Function description
The contact expansion module PZE X4VP8 is an add-on device with selectable delay-on
de-energisation, and it is used to expand a safety circuit. The contact expansion module is
driven by a base unit (e. g. emergency stop relay).
} Functional procedure once the input circuit is closed (e.g. safety contacts on the base
unit are closed):
– The supply voltage is present at input (A1) of the contact expansion module.
– The safety contacts 17-18, 27-28, 37-38 and 47-48 close.
– The LEDs "CH.1" and "CH.2" are lit.
} Functional procedure once the input circuit is opened (e.g. safety contacts on the base
unit are opened):
– The supply voltage is not present at input (A1) of the contact expansion module.
– The LEDs "CH.1" and "CH.2" go out.
– Safety contacts 17-18, 27-28, 37-38 and 47-48 are opened redundantly once the
delay time has elapsed.
Installation
} The unit should be installed in a control cabinet with a protection type of at least IP54.
} 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).
Wiring
Please note:
} Information given in the "Technical details [ 466]" must be followed.
} Outputs 17-18, 27-28, 37-38 and 47-48 are delay-on de-energisation safety contacts.
} To prevent contact welding, a fuse should be connected before the output contacts (see
Technical details [ 466]).

} Use copper wire that can withstand 60/75°C.
} Sufficient fuse protection must be provided on all output contacts with capacitive and in-
ductive loads.
} Do not switch low currents using contacts that have been used previously with high cur-
rents.
