Intended use Combined with the safety relay, safeCAP SC30 ensures safety-related release and interruption of a safety circuit. safeCAP SC30 is used to protect people from work machines with dangerous closing movements. safeCAP SC30 is tested with the following safety relays: MCR 225, 3SK1, 3RK3 and PNOZ s6.
According to this calculation, the relay has to be replaced after 9.3 years. For other relays, values such as B or T can be specified. These values are not considered here and can be requested from CAPTRON. safeCAP SC30 7/25 Original operating instructions...
General description safeCAP SC30 safeCAP SC30 is equipped with two LEDs. The green LED (1) lights up when it is ready for operation. The yellow LED (2) lights up when actuated. Storage Conditions safeCAP SC30 -30°C (-22°F) to 80°C (176°F) Safety relay SCR3-3SK1 -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176°F)
An improperly assembled or non-functional two-hand control device can result in death or life-threatening injuries. Select mounting surfaces for the safeCAP SC30 based on the dimensions and spacing specified in DIN EN ISO 1385:2019. Protect safeCAP SC30 against unintended actuation, for example SCP-6.
Install safety relay 3SK1 (optional) More detailed information can be found in the supplier documentation. Connect safeCAP SC30 to safety relay 3SK1 The lines between safeCAP SC30 and the safety relay must be laid separately of other signal paths or live lines.
Disconnect the system from its voltage supply. ► Connect safeCAP SC30 to the safety relay using a 6-pin M 12 cable according to the circuit diagram. The optional cables LKW 60-5 (5 m) / LKW 60-10 (10 m) or LKG 60-5 (5 m) / LKG-60-10 (10 m) can be used.
