8.0 Functional safety
Introduction
The DB4B Loudspeaker has been designed for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres and harsh environmental
conditions. The glass reinforced polyester enclosures are
suitable for use offshore or onshore, where light weight
combined with corrosion resistance is required.
The safety function of the Speaker is to provide an audible
warning when required.
Under No fault (Normal) Operating conditions the
DB4B Speaker will provide an audible warning sound
when required by the system.
Under fault conditions the failure mode of the Speaker
is a failure to provide an audible warning sound. For the
failure rate associated with this failure mode please refer
to the table below.
Assessment of functional safety
This Loudspeaker is intended for use in a safety system
conforming to the requirements of IEC61508.
UL has conducted a Failure Modes Effect and Diagnostic
Analysis (FMEDA) of the DB4B Loudspeaker against the
requirements of IEC 61508-2 using a Proof Test Interval
of 8760hrs.
The results are shown right and are based on Route 1
H
.
The Speaker is classed as a Type A device.
