WIKA Safety manual pressure transmitter, model S-20
14082128.02 06/2014 GB/D/F/E
2.5 Description of the safety function and diagnosis
The safety function of the model S-20 is that the pressure transmitter converts the physical input parameter of pressure
into an electrical signal.
■
The model S-20 recognises the following error states

Table 2-2: Error detection
■
All failures detected are indicated as downscale alarm signals (low alarm values).
■
Undetected errors can generate an undefined output signal within or outside of the span range.
■
The alarm signal for over- or underpressure is triggered when the error condition exists uninterrupted for a minimum
of 10 seconds.
■
Errors which are checked cyclically are not permanently active, i.e. a reentry into measuring mode after exiting the
error range is possible during running.
■
Missing short-circuit resistance between signals in accordance with table 2-1: Parameters can lead to the destruc-
tion of the pressure measuring instrument. Short circuit leads to the loss of the safety function.
■
The external supervisory logic unit must bring the plant to a safe state if the alarm condition is entered.
