Overview 4XNX Gas Detector Transmitter

2 Overview

IEC 61508 is a generic functional safety standard. Functional safety

is deﬁned in this standard as “part of the overall safety relating to the

Equipment Under Control (EUC) and the EUC control system which

depends on the correct functioning of the E/E/PES1 safety related

systems, other technology safety-related systems, and external risk

reduction facilities.”

A system is considered to be functionally safe if the random and

systematic faults do not kill or injure humans, pollute the environment,

and do not result in the loss of equipment or production.

A systematic fault is deﬁned as a failure with a deﬁnite cause. A random

fault can happen at any time and the cause is unclear. The terms fault

and failure can be used interchangeably.

A Safety Integrity Level-certiﬁed system can detect the majority of

safe and unsafe failures. XNX is SIL 2 capable per IEC 61508. XNX

is SIL 3 capable in a redundant system per IEC 61508. Table 1 and

Table 2 below outline a system’s safety integrity level in relation to its

average probability of failure to perform its design function on demand

and probability of dangerous failure per hour.

3.1 Interval of Proof Testing

If the XNX is used in high demand systems, a proof test is not required.

If the XNX is used in low demand systems (deﬁned as 1 demand or

less per year) a proof test is required. Perform the proof test once a

year to comply with IEC 61508.

Section 6 Proof Testing Procedure outlines the actions that must be

completed for a proof test.

XNX Universal Transmitter

Fault Diagnostic Time Interval 6Purpose of Proof Testing

4 Fault Diagnostic Time Interval

XNX conducts approximately 30 diagnostics total on the main board

and personality board. These diagnostics occur at different time

intervals, with the longest interval at 24 hours. But when a fault is

detected, it is reported within 3 seconds. Refer to the XNX Technical

Manual for more information on diagnostics.

5 Proof Test

5.1 Purpose of Proof Testing

A proof test is a periodic test to detect failures in the system so that,

if necessary, the system can be restored to an “as new” condition or

as close as practical to this condition.

5.2 Expected Outcome of Proof Testing

The following features are checked and adjusted if required

• current output at different levels (4.0 mA and 20.0 mA)

• verifying zero gas and span gas calibration current output

• verifying current output of warnings and faults

• simulating warnings and faults

• validation of the current output of zero gas and/or span gas

calibration (required if the current output of zero gas and/or

span gas calibration had to be changed)

5.3 Tolerance of Output Current Levels

The tolerance for the output current levels is ± 0.1 mA.

Example: If the procedure requires the current output to be 4.0 mA,

the actual current reading at the controller end can range from 3.9 mA

to 4.1 mA.

Proof Testing Procedure 7Checking

6 Proof Testing Procedure

6.1 Checking

The purpose of checking is to ensure the mA output meets the

expected levels. If the current does not meet the expected levels, it

will have to be adjusted. If, after completing 6.1.1, 6.1.2, and 6.1.3, the

mA output does meet the expected levels, proceed to 6.3.

6.1.1 Force mA Output

1. Ensure the current can be measured at the controller end.

The current will be measured using the procedures outlined

in 6.1.1 to 6.1.3.

2. From the Main Menu, select the Test Menu ( ).

CAUTION

The mA output set in this menu will revert to the normal operating

values when exiting the Test Menu. For more information on setting

the mA output levels for normal operation, see mA Levels in the XNX

Technical Manual.

3. From the Test Menu, select Force mA Output ( ).

The New mA Output screen shows the existing mA output in

the left column. The user can adjust the output by changing

the value in the column on the right.

Figure 1. New mA Output Screen

4. Ensure the current at the controller end is 4.0 mA. If the current

is not 4.0 mA, refer to 6.2.1 to adjust the output.

5. Repeat steps #2-4 to check the output of 20.0 mA.

6.1.2 Zero Gas mA Output

The procedure for zero gas is not applicable to the ECC O2 sensor.

1. Apply zero gas to the sensor.

2. The current at the controller end should be 4.0 mA.

If the mA output is not at the expected level when applying

zero gas, perform a Zero Gas Calibration. Refer to 6.2.2 and

complete the procedure for a Zero Gas Calibration.

6.1.3 Calibration Gas mA Output

1. Apply calibration gas to the sensor.

2. The current measured at the controller end is related to the

percentage of gas applied.

Example: 100% of full gas concentration is equivalent to

20.0 mA. If 75% of the full scale gas concentration is applied,

the mA output should be 16.0 mA.

If the mA output is not at the expected level when applying

calibration gas, refer to 6.2.2 and perform a Zero Gas Calibration

and a Span Gas Calibration.

6.2 Adjusting

Perform the following procedures if 4.0 mA and 20.0 mA were not

measured at the controller end. If the correct currents were measured,

proceed to 6.3.

The current must be measured at the controller end in 6.2.1 and 6.2.2.

6.2.1 Calibrate 4.0 mA and 20.0 mA

1. From the Main Menu, select the Test Menu ( ).

2. Then select Force mA output ( ).

3. Adjust the current output in the column on the right until the

current at the controller end is 4.0 mA.

4. Once the new value is entered, use the switches to move

to the ‘3’ and select ✓ to set the mA output.

If the 20.0 mA output was not equal to 20.0 mA, complete steps #3-4.

6.2.2 Zero Gas Calibration and Span Calibration

The following section outlines the steps for calibrating the attached

XNX sensors. For calibration information for speciﬁc sensors, refer to

the XNX Technical Manual.

1. If using a compressed gas cylinder, push the calibration gas

ﬂow housing onto the bottom of the sensor and apply the gas.

2. Access the Calibration Menu.
