Functional safety

10.6 Maintenance/check

● The restrictor in the Y1 circuit may not be completely closed during operation.
● The auxiliary pneumatic power is free of oil, water and dirt in line with:
DIN/ISO 8573-1, maximum class 3
● The average temperature viewed over a long period is 40 °C.
● Fault rates are calculated on the basis of a mean time to repair (MTTR) of 8 hours.
● In case of a fault, the pneumatic outlet of the positioner is depressurized. A spring in the
pneumatic actuator must move the valve to the pre-defined, safe end position.
● A dangerous failure of the positioner is when the pressure outlet is not depressurized, or the
safety position is not reached, with a LOW level of maximum 4.5 V at the input for the safety
shutdown.
