What is the function of this safety relay?

The safety relay is designed for monitoring safety functions such as emergency stop buttons and protective doors in a machine or plant. It ensures that these safety devices operate correctly and safely interrupt a machine's operation in the event of a hazard.

Can this safety relay be used for monitoring floating sensors?

Yes, it is suitable for monitoring floating sensors, which means it can evaluate signals from devices that do not have a direct electrical connection, such as certain types of emergency stop buttons or position switches.

What are the mounting options for this safety relay?

The relay can be mounted in any position and offers both screw and snap-on mounting options, making it versatile for different installation requirements.

What type of electrical connections does this safety relay support?

This safety relay is equipped with spring-loaded terminals, which allow for quick and secure connections without the need for additional tools.

What is the maximum operating frequency of this safety relay?

The maximum operating frequency of the relay is 1,000 operations per hour, which refers to the number of times it can reliably switch in and out within that period.

What is the insulation voltage rating for this safety relay?

The insulation voltage rated value for this safety relay is 300 V, which indicates the maximum voltage that the insulation can withstand.

What are the dimensions of this safety relay?

The dimensions of the safety relay are 22.5 mm in width, 120 mm in height, and 120 mm in depth, making it compact and suitable for installations where space is limited.

What is the thermal current rating for the switching element of this safety relay?

The thermal current of the switching element with contacts is rated at a maximum of 5 A, which is the current the relay can carry continuously without overheating.

Is this safety relay suitable for use in Class A environments?

Yes, it is suitable for Class A environments, which are typically non-residential and commercial areas. However, it may cause radio-frequency interference in residential environments, and appropriate measures should be taken in such cases.

What certifications does this safety relay hold?

The safety relay holds several certifications, including those from BG, SUVA, UL, CSA, and it complies with standards such as EN 60204-1, EN ISO 12100, EN 954-1, and IEC 61508.
