Overview 5XNX Gas Detector Transmitter
2 Overview
IEC 61508 is a generic functional safety standard. Functional safety
is dened in this standard as “part of the overall safety relating to
the Equipment Under Control (EUC) and the EUC control system
which depends on the correct functioning of the E/E/PES1safety
related systems, other technology safety-related systems, and
external risk reduction facilities.”
A system is considered to be functionally safe if the random and
systematic faults do not kill or injure humans, pollute the environment,
and do not result in the loss of equipment or production.
A systematic fault is dened as a failure with a denite cause. A
random fault can happen at any time and the cause is unclear. The
terms fault and failure can be used interchangeably.
A Safety Integrity Level-certied system can detect the majority of
safe and unsafe failures. XNX is SIL 2 capable per IEC 61508. XNX
is SIL 3 capable in a redundant system per IEC 61508. Table 1 and
Tabl e 2 below outline a system’s safety integrity level in relation to
its average probability of failure to perform its design function on
demand and probability of dangerous failure per hour.

NOTE:
The XNX system is Type B. A Type B system uses controllers
or programmable logic per IEC 61508.
The XNX product consists of a main board, a personality board,
and a sensor.

This manual outlines the proof test procedure, a required operation
to maintain the XNX’s functional safety under low demand
applications.
In XNX output signals, only 4-20 mA is considered a safety function.
Other output signals are optional signals and are not part of the
SIL2 compliance.

*This rating is highest achievable SIL level the XNX, Searchpoint Optima Plus gas detection system can achieve as standalone safety devices. In more complex safety system the above values are the safety parameters of XNX and
Optima gas detection system required to determine the acceptance of the complete safety function (i.e., all safety parameters, safety architecture, etc.) as required by IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
**Denotes a proof test interval of one year.
3.1 Interval of Proof Testing
1-year interval proof test is required for XNX SIL compliance.
Perform the proof test once a year to comply with IEC 61508.
Section 6 Proof Testing Procedure outlines the actions that must
be completed for a proof test.
4 Fault Diagnostic Time Interval
XNX conducts approximately 30 diagnostics total on the main
board and personality board. These diagnostics occur at different
time intervals, with the longest interval at 24 hours. But when a
fault is detected, it is reported within 3 seconds. Refer to the XNX
Technical Manual for more information on diagnostics.

Proof Test 8Purpose of Proof Testing
5 Proof Test
5.1 Purpose of Proof Testing
A proof test is a periodic test to detect failures in the system so that,
if necessary, the system can be restored to an “as new” condition
or as close as practical to this condition.
5.2 Expected Outcome of Proof Testing
The following features are checked and adjusted if required
• current output at different levels (4.0 mA and 20.0 mA)
• verifying zero gas and span gas calibration current output
• verifying current output of warnings and faults
• simulating warnings and faults
• validation of the current output of zero gas and/or span gas
calibration (required if the current output of zero gas and/or
span gas calibration had to be changed)
5.3 Tolerance of Output Current Levels
The tolerance for the output current levels is ± 0.1 mA.
Example: If the procedure requires the current output to be 4.0
mA, the actual current reading at the controller end can range from
3.9 mA to 4.1 mA.
6 Proof Testing Procedure
6.1 Checking
The purpose of checking is to ensure the mA output meets the
expected levels. If the current does not meet the expected levels,
it will have to be adjusted. If, after completing 6 .1.1, 6 .1. 2 , and 6 .1.3,
the mA output does meet the expected levels, proceed to 6.3.
6.1.1 Force mA Output
1. Ensure the current can be measured at the controller end.
The current will be measured using the procedures outlined
in 6.1.1 to 6 .1. 3 .
2. From the Main Menu, select the Test Menu ( ).
CAUTION
The mA output set in this menu will revert to the normal operating
values when exiting the Test Menu. For more information on setting
the mA output levels for normal operation, see mA Levels in the XNX
Technical Manual.
3. From the Test Menu, select Force mA Output ( ).
The New mA Output screen shows the existing mA output in
the left column. The user can adjust the output by changing
the value in the column on the right.
Figure 1. New mA Output Screen
4. Ensure the current at the controller end is 4.0 mA. If the
current is not 4.0 mA, refer to 6. 2 .1 to adjust the output.
5. Repeat steps #2-4 to check the output of 20.0 mA.

Proof Testing Procedure 9Adjusting
6.1.2 Zero Gas mA Output
The procedure for zero gas is not applicable to the ECC O2sensor.
1. Apply zero gas to the sensor.
2. The current at the controller end should be 4.0 mA.
If the mA output is not at the expected level when applying
zero gas, perform a Zero Gas Calibration. Refer to 6.2.2 and
complete the procedure for a Zero Gas Calibration.
6.1.3 Calibration Gas mA Output
1. Apply calibration gas to the sensor.
2. The current measured at the controller end is related to the
percentage of gas applied.
Example: 100% of full gas concentration is equivalent to
20.0 mA. If 75% of the full scale gas concentration is applied,
the mA output should be 16.0 mA.
If the mA output is not at the expected level when applying
calibration gas, refer to 6.2.2 and perform a Zero Gas
Calibration and a Span Gas Calibration.
6.2 Adjusting
Perform the following procedures if 4.0 mA and 20.0 mA were
not measured at the controller end. If the correct currents were
measured, proceed to 6.3.
The current must be measured at the controller end in 6. 2 .1 and
6.2.2.
6.2.1 Calibrate 4.0 mA and 20.0 mA
1. From the Main Menu, select the Test Menu ( ).
2. Then select Force mA output ( ).
3. Adjust the current output in the column on the right until the
current at the controller end is 4.0 mA.
Figure 2. Adjusting Current
4. Once the new value is entered, use the switches to
move to the ‘3’ and select ✓to set the mA output.
If the 20.0 mA output was not equal to 20.0 mA, complete steps
#3-4.
6.2.2 Zero Gas Calibration and Span Calibration
The following section outlines the steps for calibrating the attached
XNX sensors. For calibration information for specic sensors, refer
to the XNX Technical Manual.
1. If using a compressed gas cylinder, push the calibration gas
ow housing onto the bottom of the sensor and apply the gas.
2. Access the Calibration Menu.
Figure 3. Gas Calibration Menu
NOTE:
The Gas Calibration Menu is for both Zero Gas and Span Gas
Calibration.
