7.0 FUNCTIONAL SAFETY - DB1H
Introduction
The DB1H Sounder has been designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and harsh
environmental conditions. The marine grade alloy or stainless enclosures are for use offshore or
onshore, where light weight combined with corrosion resistance and strength is required.
The safety function of the Sounder is to provide a pre-determined audible warning sound when
required if the correct voltage is applied to the unit. The DC version of the Sounder is designed to
operate on a supply voltage tolerance of +/- 20%,
Under No fault (Normal) Operating conditions the DB1 Sounder will provide an audible warning
sound when required by the system.
Under fault conditions the failure mode of the Sounder is a failure to provide an audible warning
sound. For the failure rate associated with this failure mode please refer to the table below.
