WIKA Safety manual pressure transmitter, model S-20
14082128.02 06/2014 GB/D/F/E
WARNING!
The model S-20 is only suitable for pressure measurement in applications where the pressure values
change dynamically. The external supervisory logic unit must bring the plant to a safe condition if a low
alarm value occurs.
The user is obliged to design the entire safety function in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008. The safety function
can, at most, achieve the PL of the model S-20. The external logic unit must, at the very least, fulfil the same require-
ments with respect to EN ISO 13849-1:2008 as the model S-20.
Accuracy of the safe measuring function
The total safety accuracy is ±(2 % + 0.3 % drift/year).
The maximum measuring deviation, in addition to the accuracies stated in the data sheet, includes the following errors:
■ EMC
■ Temperature error
■ Long-term stability
2.6 Test to discover a signal drift
A check of the pressure transmitter for any possible drift behaviour must be carried out through the external logic
unit after powering up in the unpressurised state. It must be assumed that there are no errors in the instrument if the
following condition applies:
■ Zero offset less than 0.2 % of the nominal pressure
This test can be carried out either:
■ at each commissioning of the application in the unpressurised state
■ or in a time interval of a maximum of 12 months with the maintenance of the application.
