1

The switching contact output is connected to a fail-safe NAMUR amplifier (e.g. Pepperl
& Fuchs KF**-SH-Ex1). The failure rates of the amplifier are not included in the listed
failure rates.

2

The number listed is for reference only. The SFF must be determined for the complete
subsystem.

3

SIL AC (architectural constraints) means that the calculated values are within the range
for hardware architectural contraints for the corresponding SIL level.

4

It is assumed that proof testing is performed with a proof test coverage of 99%.

The PFD

was calculated for profile 2 using the Markov modelling. The results must

be considered in combination with PFD

values of other devices of the Safety

Instrumented Function (SIF) in order to determine suitability for a specific Safety
