Figure 15 - Example Connections to Safety Edges
Safety Outputs GSR safety relays have two types of outputs:
• Electromechanical (CI, DI, EM, EMD, and SI safety relays)
• OSSD (DIS safety relay)
To extend the operating life of the safety relays, surge suppression is required.
Electromechanical Outputs
Internally, the CI, DI, EM, EMD, and SI safety relays have two positive-guided safety relays that
are connected in series to form the safety outputs. One side of the contact must connect to a
voltage supply (see Specifications on page 77 for appropriate ratings). The other side of the
contact must connect to a load.

OSSD Outputs
The DIS safety relay has OSSD safety outputs on terminals 14, 24, 34 and 44. Output terminals
14 and 24 are pulse tested and can switch loads up to 1.5 A. They can only tolerate a load
capacitance up to 1.6 µF. Terminals 34 and 44 have a series diode and can switch loads up to
0.5 A. They can tolerate a load capacitance up to 9 µF. Terminals 34 and 44 are also pulse
tested, but these pulse tests are ignored as they are not used for short-circuit detection.
These terminals are intended for devices with high capacitance. For example, use terminals
34 and 44 when connecting to the Enable input of the PowerFlex® 70 drive and the Safe Torque
Off inputs of the PowerFlex and Kinetix® drives.
