* One Arc Suppressor is needed for each relay across the coil (see page 4) 

- ** NC contact is rated at 10 amps 

## ~~**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 . . . These contactors are not point-of-operation guarding devices, as defined by OSHA regulations.** It is necessary to install point-of-operation guarding devices, such as safety light screens and/or hard guards, to protect personnel from hazardous machinery. **Failure to install point-of-operation guards on hazardous machinery could lead to serious injury or death.**

## ~~**Mechanical Installation**~~ 

Flush-mount (clearance for M3 hardware) or mount to 35 mm DIN rail. Contactor must be mounted inside an enclosure rated NEMA3, 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), ANSI NFPA79 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 (240V or less) being fed by small transformers (125kVA 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 ANSI NFPA70E for more information. 

To satisfy the requirements of Category 3 or 4 of ISO 13849-1 (EN 954-1) 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.** 

## **WARNING . . . Shock Hazard** 

**Always disconnect all power before making any wire connections.** Electrical installation and wiring must be made by qualified personnel and must comply with the NEC (National Electrical Code) and ANSI NFPA70E, ANSI NFPA79 or IEC 60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes. 

## **WARNING . . . Not for Use As a Stand-Alone Safety  Device** 

**1.  DO NOT connect E-stop switches, 2-hand-control switches, safety interlock switches, or similar devices directly to an individual contactor.** 

**2.  ALWAYS connect the NC contact of these contactors to the monitoring input of the EDM that controls it.** 

This Contactor does not have the circuitry required to perform a self-check. A single fault inside the unit or in external devices (like switches or E-stop buttons) can go undetected and create an unsafe condition. **Failure to properly connect these contactors to a Safety Device could result in serious injury or death.**
