Delete a Protective Instrument Loop Sensor

IMPORTANT: Protective Instrument Loops must contain atleast one sensor, sensor group, and sensor system. If the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor that you want to delete is the only Sensor in the Sensor Group, then you cannot delete it.

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

Steps

1. Access the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group that is linked to the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor that you want to delete.

2. In the workspace, select the Sensors tab.

   The Sensors section appears, displaying a list of Sensors in the Sensor Group.

   

3. Select the button next to the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor that you want to delete.

   A message appears, asking if you really want to delete the Protective Instrument loop Sensor.

4. Select OK.

   The Protective Instrument Loop Sensor is deleted.

Results

• The voting architecture is changed to reflect the updated number of Sensors.
• The GE Digital APM system calculates the results for the loop again.
