PNOZ 8 Introduction Validity of documentation This documentation is valid for the product PNOZ 8. 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 safety relay PNOZ 8 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 E-STOP pushbuttons...
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 PNOZ 8 22152-EN-03...
The circuit is redundant with built-in self-monitoring. The safety function remains effective in the case of a component failure. The correct opening and closing of the safety function relays is tested automatically in each on-off cycle. Operating Manual PNOZ 8 22152-EN-03...
PNOZ 8 Function Description The safety relay PNOZ 8 provides a safety-oriented interruption of a safety circuit. When supply voltage is supplied the "POWER" LED is lit. The unit is ready for operation when the feedback loop Y1-Y2 and the start circuit S12-Y1 are closed.
Use the notch on the rear of the unit to attach it to a DIN rail. Ensure the unit is mounted securely on a vertical DIN rail (35 mm) by using a fixing ele- ment (e.g. retaining bracket or an end angle). Operating Manual PNOZ 8 22152-EN-03...
Important for detection of shorts across contacts: As this function for detecting shorts across contacts is not failsafe, it is tested by Pilz during the final control check. If there is a danger of exceeding the cable runs, we recommend the following test after the installation of the device: 1.
Safety gate with detection of shorts across contacts NOTICE With single-channel wiring the safety level of your machine/plant may be lower than the safety level of the unit (see Safety characteristic data [ 20]). Operating Manual PNOZ 8 22152-EN-03...

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.

– Activate the safety function and check whether all the used safety contacts open. – Prepare for operation again and start the unit. All the used safety contacts must be closed again. The safety functions may only be checked by qualified personnel. Operating Manual PNOZ 8 22152-EN-03...
Contact malfunctions: If the contacts have welded, reactivation will not be possible after the input circuit has opened. LED "POWER" does not light: Short circuit or no supply voltage. Dimensions in mm 75 (2.95") 90 (3.54") 87 (3.42") Operating Manual PNOZ 8 22152-EN-03...
