Main Features of MSR-001 Safety Relay:
The MSR-001 Safety Relay is a 24VDC device for safety light curtains and access control barriers, supporting symmetric and asymmetric outputs, suitable for SIL 3, PL e, category 4 protection.

Specifications:
  • Compatible with NPN and PNP light curtains, E-stop of machines, and safety door monitoring.
  • Operates in 1-channel or 2-channel modes with SIL 3 and PL e.
  • Features boot self-detection for line faults, manual or automatic restart, and LED indicators for power and relay status.
  • Safety outputs include 2 N.O. (FSD1 and FSD2) and 1 N.C. auxiliary output (AUX).
  • Power consumption ≤3W, with specific load capacities for resistive and inductive loads.
  • Operating voltage 24VDC ±10% with <10% ripple.
  • Dimensions: 22.5 x 99 x 111.5 mm, DIN-rail mountable.
  • Operating temperature range: -15 to +55 °C, mechanical life of 10 million switching cycles.

Procedures and Recommendations:
  • Manual restart requires pushing the Start/Restart switch to detect line faults.
  • In E-stop mode, closing contacts S11-S12 and S21-S22 requires a manual restart to detect line faults.
  • Automatic restart is not permitted after an emergency stop, per IEC/EN 60204-1 standards.
  • Wiring diagrams provided for both automatic and manual restart circuits, and for NPN and PNP light curtain configurations.

Warnings:
  • Avoid connecting two different switching signals to one safety relay to prevent loss of control function.
