6 Functional safety (SIL)

POINTRAC 31 • 8/16 mA/HART - four-wire

43388-EN-131119

All parameters changed by the operator are marked automatically so

that they can verified in the next step.

For the verification the PIN must be entered first and a comparison of

two character strings must be carried out. The user must confirm that

both character strings are identical, this is used to check the charac-

ter representation and the communication channels. The verification

texts are provided in German and with all other menu languages in

English.
In a second step, all modified, safety-relevant parameters are listed,

which must all be confirmed. After this process is finished, the instru-

ment will be locked automatically and the safety function is guaran-

teed again.

Warning:

If the described process was not carried out completely or correctly

(e.g. interruption or voltage loss), the instrument remains in the

released and hence unsafe status.

Warning:

In case of a reset to basic settings, all safety-relevant parameters will

also be reset to default. Therefore all safety-relevant parameters must

be checked or readjusted.
