SIL Certified Safety Manual
for E3 Modulevel
Model E3X-XXXX-SXX
Liquid Level
Displacer Transmitter
This manual complements and is intended to be used with the
Magnetrol
E3 Mod ulevel
®
®
Installation and Operating manual ( ulletin 48-635).
Safety Function
The HART
version of the E3 Modulevel
®
measure level and transmit a signal proportional to that level
within the stated safety accuracy of ±2% of span (or the
measured error published in I/O Manual 48-635, whichever
is greater). In addition, when continuous, automatic diagnos-
tics detect that the transmitter cannot perform this function,
the output will be driven to the customer-specified out-of-
range signal (i.e., 3.6 mA or 21 mA).
The E3 MODULEVEL is certified for use in low demand
level measurement applications.
Application
The HART
version of the E3 MODULEVEL level trans-
®
mitter can be applied in most process or storage vessels, bri-
dles, and bypass chambers up to the transmitter's rated tem-
perature and pressure. The E3 MODULEVEL can be used
in liquids, clean or dirty, light hydrocarbons to heavy acids
(SG=0.23 to 2.20) to meet the safety system requirements of
IEC 61508 (Edition 2.0, 2010).
Benefits
• Level protection to SIL 3 as certified by exida Certification
per IEC 61508.
• Level ranges from 14 to 120+ inches
(356 to 3048+ mm).
• Process temperatures to +850 °F (+454 °C) for non-steam
applications, +800 °F (+427 °C) for steam applications
• Process pressures to 5150 psi (355 bar).
• Continuous self-test with 22 mA or 3.6 mA fault indica-
tion fully compliant with NAMUR NE 43.
• IS, XP, and Non-Incendive approvals.
• Emission and immunity compliance to EN 61326.
• Two-wire, loop-powered transmitter for level,
interface, or density measurement.

    .• The only unsafe mode is when the unit is reading an incorrect level within the 4–20 mA range (> ±2% deviation). • MAGNETROL defines the faulted mode as one in which the 4–20 mA current is driven out of range (i.e., less than 3.8 mA or greater than 21.5 mA).

    7.1.4 Suggested Proof Test The suggested proof test for the E3 is described in the fol- lowing table. The end user must use calibrated equipment to measure the output in steps 3, 4, and 6. Step Action Bypass the safety function and take appropriate action to avoid a false trip. Use HART communications to retrieve any diagnostics and take appropriate action.

    Safety Integrity Function, SIF. Magnetrol cannot directly control the user life cycle of a SIF using this product but needs to have assumptions on how the product will be used.
  • Page 12: Safety Function Requirements

    Safety Function Requirements This section lists the Safety Function Requirements that specify what safety relevant functionality is to be performed for implementation of the safety integrity function and also to maintain the desired level of safety integrity. These requirements may also rule out particular functionality for SIF usage that could lead to designs that are difficult to vali- date for deterministic performance or safety integrity.

    Specific E3 MODULEVEL Values E3 MODULEVEL Product Model E3X-XXXX-SXX SIL 2 90.6% PFD avg Refer to FMEDA report Report: Lifetime of Critical Components According to section 7.4.9.5 of IEC 61508-2, a useful life- time, based on experience, should be assumed. Although a constant failure rate is assumed by probabilistic estimation method, this only applies provided that the useful lifetime of components is not exceeded.
