It is also not intended for use in environments exceeding its specified voltage or environmental operating parameters.

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 24V AC/DC
• Safety category: Category 1
• Output configuration: 1 normally open (NO) contact
• Connection type: Screw terminals
• Mounting: DIN rail

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical codes. The module is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within an industrial enclosure. Connect the power supply to the designated terminals and wire the safety inputs according to the specific requirements of your safety circuit. Ensure that the output contact is integrated into the machine control circuit to interrupt power in the event of a safety trigger. Always verify the wiring against the provided technical documentation before applying power to the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your safety application requires Category 1 compliance
• Ensure the 24V AC/DC power supply is compatible with your control cabinet
• Check that the single NO output is sufficient for your machine control logic
• Confirm that the screw terminal connection type meets your installation standards

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the module and its connections for signs of wear or damage. Perform periodic functional testing of the safety circuit to ensure the module correctly interrupts the control circuit when a safety event is simulated.
