2-Hand Safety Relay, Series ESM-2H2..
V1.1.0
ESM-2H2..
The arrangement of the two-hand buttons must be designed in accordance with the standard EN 574 such that accidental
actuation or simple bypassing of the safety function is excluded.
The ESM-2H2.. unit is provided for the connection of 2-hand push-buttons, with one normally open or one normally colsed
contact.
Figur 1 shows the wiring of the ESM-2H2.. with a 2-hand push-buttons:

Avoiding unintentional actuation or bypassing of the safety device
The arrangement of the two-hand buttons must be designed in accordance with the standard EN 574 such that accidental
actuation or simple bypassing of the safety function is excluded.
The operation of both buttons using one hand must be prevented by an adequate distance (at least 260 mm) or by a separa-
ting wall. Actuation using forearm, elbow, knee, hip or other parts of the body can be effectively prevented by a further inc-
rease in the distance between the two buttons, adequate distance from the floor and/or covers and/or separating walls.
Distance from the two-hand buttons to the danger area
It is necessary to maintain a minimum distance between the buttons for the two-hand circuit and the danger area on the
machine or plant so that, after the release of one or both buttons, the machine or plant can only be reached once the dange-
rous movement has been interrupted or completed. According to the standard EN 999, the distance is calculated with the
following equation:
S = (K · T) + C
S: Minimum distance from the nearest pushbutton (two-hand button) to the danger area.
K: Parameter in mm/s, derived from data on the approach speeds of the body or parts of the body, for two-hand circuits
1600 mm/s.
T: The overtravel of the overall system in seconds, that is the time from releasing the two-hand button to the end of the dan
gerous movement.
C: Additional distance in mm that based on entry into the danger area prior to the triggering of the safety device. For twohand
circuits this is 250 mm, this distance can also be set to 0 mm given an adequate cover on the buttons, however then S
must be at least 100 mm.
Example
The overtravel time for the entire system is 90ms. Then the above equation gives for the minimum distance:
S = (1600 mm/s · 0.09 s) + 250 mm
S = 144 mm + 250 mm = 394 mm
If a suitable cover is used, S can be reduced to 144mm (see above).
