5. Lifetime Expectancy and MTBF

The redundancy module has two input channels completely independent from each other. Each control circuit,
auxiliary voltage source, or other circuitry is designed separately for each input. The dual input redundancy module
can be considered as two single redundancy modules combined together in one housing. The only common point
is the circuit trace that ties the two distinct sicruits together at the output.

The MTBF figures below are for the entire dual input module. If the MTBF number of only one path is needed, simply
double the value from the table.

*) The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by the lifetime

expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours and is calculated according to the
capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors only guarantees a maximum life of up to 15 years
(131 400h). Any number exceeding this value is a calculated theoretical lifetime which can be used to compare devices.

**) MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates reliability of a

device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product.

The MTBF figure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF figure of e.g. 1 000 000h means that
statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the field. However, it cannot be determined if the failed unit
has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.
