## Overview 

Contactors can take many forms, thought the most common in a safety circuit are forced-guided, mechanically linked relays. The mechanical linkage between the contacts allows the device to be monitored by an external monitoring circuit for certain failures. 

Depending on the application, the use of contactors can facilitate controlling voltage and current that differs from the output signal switching device (OSSD) outputs of the safety devices. Contacts can also be used to control an additional number of hazards by creating multiple safety stop circuits. 

WARNING: • Not a stand-alone point-of-operation guarding device • This Banner Engineering Corp. device is not a stand-alone point-of-operation guarding device, as defined by OSHA regulations. Failure to install point-of-operation guards on hazardous machinery can result in a dangerous condition that could lead to serious injury or death. • Install point-of-operation guarding devices, such as safety light curtains and/or hard guards, to protect personnel from hazardous machinery.

## Mechanical Installation 

Flush-mount (clearance for user-supplied M3 hardware) or mount to 35 mm DIN rail. The contactor must be mounted inside an enclosure rated NEMA 3, IEC IP54, or better. 

## Electrical Installation 

As the contactors can interface to a multitude of machine control configurations, it is not possible to give exact wiring instructions for the output contacts. The following guidelines are general in nature. 

Installation and wiring must be made by qualified personnel and must comply with the NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA79 or IEC 60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes.

Mechanically Linked Contactors 

- WARNING: • Risk of electric shock • Use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock. Serious injury or death could result. • Always disconnect power from the safety system (for example, device, module, interfacing, etc.), guarded machine, and/or the machine being controlled before making any connections or replacing any component. Lockout/tagout procedures might be required. Refer to OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, or the applicable standard for controlling hazardous energy. 

- • Make no more connections to the device or system than are described in this manual. Electrical installation and wiring must be made by a Qualified Person[(3)] and must comply with the applicable electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA 79, or IEC 60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes. 

Since the contactors can switch high levels of energy, the user must consider and prevent the possibility of arc flash hazards. Arc flash can release dangerous amounts of heat and blast energy. When using low-voltage equipment (240 V or less) being fed by small transformers (125 kVA or less) the potential hazard is small, but the risk increases with higher voltage or larger transformers. The contactors may be required to be located in such a manner that minimizes arc flash hazards. Refer to NFPA70E for more information. 

NOTE: Placing a surge suppressor on the coil of a contactor reduces the make and break surge current, which reduces the arc of the contact controlling the coil. 

To satisfy the requirements of Category 3 or 4 of ISO 13849-1 and Control Reliability (OSHA/ANSI), one normally closed mechanically linked (forced guided) contact from each contactor must be monitored by the External Device Monitoring (EDM) function of the safety device. When redundant contactors are used, this will enable the detection of a failure, such as a welded contact, and prevent successive machine cycles. It is the user’s responsibility to monitor the contactors’ normally closed contacts, to ensure that any single failure will not result in a hazardous condition and will prevent a successive machine cycle.
