17) SIL 2 Specific Unit Mounting Requirements
The sounder should be mounted no closer that 5m from a sounder source of similar SPL output. This is to ensure false tone activation does not occur
when the unit is monitoring the tone pulse duration and tone failure.
18) SIL 2 Reliability Data
Reliability and Functional safety IEC/EN61508 which has been assessed and is considered suitable for use in low demand safety function:
1.
Random Hardware Failures and Architectural constraints (route 1
H
)
2.
As an unvoted item (i.e. hardware fault tolerance of 0) at SIL 2
The product was assessed against failure modes:
•
Failure respond to an input with a correct tone.
•
Failure to respond to an input even with an alternative tone.
•
Spurious sound output despite no input.

19) Synchronised Operation
All D1xS1FDC024-S/D1xS1RDC024-S alarm horn sounders connected to the same power supply and set to the same alarm tone will provide a
synchronised output when activated.
