Customers using Servomex’s OxyDetect life safety oxygen monitor can now be further assured of its reliability, after the hardware recently attained Safety Integrity Level 2 certification.
Available as a hazardous or safe area version with updated communication relay and MODBUS options, the recently-launched OxyDetect offers a highly accurate oxygen measurement without the sensor deterioration that degrades the performance of traditional electrochemical sensors used in competitor detectors.
Safety integrity level (SIL) is a measurement of performance required for a safety instrumented function. It is defined as a relative level of risk-reduction provided by a safety function, or to specify a target level of risk reduction.
Matt Halsey, Product Manager – Process Oxygen, Zirconia & Oxygen Deficiency, said of the certification, “SIL is an internationally recognised assessment of reliability. The SIL rating corresponds to the probability that a safety function will work when required to do so. SIL 2 tells us that the hardware will be in a functional state if it is required to do its job.
