3.  Mounting

3.1  General mounting instructions

Mounting: snaps onto standard DIN rails to EN 60715.

3.2  Dimensions

Device dimensions (H/W/D): 100 x 22.5 x 121 mm

4.  Electrical connection

4.1  General information for electrical connection

The electrical connection may only be carried out by  

authorised personnel in a de-energised condition.

Wiring examples: see appendix

To avoid EMC disturbances, the physical ambient and  

operational conditions at the place where the product is in-

stalled, must meet the provisions laid down in the paragraph 

"Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)" of DIN EN 60204-1.

5.  Operating principle and settings

5.1  Operating principle after the operating voltage is switched on

After the operating voltage has been applied, the internal functions and 

the condition of the safety relays will be tested by the fail-safe standstill 

monitor during the initialization phase. After this check, the inputs of 

the fail-safe standstill monitor will be evaluated. The cyclic frequency of 

the connected proximity switches is compared to a programmed limit 

frequency. If the value drops below the programmed frequency at both 

inputs, both safety relays are actuated and the enabling path is closed. 

If the limit frequency is exceeded at least at one input, the safety relays 

are disabled.

 If the programmed upper or lower limit frequency is exceeded, the 

frequencies of both proximity switches are compared. A divergence of 

over 30% will be considered faulty and signalled. The yellow LED is 

flashing (refer to ISD table).

Inputs

X1: input for proximity switch 1

X2: input for proximity switch 2

X3:  input for reset switch 

A rising (0/1) edge at X3 deletes all ascertained errors of the fail-

safe monitor and causes the relays to be switched off.

Outputs

(13/14, 23/24):  NO contacts for safety functions (enabling paths)

Additional transistor outputs Y1/Y2

Y1: Authorized operation; the enabling path is closed

Y2:  "Error"; if the fail-safe standstill monitor detects an error,  

Y2 is switched.

Note

The additional outputs Y1 and Y2 must not be integrated in the safety 

circuit. The feed cables of both proximity switches (power supply) must 

be laid so that in case of a wire breakage only one proximity switch 

is dead (star-shaped routing). According to EN ISO 13849-1, control 

category 3, an individual fault must not lead to a loss of safety.

6.  Set-up and maintenance

6.1  Functional testing

The safety function of the safety-monitoring module must be tested. 

The following conditions must be previously checked and met:

1. Correct fitting of the safety-monitoring module.

2. Fitting and integrity of the power cable.

6.2  Maintenance

In the case of correct installation and adequate use, the safety-monitor-

ing module features maintenance-free functionality.

A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following 

steps, is recommended:

• Check the correct fixing of the safety monitoring module

• Check the cable for damage.

Damaged or defective components must be replaced.

7.  Disassembly and disposal

7.1  Disassembly

The safety monitoring module must be disassembled in the de-ener-

gised condition only.

7.2  Disposal

The safety monitoring module must be disposed of in an appropriate 

manner in accordance with the national prescriptions and legislations.

8.  Appendix 1

8.1  Wiring examples

The application examples shown are suggestions. They however do not 

release the user from carefully checking whether the switchgear and its 

set-up are suitable for the individual application.

The wiring example refers to a closed safety guard and a voltage-free 

state. Inductive loads (e.g. contactors, relays, etc.) are to be  provided 

with suitable interference suppression circuitry.

Avoid laying proximity switch connection cables in areas where strong 

interference signals are present (e.g. frequency converters or cable 

leads from powerful electric motors); the utilisation of shielded cables 

may be necessary.
