The safety relay or switching unit monitors the integrated 8k2 Ohm resistor in the safety edges or safety mat for any changes in resistance by a continuously flowing current. While the sensors are not activated the output relays are energised, but when one or more sensors are activated and the total resistance sinks falls below the lower threshold the relays are de-energised indicating that the safety edge or safety mat has been activated. Similarly when an error occurs in the sensor circuit such as open circuit the relays are de-energised and a warning LED illuminates to indicate a fault.

The relays are certified to Category 1, 2 or 3 when used in conjunction with Bircher Reglomat's safety edges or mats.

Category 3

The Bircher Reglomat's safety category 3 (according EN954-1) safety relay is designed for use with safety mats and safety edges. They are available with automatic or manual reset with an auxiliary relay for indicating system status. They are available for three operating voltage ranges, 24 Vac/dc, 115 Vac and 230 Vac.

Key features: Safety Category 3 according to EN954-1, Fail safe, self-monitoring, double redundant signal evaluation, Force guided relay. Download datasheet.

Category 2

Bircher Reglomat category 2 safety relay has 2 input circuits for safety edges or mats. They have choice of one or two output relays, they are wired via a standard 11 pin relay base and they are only available for 24 Vac/dc operation. Download datasheet.
