1.2 About this product
The Rosemount 2140:SIS Level Detector consists of a tuned fork with a driver and receiver
element, and integral interface electronics. The level detector is based on the principle
that the resonant frequency of a tuned fork changes when it is immersed in a liquid. The
frequency change is detected and used to switch an electronic output. The device output
is 4-20 mA.

2 Installation and commissioning
2.1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS) certification
For safety instrumented systems usage, the 4-20 mA analog output is used as the primary
safety variable. It is configured to activate the alarm function if an error occurs. The
Rosemount 2140:SIS may be used in high level or low level safety related applications.
The measurement signal used by the logic solver must be the discrete current levels set at
the instrument output used to indicate the sensor condition. A change in liquid level
through the switch point of the level detector results in the user configured discrete
current value being set at the output by the instrument. The HART® protocol must only be
used for setup, calibration, and diagnostic purposes, not for safety critical operation.
The Rosemount 2140:SIS is IEC 61508 certified to:
• Type B low-demand device
• SIL 2 @ HFT = 0
• SIL 3 @ HFT = 1
2.2 Safety certified identification
All Rosemount 2140:SIS Level Detectors must be identified as safety certified before
installing into SIS systems.
Procedure
1. Verify the model code starts with "2140F".
2.
Verify the software (SW) is V01.01.00 or later.

Refer to the Rosemount 2140 and 2140:SIS Product Data Sheet for the specifications and
Reference Manual for installation instructions.
2.4 Configuration
2.4.1 Hardware configuration for SIS applications
Alarm level switch
Under alarm conditions, the output current is forced to a high or low level beyond the
normal 4 mA to 20 mA operating range.
The Alarm Level hardware switch is set to a 'H' or 'L' position to determine if it is the high or
low alarm current. Figure 2-2 shows the Alarm Level switch inside the housing.
Read-only switch
The Read-Only hardware switch is set to the Locked position to prevent configuration
changes using the optional Local Operator Interface (LOI) or HART® interfaces.
Figure 2-2 shows the Read-Only switch inside the housing.

2.4.2 Software configuration for SIS applications
Sensor operating mode
The level detector has three sensor operating modes:
• Normal (default for Rosemount 2140)
— Sensor fault detection is not enabled. Do not select this option for SIS applications.
• Enhanced, Fault=Wet (default for Rosemount 2140:SIS)
— The level detector is forced to indicate a wet fork in a fail-safe state.
• Enhanced, Fault=Dry
— The level detector is forced to indicate a dry fork in a fail-safe state.
Sensor output delay
When there is a detected change in the condition of the fork, from wet-to-dry or dry-towet, the Sensor Output Delay parameter can action a delay of up to 3600 seconds before
the change of state is indicated. The default delay is one second.
Depending on the application, a suitable delay can prevent constant switching of the
output current. If, for example, there are waves in a tank, then there may be splashes
causing intermittently detected changes in process conditions. The sensor output delay
ensures that the fork is dry or wet for a suitable period before switching the output
current.
Media density selection
The level detector is capable of operating with liquid densities ranging from 400 to 1300
kg/m3. Use the Media Density Selection parameter to select a density range for the
process level application. Possible settings are shown in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1: Media Density Settings
Setting Range
0.4 – 0.6 SG 400 to 600 kg/m
0.5 – 0.9 SG 500 to 900 kg/m
0.8 – 1.3 SG 800 to 1300 kg/m

Sensor fault delay
When the level detector is operating in Enhanced Mode and detects a fork sensor fault, the
Sensor State parameter indicates a fault state after a delay.
The default setting is 5 seconds. It can be set to a value in the range 0 to 3600 seconds.
Note
When the level detector is operating in Normal mode, a fork sensor fault is not detected
and Sensor State continues to indicate a valid state.

Installation and commissioning Safety Manual
March 2021 00809-0200-4140
Current output operating mode
Options to select are:
• Dry on
• Wet on
The Sensor State variable uses these settings of "Dry on" and "Wet on" to associate with
when the Output State variable is indicating ‘on’ (1.0).
Configuration examples
Empty-vessel detector application
Figure 2-3 shows an empty-vessel detector application where a low level alarm can be
indicated by the output being switched on. This should also be the fail-safe state when a
fault occurs (dry=fault). The output switches off again when the liquid level rises and
immerses the fork.
Figure 2-3: Low Level Alarm ('Dry On' Configuration)
A. When configured to operate in 'Dry On' mode, the output switches 'on' when the liquid
level falls below the fork.

