Before working on electrical systems, disconnect them from their voltage supply and secure them against being switched on again. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Defects that are ascertained, such as damaged or loose cables, must be remedied immediately. safeCAP SC4 5/19 safeCAP SC4 with MCR-225...
Intended use Combined with safety relay MCR-225, safeCAP SC4 ensures safety- related release and interruption of a safety circuit. safeCAP SC4 is used to protect people from work machines with dangerous closing movements. If safeCAP SC4 is used without the aforementioned safety relay, the operator is responsible for safety-related release and interruption of the safety circuit.
For other relays, values such as B or T can be specified. These values are not considered here and can be requested from CAPTRON. Equivalent T-network If an equivalent T-network is used for the relay, the entire FIT value for the equivalent T-network must be determined via an FMEDA or an equivalent method.
