PST 4 Introduction Validity of documentation This documentation is valid for the product PST 4. It is valid until new documentation is published. This operating manual explains the function and operation, describes the installation and provides guidelines on how to connect the product.
This gives advice on applications and provides information on special fea- tures. Safety Intended use The safety relay PST 4 provides a safety-related interruption of a safety circuit. The safety relay meets the requirements of EN 60947-5-1, EN 60204-1 and VDE 0113-1 and may be used in applications with Safety gates...
Note for overvoltage category III: If voltages higher than low voltage (>50 VAC or >120 VDC) are present on the unit, connected control elements and sensors must have a rated insulation voltage of at least 250 V. Operating Manual PST 4 18436-EN-06...
71-72, 81-82, 91-92 and 01-02 are closed. – The LEDs "CH.1 OUT" and "CH.2 OUT" go out. If the input circuits have already switched before supply voltage is applied, the PST 4 stops the plant being enabled, to prevent an automatic start-up in accordance with EN 60204 Pt 7.5.
PST 4 Operating modes Dual-channel operation with detection of shorts across contacts: Redundant input cir- cuit, PST 4 detects – earth faults in the start and input circuit, – short circuits in the input circuit, – shorts across contacts in the input circuit.
The power supply must comply with the regulations for extra low voltages with protect- ive electrical separation (SELV, PELV) in accordance with VDE 0100, Part 410. Ensure the wiring and EMC requirements of EN 60204-1 are met. Operating Manual PST 4 18436-EN-06...
In the event of an automatic start or manual start with bridged start contact (fault): The unit starts up automatically when the safeguard is reset, e.g. when the E-STOP pushbutton is released. Use external circuit measures to prevent an unexpected restart. Operating Manual PST 4 18436-EN-06...
Open the safety contacts (switch off output) and start the device again, so that the internal diagnostics can check that the safety contacts open correctly for SIL CL 3/PL e at least 1x per month for SIL CL 2/PL d at least 1x per year Operating Manual PST 4 18436-EN-06...
