The D5290S is a single-channel SIL 3 Relay Output Module designed for switching safety-related circuits in high-risk industries, compliant with IEC 61508:2010 Ed.2 up to SIL 3. It provides isolation between input and output contacts and is suitable for mounting on standard DIN-Rail or customized Termination Boards in Safe Area/Non-Hazardous Locations or Zone 2/Class I, Division 2 or Class I, Zone 2 environments.
Function Description:
The module operates in a low demand mode as a Type A module with a Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT) of 0. In its normal state, the relay module is energized, with a Normally Energized (NE) load. Upon an alarm or process request, the module de-energizes (safe state), thereby de-energizing the load. The D5290S offers three mutually exclusive monitoring circuits, selectable via DIP-switches:
- Line input monitoring: Enables DCS/PLC line monitoring functions, including pulse testing, without causing relay or LED flickering.
- Low voltage input monitoring: When enabled, the module presents a high impedance state to the control unit if the driving voltage falls below a specified threshold.
- Short circuit fault detection: Allows the DCS/PLC to detect short circuit faults within the module.
The D5290S provides two Normally Open (NO) contacts for the NE load and one Normally Closed (NC) contact for service purposes, enabling the switching of the NE load on both supply lines. The relay contacts are shown in the de-energized position in the function diagram, where terminals 13-21 and 14-22 are open, and terminal 13-15 is closed.

- Non-Repairable Unit: The unit cannot be repaired by the end user and must be returned to the manufacturer or an authorized representative for servicing.
- Cleaning: The enclosure should be cleaned only with a damp or antistatic cloth to avoid electrostatic hazards. Penetration of cleaning liquid must be avoided.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always de-energize the power source and disconnect terminal blocks before opening the enclosure in hazardous areas or when connected to live hazardous potential to prevent electrical shock and explosion hazards.
- Ensure proper installation and wiring according to national/international standards (e.g., IEC/EN60079-14).
- Connect an external protection (fuse or similar) according to the relay breaking capacity diagram to prevent relay contact damage.
- Avoid unauthorized modifications to the unit.
- Ensure conductors are well isolated to prevent unintentional connections.
- The relay output contact must be connected to loads not exceeding category II overvoltage limits.
