Safety features
The relay meets the following safety requirements:
} The circuit is redundant with built-in self-monitoring.
} The safety function remains effective in the case of a component failure.
} The correct opening and closing of the safety function relays is tested automatically in
each on-off cycle.
} The unit has an electronic fuse.

Function description


Single-channel operation: no redundancy in the input circuit, earth faults in the start
circuit and input circuit are detected.
} Dual-channel operation without detection of shorts across contacts: redundant input cir-
cuit, detects
– earth faults in the start and input circuit,
– short circuits in the input circuit and, with a monitored start, in the start circuit too.

Dual-channel operation with detection of shorts across contacts: redundant input cir-
cuit, detects
– earth faults in the start and input circuit,
– short circuits in the input circuit and, with a monitored start, in the start circuit too,
– shorts between contacts in the input circuit.

Automatic start: Unit is active once the input circuit has been closed.
