SIS Installations
Site acceptance
After installation and/or configuration, proper operation of the transmitter (including
verification of all configuration changes) must be verified. A site acceptance test is therefore
required. The proof test outlined in this document can be used for this.
6.3 SIS operation and maintenance
6.3.1 Proof test
The following proof test is recommended. If an error is found in the safety function, the
measuring system must be switched out of service and the process held in a safe state by means
of other measures. Proof test results and corrective actions taken must be documented at
http://www.rosemount.com/safety.
Note
For a valid result, always perform the proof test on the product that will be stored in the tank
while the device is in operation.
Note
Before every test, make sure you are connected to the correct transmitter by verifying QT/QS in
the model code on the label and your software version. Also verify that the serial number on the
label matches the one in your configuration tool. Make sure to enable write protection as soon
as you are finished.
Required tools: HART host/communicator and mA meter.
Note that prior to these tests, inspect the echo curve to ensure that no disturbing echoes
affecting the measurement performance are present.
