Operating Instructions

Safety Contact Expansion ESM-ES3..

Correct use

The Safety Contact Expansion ESM-ES3.. in combi-

nation with any safety relay from the EUCHNER ESM 

series can be used to produce up to three additional 

safety paths per device. An existing system can thus 

be expanded practically indefinitely in a modular 

manner. Activation takes place via a safety contact 

of the safety relay; the ESM-ES3 provides monitor-

ing contacts for error monitoring. The devices can 

be used in systems up to safety category 4, PL e 

according to EN ISO 13849-1.
Before the device is used, a risk assessment must 

be performed on the machine, e.g. according to the 

following standards:

 

f

EN ISO 13849-1

 

f

EN ISO 12100

 

f

IEC 62061.

Correct use includes observing the relevant require-

ments for installation and operation, particularly 

based on the following standards:

 

f

EN ISO 13849-1

 

f

EN 60204-1

 

f

IEC 62061.

Important!

 

f

The user is responsible for the integration of 

the device in a safe overall system. For this 

purpose, the overall system must be validated, 

e.g. according to EN ISO 13849-2.

 

f

The device user must assess and document 

remaining risks.

 

f

If a data sheet is included with the product, the 

information on the data sheet applies.

Safety precautions

 WARNING

 

f

Installation and setup of the device must be 

performed only by authorized personnel.

 

f

Observe the country-specific regulations when 

installing the device.

 

f

The electrical connection of the device is only 

allowed to be made with the device isolated.

 

f

The wiring of the device must comply with the 

instructions in these operating instructions, 

otherwise there is a risk that the safety function 

will be lost.

 

f

It is not allowed to open the device, tamper with 

the device or bypass the safety devices.

 

f

All relevant safety regulations and standards are 

to be observed.

 

f

The overall concept of the control system in 

which the device is incorporated must be vali-

dated by the user.

 

f

Failure to observe the safety regulations can re-

sult in death, severe injuries and serious damage.

 

f

Note down the version of the device (see type la-

bel 

Vx.x.x

) and check it each time prior to setup. 

If the version changes, the use of the device in 

the overall application must be validated again.

Function

The Safety Contact Expansion ESM-ES3.. in com-

bination with a safety relay from the EUCHNER 

ESM series is designed for safe isolation of safety 

circuits according to EN 60204-1 and can be 

used up to safety category 4, PL e according to 

EN ISO 13849-1.
Terminal 

S11

 (DC 24 V control voltage) is connected 

with terminals 

S15

 and 

S16

 via the safety contacts 

of the safety relay. Starting the safety relay also 

activates the ESM-ES3... The safety relay discon-

nects the control voltage when the safety switch is 

operated, and the safety contacts of the ESM-ES3.. 

open immediately.
If a fault occurs in the ESM-ES3.., this is detected by 

the safety relay via terminals 

S23

 and 

S24

.

Independent operation without safety relay is 

not possible.

Mounting

As per EN 60204-1, the device is intended for in-

stallation in control cabinets with a minimum degree 

of protection of IP54. It is mounted on a 35 mm 

mounting rail according to DIN EN 60715 TH35.

Electrical connection

 

f

When the 24 V version is used, a safety transform-

er according to EN 61558-2-6 or a power supply 

unit with electrical isolation from the mains must 

be connected.

 

f

External fusing of the safety contacts must be 

provided.

 

f

A maximum length of the control lines of 1,000 m 

with a conductor cross-section of 0.75 mm² must 

not be exceeded.

 

f

The conductor cross-section must not exceed 

2.5 mm².

 

f

If the device does not function after setup, it must 

be returned to the manufacturer unopened. Open-

ing the device will void the warranty.

 

f

PE

 (protective earth) must be connected to termi-

nal 

S10

 on the AC 115/230 V variant. Wiring of 

the overall device is to be designed for 115/230 V.

Setup procedure

Notice

The items listed under 

Electrical connection

 must 

be observed during setup.

1. Wiring ESM-ES3..:

Wire the ESM-ES3.. with the EUCHNER safety relay 

according to your application (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).

2. Wiring safety relay:

Wire the safety relay according to the required 

Performance Level determined (see operating 

instructions for the safety relay).

3. Wiring feedback loop:

Wire the feedback loop as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.

4. Wiring power supply:

Connect the power supply to terminals 

A1

 and 

A2

 

(see Fig. 9).

Attention:

 Wiring only in de-energized state.

5. Starting the device:

Switch the operating voltage on.

Attention:

 If the 

Automatic start

 behavior is set 

on the safety relay, the safety contacts will close 

immediately.
If the 

Monitored manual start

 behavior is set, close 

the start button to close the safety contacts.
The LEDs 

K1

 and 

K2

 on the safety relay and on the 

ESM-ES3.. illuminate.

6. Activating safety function:

Open the emergency stop circuit by actuating the 

connected safety switch. The safety contacts of the 

safety relay and the ESM-ES3.. open immediately.

7. Reactivating:

Close the emergency stop circuit. If 

Automatic start

 

is selected on the safety relay, the safety contacts 

will close immediately.
If the 

Monitored manual start

 behavior is set, close 

the start button on the safety relay to close the safe-

ty contacts of the safety relay and the ESM-ES3...
