Description of the “safe state”
Output ≤ 3.6 mA or output ≥ 21 mA
Note 1: Depends on detection time in external controller. If detection time is xx seconds, the demand
rate shall be 100 times xx seconds.
Note 2: Simple device (type A) where microprocessors and software have no effect on safety output.

AVG
= Average Probability of Failure on Demand
PFH = Probability of dangerous Failure per Hour
Note 1: The ACT20X-(2)SAI-(2)HAO contains no lifetime limiting components, therefore the PFH figures
are valid for up to 12 years, according to IEC 61508.
