Maximum Reporting Times According to EN 50136-1:2012
The table provides an excerpt from the EN 50136-1:2012 standard and the A1:2018 addition to it.
The majority of predefined SLA options that a user can select for a virtual receiver are based on the categories set in this standard and the maximum reporting time limits defined for these categories.
SP stands for single-path, DP stands for dual-path transmitters. ATP stands for alarm transmission path.
Maximum Reporting Times for Single-Path Transmitters
| Limit name in the standard | Control interval name | SP2 category | SP3 category | SP4 category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary ATP Failure. Reporting time | Path reporting time | 25 hr (90 000 sec) | 30 min (1800 sec) | 3 min (180 sec) |
| Failure of all ATPs at the same time | Site reporting time (for SP, equals to the path failure reporting time) | 25 hr (90 000 sec) | 30 min (1800 sec) | 3 min (180 sec) |
Maximum Reporting Times for Dual-Path Transmitters
| Limit name in the standard | Control interval name | DP1 category | DP2 category | DP3 category | DP4 category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary ATP Failure. Reporting time | Primary path reporting time | 25 hr (90 000 sec) | 30 min (1 800 sec) | 3 min (180 sec) | 90 sec |
