2.5Additional Components
The safety parameters do not include external components such as burner controls or any other sensors and actors.
2.6Safety Values
The safety values have been determined by the use of a FMEDA with the following basic conditions:
•Component failure rates based on Siemens standard SN 29500, DIN EN 13611: 2011-12
and B10d values of manufactures where no other values are available.
•Specific load parameters, quality factors and an ambient temperature of 60 °C have been
used for the calculation.
•Failure models from DIN EN 13611 and additionally failure model drift have been used.
Under special circumstances short circuits have not to be assumed.
•Estimation of common cause factors β = 2% βD = 1%.
•The "Proof test interval" T1 is equivalent to the product mission or life time.
•The calculation of the safety probability values has been done with a lifetime of 10 years1.
•For redundant structures a diagnostic test interval of T2 = 120s has been defined.
•For redundant subsystems (HFT>=1) the SFF is > 90%, for subsystems without
redundancy (HFT=0) the SFF is > 99%
•The F200K is designed as one safety unit (PES). There is no separation within the
F200K electronic between safety and non safety related components by architectural
design.
•There is no difference between λs detected and undetected. All safe failures can be
assumed as safe undetected (λsu).

According to DIN EN 61508:2011 HFT > 0 requires complete redundancy, including sensors, actors and power sup-
plies. Nevertheless, a HFT=0 device may reach the safety integrity for the usage in SIL3 safety functions according
to DIN EN 61508 or DIN EN 61511 (see 2.4 Scope of Application).
3
SFF is relevant for elements, subsystems or systems in a complete safety loop. This device is always part of a com-
plete safety loop. A SIL calculation of a safety loop must be evaluated finally with the safe failure fraction of elements,
subsystems and the complete system. Nevertheless, the SFF of the device is given in this document for reference.
4
The MTTR is assumed with 8h for the calculation of PFD/PFH (exchange of the device). In practise, the devices will
be locked in the safe state until it is replaced.
5
An electronic safety device without wear which is certified for the usage in safety functions in high demand mode
can be used in low demand functions as well. Therefore the diagnostic test intervall must be sufficient. For F200K
this is given and the PDF
can be used for further calculations.

2 General Safety Instructions
2.7Life time
The mission time or life time of the device is 10 years.
In accordance with the DIN EN 61508 the life time is 8 to 12 years under normal operating
conditions, because electronic components are assumed to have a constant failure rate
λ through this period. After that period the failure rates of the components will increase
significantly with time (see "bathtub curve" for electronic components).
The life time of 10 years does not mean, that the device will become unsafe after this time
immediately. The extensive diagnosis of safety related components remains still active. DIN
EN 61508-2:2011 Note N3 gives the hint, that appropriate measures taken by the
manufacturer and plant operator can extend the useful lifetime.
The burner control is designed for 250.000 switching cycles with nominal switch loads. For
normal operation this is equal to 10 years of operation5. For industrial use with reduced loads
and a lower ambient temperature more switching cycles are possible.
Nevertheless, when the device stays in operation after the end of the life time, LAMTEC does
not guarantees the proper function and all calculated safety values become invalid.
5
Base on the switching cycles and the corresponding lifetime are EN 13611, DIN EN 298 and an overview from the
European Control Manufacturers Association (Afecor, www.afecor.org)

3 Installation and Commissioning
3Installation and Commissioning
For installing the device, check the instruction and installation manuals as well as valid norms,
standards and directives for the application (see also chapter 1.2 Standards and Directives).
WARNING!
Connect the device only to other components or devices which are suitable for this safety application.
WARNING!
The Appendix see chapter 7.2 Hints and requirements for installation, commissioning, operation and verification shall be considered properly. Check the installation requirements of IP40
or IP54 in the open air (EN 60529).
WARNING!
For the power supply of the flame detector and for potential separation of the flame detector
contact use the FN20 power supply. Instead of FN20 a safety power supply must be used to
generate the power supply of the flame detector (e.g. According to EN 61558-2-6 or
EN 60950-1).
WARNING!
Use a floating contact which is feeded by the flame detector's 24 V supply for the remote
switching of the F200K2's range. Or use a SELV or PELV power supply according to EN
60730-1 or EN 60950-1 (i.e. a safety power supply).
WARNING!
The current loop for remote indication of the flame intensity must be connected to devices
which have a safe isolation of the measuring circuit to dangerous active parts in accordance
with EN 61140 ( e.g. by double or reinforced isolation in accordance with EN 61010-1). This
can be, for example, passive instruments or isolating transformers with galvanic 3-way isolation.
WARNING!
Models F200K…IR… without line frequency rejection shall be mounted such that they can
only be removed from the mounting fixture by use of a special tool.
NOTICE
The cables are designed for a special temperature range. Do not open the devices in temperatures below -20 °C.
For the commissioning of the F200K please refer to the manual (Chapter 7).

3 Installation and Commissioning
3.1Verification
Check the safety functions to ensure the expected operation of the device before using it in a
safety related environment.
DANGER!
Appendix "7.2 B: Conditions" shall be taken into account in an appropriate way.
NOTICE
Checking the Flame Shut-down on Fault:
Simulate a flame rupture or flame extinction by shunting off the fuel supply to the burner to be
monitored by the flame detector. Check that the signal for shutting-off the safety valve is triggered off within the period of TS< 1 s (on safety period 'Operation' at tVOff = 1 s) after extinction of the flame.
'Red' LED lights
'Green' LED dark
For the IR compact flame detectors of the F200K1(2) IR-1 and/or F200K1(2) IR-2 types, take
into account the radiation effects characteristic of the combustion chamber. Consequently,
switch-off tests should be carried out when the boiler has reached operating temperature. In
particular, make sure that the sensitivity of the compact flame detector is increased only to
such a value required to safely and reliably monitor the flame throughout the operating range
of the burner.
