Functional safety, safety integrity level (SIL)
In combination with the URS 60 / URS 61 safety control unit, NRG 16-60, NRG 17-60, NRG 19-60 and NRG
111-60 level electrodes are suitable for use with safety functions up to SIL 3.
They are each elements of a safety circuit up to a rating of SIL 3 as per EN 61508 in the SPECTOR
connect
system, and can transmit alarm notifications.
Combining them with accessories produces a type B subsystem. The technical and safety characteristics
in Fig. 4 are based solely on NRG 1x-60 level electrodes.

The CANopen interface is a “Black Channel” type, and can be ignored during calculation due to
the low failure rate of < 1FIT.

Check the safety function regularly
Check level electrode function at least once a year by bringing the system to the minimum water level
(T1 = 1 year), see page 51.
