The current Safety Manual for Functional Safety is available in German, English, French and Russian language. Le présent Safety Manual de sécurité fonctionnelle est disponible dans les langues suivantes: allemand, anglais, français et russe. Данное руководство по функциональной безопасности Safety Manual имеется на немецком, английском, французском и русском языках. VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire (8/16 mA)
2 Scope Scope Instrument version This safety manual applies to point level sensors VEGASWING 66 - Two-wire (8/16 mA) with SIL qualification Electronics module: • SG60HT-L Valid versions: • from HW Ver 1.0.0 • from SW Ver 1.1.0 The version "remote housing" is excluded!
≤ 3.6 mA ("fail low") • > 21 mA ("fail high") Prerequisites for operation • Instructions and restric- The measuring system should be used appropriately taking pres- tions sure, temperature, density and chemical properties of the medium into account. The application-specific limits must be maintained. VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire (8/16 mA)

• The instructions in chapter "Safety-related characteristics", para- graph "Supplementary information" must be noted • All parts of the measuring chain must correspond to the planned "Safety Integrity Level (SIL)" VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire (8/16 mA)
Time during which all internal diagnoses are carried out at least once Time between the occurrence of the event and the output of a fault signal. ISO 13849-1 was not part of the certification of the instrument. VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire (8/16 mA)

The safety-related characteristics must be calculated especially for the selected structure of the measuring chain using the stated failure rates. In doing this, a suitable Common Cause Factor must be consid- ered (see IEC 61508-6, appendix D). VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire (8/16 mA)
During parameter adjustment, the safety function must be considered Instructions as unreliable! If necessary, you must take other measures to maintain the safety function. The sensor must be protected against inadvertent or unauthorized modification! VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire (8/16 mA)
The manufacturer must be informed of the occurrence of a danger- ous, undetected error (incl. fault description). Electronics exchange The procedure is described in the operating instructions manual. Note the instructions for parameter adjustment and setup. VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire (8/16 mA)
