USER'S MANUAL

Precaution for Safe Use

Indicates a potentially hazardous 
situation which, if not avoided, will 
resultin minor or moderate injury, or 
may result in serious injury or death. 
Additionally there may be significant  
property damage.

Meanings of Signal Words

The following signal words are used in this manual.

Alert Statements

Serious injury may possibly occur due to breakdown 
of safety outputs.
Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to the 
safety outputs.

Serious injury may possibly occur due to loss of 
required safety functions.
Wire G9SX properly so that supply voltages or 
voltages for loads do NOT touch the safety inputs 
accidentally or unintentionally.

Serious injury may possibly occur due to damages of 
safety inputs.
Apply protection circuitry against back electromotive 
force in case connecting inductiveloads to safety 
outputs.

Serious injury may possibly occur due to loss of 
safety functions.
Use devices appropriate for the application andthe 
condition where G9SX is used.

Indicates prohibited actions

Meaning of Alert Symbols

The following alert symbols are used in this manual.

Indicates mandatory actions

WARNING

WARNING

(1) Use G9SX within a enclosure with IP54 protection or higher of 

IEC/EN60529.

(2) Incorrect wiring may lead to loss of safety function.  Wireconductors 

correctly and verify the operation of G9SX before commissioning the 
system in which G9SX is incorporated. 

(3) Do not apply DC voltages exceeding the rated voltages, norany  AC 

voltages to G9SX.

(4) Use DC supply satisfying requirements below to prevent electric shock.

- DC power supply with double or reinforced insulation, for example, 

according to IED/EN60950 or EN50178 or a tranceformer 
according to IEC/EN61558.

- DC supply used satisfies the requirement for class 2 circuits or 

limited voltage/current circuit stated in UL 508.

(5) Auxiliary error output is NOT safety outputs.

Do not use auxiliary error output as any safety output.
Such incorrect use causes loss of safety function of G9SX andits 
relevant system.

(6) After installation of G9SX, qualified personnel should confirm the 

installation, and should conduct test operations and maintenance.
The qualified personnel should be qualified and authorized to secure 
the safety on each phases of design, installation, running, 
maintenance and disposal of system.

(7) A person in charge, who is familiar to the machine in which G9SX is to 

be installed, should conduct and verify the installation.

(8) Turn OFF the signal to Safety input or Logical AND connection input 

every 24hours and make sure G9SX operates without faults by 
checking the state of the ERR indicator.

(9) Do not dismantle, repair, or modify G9SX.  It may lead to loss of  its 

safety functions.

(10) Use only appropriate components or devices complying with relevant 

safety standards corresponding to the required level of safety 
categories. 
Conformity to requirements of safety category is determined as an 
entire system. 
It is recommended to consult a certification body regarding 
assessment of conformity to the required safety level.

(11) OMRON shall not be responsible for conformity with any safety 

standards regarding to customer's entire system.

(12) Disconnect G9SX from power supply when wiring, to prevent electric 

shock or unexpected operation.

(13) Be cautious not to have your fingers caught when attaching terminal 

sockets to the plugs on G9SX.

(14) The lifetime of G9SX depends on the conditions of switching of its 

outputs. Be sure to conduct its test operation under actual operating 
conditions in advance and use it within appropriate switching cycles 

(15) Do not use in combustible gases or explosive gases. Arcs or heat 

generated by switching elements of G9SX can lead to fire or 
explosion.

Precaution for Safe Use

(1) Handle with care

Do not drop G9SX to the ground or expose to excessive vibration or 
mechanical shocks. G9SX may be damaged and may not function 
properly.

(2) Conditions of storage

Do not store in such conditions stated below.

1) In direct sunlight
2) At ambient temperatures out of the range of -10 to 55

 

3) At relative humidity out of the range of 25 to 85% or under such  
    temperature change that causes condensation.
4) In corrosive or combustible gases
5) With vibration or mechanical shocks out of the rated values.
6) Under splashing of water, oil, chemicals
7) In the atmosphere containing dusts, saline or metal powder 

             G9SX may be damaged and may not function properly.
(3) Mounting

Mount G9SX to DIN rails with attachments (TYPE PFP-M, not 
incorporated to this product), not to drop out of rails by vibration etc. 
especially when the length of DIN railing is short compared to the 
widths of G9SX.

Precautions for Correct Use

(4) Following spacing around G9SX should be available to apply rated 

current to outputs of G9SX and for enough ventilation and wiring:

a) At least 25 mm beside side faces of G9SX.
b) At least 50 mm above top face of G9SX and below bottom face of 

G9SX.

c) At least 25 mm between side face of Advanced unit (G9SX- 

AD322-

-

) and side face of Expansion unit (G9SX-EX401-

 or 

G9SX-EX041-T-

).

(5) Wiring

1) For model G9SX-

Use the following to wire to G9SX-

.

- Solid wire: 0.2 to 2.5mm

2

 AWG24 to AWG12

- Stranded wire (Flexible wire): 0.2 to 2.5mm

2

 AWG24 to AWG12

Strip the cover of wire no longer than 7mm.

2) For model G9SX-

-RT (with screw terminals)

  Tighten each screw with a specified torque of 0.5 to 0.6N

m, or 

  the G9SX-

 may malfunction or generate heat.

(6) When connecting Expansion Units to Advanced Unit
     (TYPE G9SX- AD322-

-

):

1) Follow the procedure below:

a) Remove the termination connector from the receptacle on 

Advanced Unit (TYPE G9SX-AD322-

-

),

b) Insert the head of the connecting cable of Expansion Unit to the 

receptacle on the Advanced Unit 

c) Set the termination connector to the receptacle on the 

Expansion Unit at the end position. When Advanced Unit is used 
as without expansion units, leave the terminination connector set 
on the Advanced Unit.

2) Do not remove the termination connecter while the system is 

operating.

3) Before applying supply voltage, confirm that the connecting sockets 

and plugs are locked firmly.

4) All of the Expansion Units should be supplied with its specified 

voltages within 10s after the connected Advanced Unit is supplied 
with voltage.
Otherwise, Advanced Unit detects the power-supply error for the 
Expansion Units.

(7) Start entire system after more than 5s have passed since applying 

supply voltage to all G9SXs in the system.

(8) G9SX may malfunction due to electro-magnetic disturbances. 

Be sure to connect the terminal A2 to ground.

(9) Devices connected to G9SX may operate unexpectedly. 

When replacing G9SX, disconnect it from power supply.

(10) Adhesion of solvent such as alcohol, thinner, trichloroethane or 

gasoline on the product should be avoided. Such solvents make the 
marking on G9SX illegible and cause deterioration of parts.

(11) Do NOT mix AC load and DC load to be switched in one G9SX-EX-

.

When switching of both AC load and DC load is ncessary, connect 
more than two G9SX-EX-

 and use each unit for AC load and DC 

load exclusively.

(12)This is a class A product. In residential areas it may cause radio 

interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate 
measures to reduce interference.

In the condition shown in '5.Examples of Application' on this paper, 
G9SX can be used for the corresponding categories up to

 

category 

4 per EN954-1 and performance level(PL) up to e per ISO13849- 1.
This does NOT mean that G9SX can always be used for required 
category under all the similar conditions and situations.
Conformity to the categories must be assessed as a whole system.
When using G9SX for safety categories, be sure to confirm the 
conformity as a whole system.

For use of Safety category 4, fuses of 3.15A current rating should be 
connected to safety relay outputs to prevent welding of the contacts.
