Durable Construction, Compact DesignHoused in a flame-retardant ABS enclosure, this compact relay (45 x 75 x 115 mm) is built to endure harsh industrial conditions, including high humidity (up to 95% non-condensing), temperatures from -25C to +55C, and shocks up to 30G, making it suitable for diverse manufacturing setups.
Flexible Installation and OperationWith DIN rail mounting, screw terminal connectivity, and both manual and automatic reset options, this relay suits various safety setups. Its wide voltage compatibility, low power consumption (<2W), and long mechanical life ensure minimal maintenance and operational efficiency.
FAQ's of Two Hand control safety relay:
Q: How is this Two Hand Control Safety Relay installed?
A: The relay is designed for DIN rail mounting, enabling quick and secure installation within standard control panels. Screw terminals (A1, A2) facilitate wiring connections, and its compact dimensions maximize panel space efficiency.
Q: What are the primary applications for this safety relay?
A: This relay is targeted at two-hand control safety applications, commonly implemented in presses, cutting machines, or any industrial machinery where operator hands must be detected simultaneously to ensure safe machine operation.
Q: When should I use manual versus automatic reset on this relay?
A: Manual reset is preferred when heightened safety is needed, such as after a system interruption or emergency stop. Automatic reset allows for process continuity but should only be applied where the risk of accidental restart is minimal and safety protocols permit.
Q: Where can this relay be used in terms of environmental conditions?
A: The relay can operate reliably in environments with ambient and working temperatures from -25C to +55C, humidity up to 95% (non-condensing), and shocks up to 30G, making it suitable for most industrial production sites.
Q: What benefit does dual safety output provide in two-hand control systems?
A: Dual NO (Normally Open) safety outputs ensure that both operator hands are engaged before machine activation, reducing the risk of accidental start and enhancing worker safety by requiring intentional two-point activation.
Q: How does the relay handle electrical and mechanical durability?
A: The relay is rated for high contact loads (5A @ 250V AC), boasts an insulation resistance over 100 M, a dielectric strength above 2,500V AC, and a mechanical life exceeding 10 million cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding usage.
Q: What process is followed for using this relay in a safety circuit?
A: In operation, the device is integrated into machine control panels; users must simultaneously actuate both hand controls, triggering the DPDT contacts to activate machine operation. The relay immediately responds (<25 ms) and incorporates overload protection for safe, stable functioning.
