Delete a Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group

IMPORTANT: Deleting a Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group also deletes all the associated Protective Instrument Loop Sensors. Protective Instrument Loops must contain atleast one sensor, sensor group, and sensor system. If the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group that you want to delete is the only Sensor Group in the loop, then you cannot delete it.

Note: Deleting a Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group alters the calculations of the loop. Hence, you may need to review the calculations again.

Steps

Access the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor System associated with the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group that you want to delete.
In the workspace, select the Sensor Groups tab.

The Sensor Groups section appears, displaying a list of Sensor Groups in the Sensor System.
Select the button next to the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group that you want to delete.

A message appears, asking if you really want to delete the Sensor Group.
Select OK.

The Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group is deleted.

Results

The Sensors that are linked to the Sensor Group are also deleted.
The voting architecture is changed to reflect the updated number of Sensor Groups.
The GE Digital APM system calculates the results for the loop again.
