6.4 Recurring function test
According to IEC 61508.
OPTISWITCH 3100 C is qualified in mode A (overfill
protection) for use in measuring chains of stage SIL2
according to IEC 61508 (redundant, stage SIL3).
The following instrument combinations meet the requirements
according to SIL:
OPTISWITCH 3100 C
l Oscillator VBE60N
The recurring test according to IEC 61508 can be carried out
by pushing the simulation key on the oscillator or by briefly (>2
seconds) interrupting the cable to the sensor. The correct
