PST 4 Introduction Validity of documentation This documentation is valid for the product PST 4. 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.
This gives advice on applications and provides information on special fea- tures. Safety Intended use The safety relay PST 4 provides a safety-related interruption of a safety circuit. The safety relay meets the requirements of EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60204-1 and may be used in applications with: Safety gates...
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 PST 4 18436-EN-09...
71-72, 81-82, 91-92 and 01-02 are closed. – The LEDs "CH.1 OUT" and "CH.2 OUT" go out. If the input circuits have already switched before supply voltage is applied, the PST 4 stops the plant being enabled, to prevent an automatic start-up in accordance with EN 60204 Pt 7.5.
Use the notch on the rear of the unit to attach it to a DIN rail (35 mm). When installed vertically: Secure the unit by using a fixing element (e.g. retaining bracket or end angle). Operating Manual PST 4 18436-EN-09...
Do not switch low currents using contacts that have been used previously with high cur- rents. On 24 VDC devices: The power supply must comply with the regulations for extra low voltages with protective electrical separation (SELV, PELV) in accordance with VDE 0100, Part 410. Operating Manual PST 4 | 10 18436-EN-09...
In the event of an automatic start or manual start with bridged start contact (fault): 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. Operating Manual PST 4 | 11 18436-EN-09...

The feedback circuit must be closed at least 500 ms before limit switch S1 is operated and may only be opened once limit switch S1 has been oper- ated. Legend S1/S2: Safety gate switch S3: Start button : Switch operated : Gate open : Gate closed Operating Manual PST 4 | 12 18436-EN-09...
LED "POWER" does not light: Short circuit or no supply voltage. CH.1 OUT and CH.2 OUT do not light: Only one limit switch is closed. Simultaneity was not maintained. Operating Manual PST 4 | 13 18436-EN-09...

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 PST 4 | 19 18436-EN-09...
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 PST 4 | 20 18436-EN-09...
