fuse in series to the safety out-
puts to reduce the risk of the
safety outputs contacts welding
(see outputs technical data).
- Never, in any situation,connect
spark quenching unit circuits in
parallel to safety outputs con-
tacts: the safety function would
no longer be guaranteed.
- Never, in any circumstance,
exceed the electrical ratings sta-
ted in the technical data table of
this manual.
INSPECTIONS AND
MAINTENANCE
The integrity of the module and of
all the connected devices must be
checked regularly according to the
risk evaluation of the plant, under
the complete responsibility of the
user. Regular inspections must be
performed repeating all the opera-
tions listed in the TEST & ACTIVA-
TION section.
In particular it is necessary to per-
form regular tests on board in
order to verify that the input devi-
ces are not faulted.
In the event of a switch-off of the
module or of the machine it is
necessary to repeat all the opera-
tions listed in the TEST & ACTIVA-
TION section in order to verify the
integrity of the external
device system.
The safety module doesn’t require
internal maintenance: it must be
periodically cleaned - with plant
and module powered off - together
with all the connected devices,
removing dust, liquids and conden-
sation.
APPLICATIONS
In Fig. 3 and 4 are shown the con-
nections of ESPE with 2 one-wire
outputs: the ESPE outputs are
connected to S11 and S22.
The negative supply terminal (A2)
of the module is connected to the
GND terminal of the power supply
source together with the negative
supply terminal of the ESPE.
The N.C. contacts of the external
contactors are monitored by the
START circuit: if one contact gets
broken, the safety outputs of the
module can not close any more
during the next START cycle.
The category of the application can
reach up to category 4 according
to the EN954-1 and EN13849-1
standards.
In Fig. 5 and 6 are shown the con-
nections of ESPE with 1 one-wire
output: the ESPE output is connec-
ted to S11 and S22 is short-circui-
ted to S11. The category of the
application can reach up to catego-
ry 2 according to the EN954-1 and
EN13849-1 standards.
In Fig. 7 and 8 are shown the con-
nections of ESPE with 2 two-wires
