functioning of the XTP601 & XTC601 is checked at regular intervals of one year.

Check at least the following: Test the basic functionality of the XTP601 & XTC601 as described in the User Manual.

Checking safety
You should regularly check the safety function of the entire safety circuit in line with IEC 61508/61511.

The testing intervals are determined during the circulation of each individual safety circuit in a system. The recommended prove interval depends on the application but it should be at least once a year.

To detect dangerous undetected faults, the XTP601 & XTC601 analog output shall be checked with the following test:

To execute the safety proof test both tests (1 and 2) must be performed.

Proof test 1 consists of the steps described in the table below.

Step 1 2
3 4 5

Action
Bypass the safety PLC or take other appropriate action to avoid a false trip. Generate or simulate an alarm condition to force the product to go to the high alarm current output and verify that the analog current reaches that value.
Generate or simulate an alarm condition to force the product to go to the low alarm current output and verify that the analog current reaches that value.
Restore the loop to full operation.
Remove the bypass from the safety PLC or otherwise restore normal operation.

Proof test 2 consists of the steps described in the table below.

Step 1 2 3
4
5 6

Action
Bypass the safety PLC or take other appropriate action to avoid a false trip. Perform Proof Test 1.
Perform a 2-point calibration of the product. Perform a reference measuring with at least one measuring point between min and max concentration. You must use a calibration gas with a wellknown gas concentration. The expected result must have a tolerance of not more than 5%.
Restore the loop to full operation.
Remove the bypass from the safety PLC or otherwise restore normal operation.

This test will detect more than 90% of possible "du" failures in the product.

Should faults be detected, the product should not be used until completely rectified.

A.2 Engineering Safety Consultants Limited. London, UK Test Report extract
2.1 General This report provides a Prior Use Assessment of the Michell Instruments UK Ltd, XTP601 Process Oxygen Analyzer and XTC601 Binary Gas Analyzer, as defined in the Prior Use requirements in IEC 61511 (2nd Edition) Clause 11.5.3 and 11.5.4 [2] including an estimation of Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD), Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) and a review of the systematic capability as supporting evidence for avoidance and minimisation of systematic failures.

A Failure Mode Effects and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA) was conducted on the XTP601 & XTC601 to estimate the random hardware failure rate in order to assess suitability for use in a safety function with regards to the PFD and the architectural requirements in terms of Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT) and SFF, using the approach detailed in Route 1H in IEC 61508-2 [1].
2.2 Hardware Reliability Verification These devices will form part of the sensor element sub-system of a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) and thus an assessment was conducted to demonstrate its capabilities in terms of PFD. The remaining sensing, logic solver and final element sub-systems were excluded from the assessment, in order to allow for their PFD contributions, the devices were assessed against 20% of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 PFD band (e.g. SIL 2 band modified to 2.0E-03).
The analysis was based on the assumption that repairs would be carried out with a Mean Down Time (MDT) of 168 hours, a Proof Test Interval (PTI) of one year (8760 hours) and capable of revealing 100% of undetected failures.
The XTP601 Process Oxygen Analyzer was assessed against the following safety function: · · Ability to detect oxygen presence within another gas stream and generate a 4­20mA output.

The XTC601 Binary Gas Analyzer was assessed against the following safety function: · · Ability to detect target gas in another gas stream and generate a 4­20mA output.
Table 3 shows a summary of the results of the XTP601 & XTC601 based on the data provided and the assumptions given in this report. The full set of results for the hardware reliability verification is presented in Table 4.
