PZE X4VP8 Introduction Validity of documentation This documentation is valid for the product PZE X4VP8. 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.
Safety Intended use The contact expansion module PZE X4VP8 meets the requirements of EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60204- 1. It is an expansion module for increasing the number of contacts available on a base unit. Base units are all safety relays with feedback loop.
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 PZE X4VP8 1003206-EN-10...
Earth fault in the input circuit: The output relays de-energise and the safety contacts open.

PZE X4VP8 Function description The contact expansion module PZE X4VP8 is an add-on device with selectable delay-on de-energisation, and it is used to expand a safety circuit. The contact expansion module is driven by a base unit (e. g. emergency stop relay).
Dual-channel Base unit: 24 V DC Safety relay PNOZ X Driven via safety contacts Feedback loop Base unit: Safety relay PNOZ X Y1 and Y2 are inputs on the base unit; they evaluate the feedback loop Operating Manual PZE X4VP8 1003206-EN-10...
The safety functions may only be checked by qualified personnel. Status indicators LEDs indicate the status and errors during operation: LED on CH.1 Safety contacts of channel 1 are closed. CH.2 Safety contacts of channel 2 are closed. Operating Manual PZE X4VP8 | 10 1003206-EN-10...

A safety function's SIL/PL values are not identical to the SIL/PL values of the units that are used and may be different. We recommend that you use the PAScal software tool to calculate the safety function's SIL/PL values. Operating Manual PZE X4VP8 | 15 1003206-EN-10...
To increase the service life, sufficient spark suppression must be provided on all output contacts. With capacitive loads, any power surges that occur must be noted. With DC con- tactors, use flywheel diodes for spark suppression. Operating Manual PZE X4VP8 | 16 1003206-EN-10...
