The switching contact output is connected to a fail-safe NAMUR amplifier (e.g. Fuchs KF**-
SH-Ex1). The failure rates of the amplifier are not included in the listed failure rates
4
The complete sensor subsystem will need to be evaluated to determine the overall Safe Failure
Fraction. The number listed is for reference only.
5
SIL AC (architectural constraints) means that the calculated values are within the range for hardware
architectural constraints for the corresponding SIL but does not imply all related IEC 61508 requirements
are fulfilled.
6
Depending on the application and possible external diagnostics a higher DC
D
and therefore also a
higher category might be possible to achieve.
7
The switching contact output is connected to a standard switching amplifier (e.g. Fuchs KF**-
SR2-Ex*.W). The failure rates of the amplifier are not included in the listed failure rates.
