system can be safely shut down using the

safety relay’s output signal switching contacts.

The UE48-3OS safety relay is used for:

electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE)

with monitored active output signal switching

device (OSSD): single-channel, dual-channel (in

accordance with EN 61

 

496-1), e.g. with the

following SICK devices: C2000, M2000, C4000,

M4000, S3000, S300

emergency stop pushbuttons (EN ISO 13

 

850):

single- or dual-channel, e.g. SICK ES21

safety interlocks (EN 1088): single- or dual-

channel, e.g. safety doors

safety circuits in accordance with EN 60

 

204-1,

e.g. for moving covers

and is suitable for connecting downstream of a

pressure mat as per EN 13

 

856, normally open,

in four-wire technology

2.3

Correct use

The UE48-3OS safety relay must be used only as

defined in section 2.2 “Applications of the device”.
It must be used only by qualified safety personnel

and only on the machine where it has been in-

stalled and initialised by qualified safety personnel

in accordance with the operating instructions. If

the device is used for any other purposes or modi-

fied in any way — also during mounting and instal-

lation — any warranty claim against SICK AG shall

become void.

2.4

General safety notes and protective
measures

Pay attention to the safety notes and

protective measures!
Please observe the following items in order

to ensure the correct use of the UE48-3OS

safety relay.

During the mounting, installation and

usage of the safety relay, observe the

standards and directives applicable in

your country.

The national/international rules and

regulations apply to the installation,

commissioning, use and periodic

technical inspection of the safety relay,

in particular:
– Machinery Directive
– Work Equipment Directive
– EMC directive
– the work safety regulations and safety

rules

Manufacturers and operators of the ma-

chine on which a safety relay is used are

responsible for obtaining and observing

all applicable safety regulations and

rules.

The tests must be carried out by qualified

safety personnel or specially qualified

and authorised personnel and must be

recorded and documented to ensure that

the tests can be reproduced and retraced

at any time by third parties.

The operating instructions must be made

available to the operator of the machine

where the UE48-3OS safety relay is used.

Product description

3.1

Structure and operating principle
of the device

The inputs on the UE48-3OS safety relay are

prepared for the connection of the control

switches or safety sensors listed in section 2.2

“Applications of the device”. The three enable

current paths are designed as safe outputs.

3.2

Device functions

The actuation of the sensor or the entry into the

ESPE’s protective field results in the opening of

the enable current paths. Manual or automatic

reset as well as external device monitoring are to

be implemented using external wiring as required

(see 5.4 “Reset” and 5.5 “External device

monitoring”).

In order to attain SIL3/PL e, connect the

external device monitoring!
In order to reach SIL3/PL e, an external

diagnosis with DC ≥ 99

 

% must be applied

(i.e. the external device monitoring must be

connected).
Please also read the notes in chapter 12

“Application examples”.

Mounting

Mounting only with enclosure rating IP54

or better!
The safety relay is only allowed to be moun-

ted in the control cabinet. The control cabi-

net must at least comply with enclosure

rating IP54.

=

Mounting in accordance with EN 50

 

274.

=

The modules are located in a 22.5 mm wide

modular system for 35 mm mounting rails as

per EN 60

 

715.

Electrical installation

Note:
All external switching elements and their wiring

must withstand an ampacity, maximal short-circuit

load of I

max

= 1000 A (according to EN 60

 

947-5-1).

Switch the entire machine/system off

line!

The voltage supply must satisfy the regulations

for extra-low voltages with safe isolation (SELV,

PELV) for overvoltage category II as per

EN 60

 

664 and EN 50

 

178.

Note:
The basic insulation of the components connected

to the safety relay must match the highest voltage

connected to the safety relay.
All circuits (and if necessary other EDM) must then

also be designed for the highest voltage level.

All connections, wiring and cable runs must

comply with the required category as per

EN ISO 13

 

849 und EN 62

 

061 (e.g. cables laid

with protection, individually sheathed cable with

screen etc.).

To protect the contact outputs on the UE48-3OS

and to increase the service life, the loads

connected must be equipped with, e.g., varistors

and RC circuits. Please also note that the selec-

tion of the arc suppression can increase the

total response time of the safety function. For

installation in environments of overvoltage

category III, external protection elements must

be used.

The output signal switching devices and the

external device monitoring (EDM) must be wired

in the control cabinet.

To prevent the welding of the contacts on the

built-in relay, an overcurrent protection device

with short-circuit protection (duty class gG) in

accordance with the related usage category is to

be selected and integrated into the enable

current paths (see Fig. 2, fuse F2/F3/F4).

sensor are to be connected between S11 and S12

or S21 and S22. A wire jumper is to be connected

between S11 and S31 (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).

5.4

Reset

Manual reset
The reset button (N/O contact) must be wired

between the terminals S33 and S34. The reset
button is to be installed outside the hazardous
area such that it cannot be pressed from inside
the hazardous area. When operating the reset

button, the operator must have full visual
command of the hazardous area. The reset is
monitored. For emergency switching off

applications, a manual reset is to be used.
Automatic reset
A wire jumper is to be connected between S33 and

S35.

5.5

External device monitoring

The external device monitoring for the actuators

integrated is only effective on reset. The connec-

tion of the N/C contacts for the contact elements

operated in series with the reset circuit provides

this external device monitoring.
