61508:2010 and enable a Safety Integrity Level of up to SIL 2 to be achieved for the instrument loop in a simplex architecture. Eaton Electric Ltd, Luton is a certified Functional Safety Management company meeting the requirements of IEC61508:2010 Part 1, Clause 6.
Specifically, the data sheet, instruction manual and applicable certificates for the particular product should be consulted, all of which are available on the MTL web site.

INTRODUCTION Application and function The Analogue Input module types MTLx541A/MTLx541AS (single channel) and MTLx544A/MTLx544AS (dual channel) are intrinsic safety isolators that interface with process measurement transmitters located in a hazardous area of a process plant. They are also designed and assessed according to IEC 61508 for use in safety instrumented systems up to SIL 2.

System configuration An MTLx54x module may be used in single-channel (1oo1) safety functions up to SIL 2. The worked example in this manual is for a SIL 2 application. The figure below shows the system configuration and specifies detailed interfaces to the safety-related and non safety-related system components.
Associated System Components There are many parallels between the loop components that must be assessed for intrinsic safety as well as functional safety. In both situations the contribution of each part is considered in relation to the whole. The MTLx54xA/MTLx54xAS modules are components in the signal path between safety-related process trans- mitters and safety-related control systems.
Systematic Safety Integrity The MTLx54x modules have a systematic safety integrity measure of SC 2. This has been established using compliance Route 1 , as described in IEC 61508-2: 2010, section 7 .4.2.2 c. SIL Capability Considering both the hardware safety integrity and the systematic capability, this allows the modules to be used in safety functions up to SIL 2 in a simplex architecture (HFT=0), provided SFF ≥60% is the case for the application.
The MTL4500 and MTL5500 modules are designed for operation in normal industrial electromagnetic environ- ment but, to support good practice, modules should be mounted without being subjected to undue conducted or radiated interference, see Appendix A for applicable standards and levels. Environmental The MTL4500 and MTL5500 modules operate over the temperature range from -20°C to +60°C, and at up to 95% non-condensing relative humidity.
MTL office. When appropriate, a Cus- tomer Incident Report (CIR) will be notified by Eaton to enable the return of the unit to the factory for analysis.
Appendix B: Proof Test Procedure, MTLx541A/AS, MTLx544A/AS Modules Confirmation, through testing, that a safety function will operate as designed, is a necessary periodic activity to ensure that the probability of failure upon demand (PFDavg) is maintained. In some applications, the user may prefer to conduct a proof test on the overall safety instrumented function without dismantling or disconnecting the individual instrumentation components, in order to avoid disturbing the integrity of the installation.

1 System - Normal operation test Make sure that the module to be tested is operating normally in the target system, without errors and in an energised mode. If the module is in a faulty or de-energised loop, restore normal fault-free and energised operation before testing.

Measurements Make the following measurements. It is recommended to record the results in a table such as that shown on the next page. 1. Adjust resistor RV1 to vary the loop current (measured by Ammeter A1) through the range 4 to 20mA. (Tests 1 - 5 in table) 2.
