PZE X4VP4 Introduction Validity of documentation This documentation is valid for the product PZE X4VP4. 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 X4VP4 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 X4VP4 1003205-EN-12...
Earth fault in the input circuit: The output relays de-energise and the safety contacts open.
