Functional safety, safety integrity level (SIL)
In combination with the URS 60 / URS 61 safety control unit, the NRG 26-61 level electrode is suitable for
safety functions up to SIL 2.
It is an element of a safety circuit up to SIL 2 as per EN 61508 in the SPECTOR
connect system, and can
transmit alarm notifications.
When combined with the accessories, you will have a type B subsystem. The technical and safety charac-
teristics in Fig. 4 are based solely on the NRG 26-61 level electrode.

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 the limiter function of the level electrode at least once a year by bringing the system to the mini-
mum and/or maximum water level (T1 = 1 year), see page 46.
The test function is initiated on site using the rotary knob integrated in the terminal box, see page 50.
In addition, the test function can be initiated remotely on the URS 60 / URS 61 or the external URB 60
or SPECTOR
control operating units.
