Electromagnetic compatibility

Instruments in four-wire or Ex-d-ia version are designed for use in an

industrial environment. Nevertheless, electromagnetic interference

from electrical conductors and radiated emissions must be taken into

account, as is usual with class A instruments according to EN 61326-

1. If the instrument is used in a different environment, the electromag

netic compatibility to other instruments must be ensured by suitable

measures.

2.6 SIL qualification according to IEC 61508

The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of an electronic system is used to as-

sess the reliability of integrated safety functions.

For detailed specification of the safety requirements, multiple SIL

levels are specified according to safety standard IEC 61508. You can

find detailed information in chapter "

Functional safety (SIL)

The instrument meets the specifications of IEC 61508: 2010 (Edi

tion 2). It is qualified for single-channel operation up to SIL2. The

instrument can be used homogeneously redundant up to SIL3 in

multi-channel architecture with HFT 1.

2.7 Fulfillment of NAMUR recommendations

The device fulfills the requirements of the applicable NAMUR recom

mendations.

2.8 Environmental instructions

Protection of the environment is one of our most important duties.

That is why we have introduced an environment management system

with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro-

tection. The environment management system is certified according

to DIN EN ISO 14001.

Please help us fulfill this obligation by observing the environmental

instructions in this manual:
