6.1 Overview
The temperature sensors in the SensyTemp TSP series can be used in applications according
to safety standards with the TTH300 transmitter or without a transmitter. Use the “CS” option
6.2 SensyTemp TSP temperature sensors with TTH300 transmitter
when ordering to select the safety version according to SIL Level 2.
The SensyTemp temperature sensor with built-in TTH300 transmitter generates a linear
temperature signal proportional to the connected temperature sensor (4 … 20 mA). All safety
functions refer strictly to the analog output signal.
The entire valid range for the output signal must be configured between min. 3.8 mA and max.
20.5 mA (factory setting).
Warning!
In safety mode, HART communication occurs only when write protection is activated. The
HART master must comply with the safety requirements of the customer application.
Alarm behavior and current output
When a critical error is detected, the configured alarm current is generated and fed to a
downstream logics unit, e.g., a DCS, which checks for overshoots of a defined maximum value.
There are two selectable modes for the alarm current:
• HIGH ALARM (high alarm, max. alarm current); this is the factory setting
• LOW ALARM (low alarm, min. alarm current)
The low alarm current can be configured in a range from 3.5 to 4.0 mA. The factory setting is
3.6 mA.
The high alarm current can be configured in a range from 20.0 to 23.6 mA. The factory setting is
22 mA.
In the following cases, a detected error is displayed independently of the configured alarm
current within the low alarm range:
• Runtime errors
• Memory error (non-volatile data, RAM, ROM)
After switching on or restarting the transmitter electronic unit, the minimum low alarm time
(LOW-alarm, startup time) is 10 to 15 seconds.
Warning!
To ensure accurate error monitoring, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
• The low alarm must be configured to a value of ≤3.6 mA.
• The high alarm must be configured to a value of ≥21 mA.
• The DCS must identify the configured high and low alarms as malfunctions, and the alarm
must be configured according to the desired setup.
Warning!
To ensure the current output is functioning properly, the terminal on the standard device must
be between 11 V … 42 V DC (Ex version: 11 V … 30 V DC).

Safety function
The DCS loop must be capable of providing the required voltage level when the current output
is running with the configured high alarm.
The device does not meet safety requirements under the following conditions:
• During configuration
• When write protection is deactivated
• With activated HART multidrop mode
• During a simulation
• During an inspection of the safety function
Warning!
The safety function for the device includes the basic device TSPxxx with built-in TTH300
transmitter. Information in the corresponding documentation must be taken into consideration.
The percentage of failures that do not place the device in a hazardous functional state is
provided by the SFF value.
Total safety accuracy
The value defined for the overall accuracy of the safety function for this device is ± 2% of the
measuring range.
The basic accuracy depends on the sensor model and can be found in the appropriate data
sheets.
Switch-on time and safety operating mode
After switching on the device, all safety-relevant errors are detected after 2 minutes in low
demand mode.
6.3 SensyTemp temperature sensors without transmitter
SensyTemp TSP temperature sensors without transmitter provide an output signal suited to the
sensor (resistance or thermocouple). For failure rates based on the FMEDA report, refer to the
section “Safety Engineering Parameters”. These failure rates must be taken into consideration
when connecting to certified transmitters acc. to safety standards.

Periodic checks
7 Periodic checks
7.1 SensyTemp TSP temperature sensors with TTH300 transmitter
Safety inspections
The safety function for the entire safety loop must be checked regularly in accordance with IEC
61508. The inspection intervals are defined when calculating the individual safety loops for a
system.
Users are responsible for selecting the type of inspection and the intervals within the specified
period. The PFD

is 1 year. For additional inspection intervals with corresponding PFD
chapter “Management Summary FMEDA”.
Inspections must be conducted in a manner that enables users to verify proper function of the
safety equipment in combination with all components.
One possible procedure for recurring tests to detect hazardous and unidentified device errors is
described in the following section. Some 99% of the “Du” errors in the transmitter electronic unit
are detected by this test.
Checking the safety function
To check the safety function of the device, proceed as follows:
AV value depends on the selected inspection interval. For the PFDAV values in
AV values, refer to the
1. Bridge the safety DCS or take other appropriate measures to ensure the alarm is not
triggered unintentionally.
2. Deactivate write protection (refer to the relevant operating instructions).
3. Set the current output of the transmitter to a high alarm value by using the DTM simulation
command (Diagnosis/Simulation/Current Output).
4. Check whether the current output signal reaches this value.
5. Set the current output of the transmitter to a low alarm value by using the DTM simulation
command.
6. Check whether the current output signal reaches this value.
7. Activate write protection (refer to the relevant operating instructions) and wait at least 20
seconds.
8. Restart by switching off the device.
9. Check the current output with reference temperature; set the LRV value (4 mA) and URV (20
mA) via 2-point calibration.
10. Remove the bridge from the safety DCS or use another method to restore the standard
operating mode.
11. After performing the test, the events must be documented and archived properly.
A suitable sensor simulator (PT100-simulator, Ref. voltage source) can be used to check the
transmitter electronic unit without sensor. Test the sensor according to SIL requirements for
customer applications. ABB temperature sensors are checked according to the quick check
(see next section).