Application with a full-vessel detector and an empty-vessel detector
Figure 2-4 shows an application with a full-vessel detector and an empty-vessel detector.
Level alarms are indicated by a Rosemount 2140:SIS switching its output off. The topmounted level detector should be configured to have a fail-safe state of a wet fork
(wet=fault). The side-mounted level detector needs a fail-safe state of a dry fork
(dry=fault).
Figure 2-4: High and Low Level Alarms ('Wet On' and 'Dry On' Configurations)
A. The level detector is configured to operate in 'Dry On' mode. When the liquid level rises
above the fork, the system output is switched off.
B. The level detector is configured to operate in 'Wet On' mode. When the liquid level falls
below the fork, the system output is switched off.
Current output type
The current output can be configured to switch between standard instrument levels 8 and
16 mA and 4 and 20 mA. In addition, a custom mode is provided, where the user can
define, between 4 and 20 mA, custom current levels via the Custom On Current and
Custom Off Current parameters to indicate wet and dry conditions, dependent on the
setting of the Current Output Operating Mode.

AVG
3.1.3 Tools required
• HART host/communicator
• Current meter
• Safety logic solver
3.2 Comprehensive proof testing
Comprehensive proof-testing requires a different method to local and remote partial
proof-testing. It takes several hours to perform with all safety measures being followed.
3.2.1 Impact on SIF and process
In order to achieve the product safe state, the sensor must be either removed from or
immersed in the process medium, depending on the operating mode. The process cannot
be allowed to operate whilst the proof test is being performed.
3.2.2 Perform comprehensive proof test
The suggested testing consists of setting the output to a maximum and minimum, and
checking the sensor and associated analog output levels.
Procedure
1. Inspect the accessible parts of the level detector for any leaks or damage.
2.
Bypass the safety function and take appropriate action to avoid a false trip.
3. Using Loop Test, simulate the high alarm current output, and verify that the analog
current reaches that value.
4. Using Loop Test, simulate the low alarm current output, and verify that the analog
current reaches that value.
5. Change process conditions for the fork to experience the configured alarm
condition, and verify the analog output reaches the configured ‘off’ output current
within the expected time period.
See Transmitter response time for help with this.

required for fault detection and fault reaction).
Term defined by IEC 61508 as “part of a subsystem comprising a
single component or any group of components that performs one or
more element safety functions”

The safety function is only performed on demand, in order to transfer
the EUC (Equipment Under Control) into a specified safe state, and
where the frequency of demands is greater than one per year (IEC
61508-4).
The safety function is only performed on demand, in order to transfer
the EUC into a specified safe state, and where the frequency of
demands is no greater than one per year (IEC 61508-4).

Average Probability of Failure on Demand
Probability of dangerous Failure per Hour: the term "probability" is
misleading, as IEC 61508 defines a rate.
The effectiveness of a proof test is described using the coverage
factor which specifies the share of detected dangerous undetected
failures (λDU). The coverage factor is an indication of a proof test’s
effectiveness to detect dangerous undetected faults.
The maximum allowed deflection of the safety output due to a failure
within the device (expressed as a percentage of span).
Any failure causing the device output to change less than the Safety
Deviation is considered as a "No Effect" failure. All failures causing the
device output to change more than the Safety Deviation and with the
device output still within the active range (non-alarm state) are
considered dangerous failures.

Safety Instrumented Function
Safety Integrity Level – a discrete level (one out of four) for specifying
the safety integrity requirements of the safety instrumented
functions to be allocated to the safety instrumented systems. SIL 4
has the highest level of safety integrity, and SIL 1 has the lowest level.
Safety Instrumented System – an instrumented system used to
implement one or more safety instrumented functions. An SIS is
composed of any combination of sensors, logic solvers, and final
elements.
A measure (expressed on a scale of SC 1 to SC 4) of the confidence
that the systematic safety integrity of an element meets the
requirements of the specified SIL, in respect of the specified element
safety function, when the element is applied in accordance with the
instructions specified in the compliant item safety manual for the
element.
The time from a step change in the process until transmitter output
reaches 90% of its final steady state value (step response time as per
IEC 61298-2).
Complex device using controllers or programmable logic, as defined
by the standard IEC 61508.
Reliability engineering term that describes the operational time
interval where the failure rate of a device is relatively constant. It is
not a term which covers product obsolescence, warranty, or other
commercial issues.
The useful lifetime is highly dependent on the element itself and its
operating conditions (IEC 61508-2).
