2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The intended use of the Sentry safety relay is to monitor the state of a safety device and
depending on the state, activate or inactivate the outputs within the system response time.
The protective function of the safety device is only safe if the safety relay is correctly
connected and configured. The safety relay is not by itself a complete protective device.
• Use the safety relay as a safety monitoring device.
• Use the safety relay as expansion device of safe outputs
• The safety relay is not intended for use in explosive or easily flammable adjacent air.
• Other use than defined as correct is considered as incorrect use.
2.2 Safety precautions
Warning! The safety precautions must be followed during installation, operation,
maintenance and troubleshooting.
Warning! The safety functions must be tested at start up or at replacement
before the system is put in operation.
Installation shall be conducted by authorized personnel following the Safety regulations,
standards and local legal regulations. Carefully read through the entire original instruction
before using the device.
Make sure that these instructions are included together with the documentation of the
system. Make sure that these instructions always are available for users of the system.
The safety relay must be selected so its safety related capacity meets or exceed the
performance level (PL) or safety integrity level (SIL) that has been estimated in the risk
analysis. The safety relay must only be used after it has been selected according to related
instructions, relevant standards, rules and regulations for protection and safety at work.
The entire dangerous zone must be visible from the position where the reset button is
installed. The reset button must be positioned out of reach from the dangerous zone.
The safety functions must be tested after installation or replacement of components or
cables. The safety relay must be exchanged within 20 years.
Failure to comply with instructions, operation that is not in accordance with the use
prescribed in the instructions, improper installation or handling can affect the safety of people
and the system. Failure to comply with the instructions or standards, excludes any liability.

4 Installation
4.1 Installing precautions
Follow the instructions carefully to avoid personal injury or damage to the device.
The safety relay shall be attached on a 35 mm DIN rail in a lockable enclosure that has at least
protection class IP54. Sentry safety relays shall be installed in an upright position.
Make sure there is at least 10 mm distance between the safety relay and other non-Sentry
units to prevent uncontrolled heating. Make sure there is at least 50 mm distance above and
below the safety relay and other units for correct air flow in the venting holes of the safety
relay.
Caution! Sentry safety relays can be installed without distance to other Sentry
safety relays, with exception of BSR23. Make sure there is at least 5 mm
distance between BSR23 and other Sentry safety relays
4.2 Attaching the safety relay on the DIN rail
1. Make sure that the DIN rail latching is reset.
2. Hang the top rear side of the safety relay on the DIN rail.
3. Push the bottom rear side of the safety relay on the DIN rail until a click is heard.

10 2TLC010062M0201 Rev.F
4.3 Removing the safety relay from the DIN rail
1. Use a screwdriver to unlock the DIN relay latching device from the DIN rail.
2. Pull the bottom rear side of the safety relay away from the DIN rail until a click is heard.
3. Lift the top rear side of the safety relay away from the DIN rail.
4.4 Resetting the latching device
• Pull the bottom side of the DIN rail latching device from the safety relay and push it
upwards to release it to its original position.

2TLC010062M0201 Rev.F 11
4.5 Connecting precautions
Warning! Disconnect the power supply before attaching or removing the
connection blocks.
Make sure that connection blocks and wires are clearly marked for correct connections. Use
applicable requirements in IEC 60204‑1 for wire connections. Make sure that the wires are
fitted with crimp terminals or ferrules before connection, unless solid copper conductors are
used.
For connections of relay output contacts: Make sure that all power supplies or signal sources
are connected to one side of the safety relay and that all power consumers or signal receivers
are connected to the opposite side of the safety relay.
Make sure to use at least one of the following methods to ensure correct wire protection
against short circuits for the safety relay outputs:
• The wires are permanently connected and protected against external damage, for example
by wire ducts or other types of covers for protection.
• Use of separate multi-core wires.
• Use of cables with wires being individually shielded with earth connection.
The safety requirement is that fuses shall be used on the relay outputs.
4.6 Connection blocks
The connection blocks on the safety relay are detachable to simplify installation and
replacement. The safety relay can be ordered with two different types of connection blocks,
screw compression type or push-in type.
4.7 Coding the connection blocks
The coding kit is used to make each connection point individual to avoid faulty connection.
Place the coding parts in an specific order on the connection block and match these with the
pin header.
• The risk assessment must include the risk of mistakes when using the connection blocks
without coding.
• If coding is used, a test of the outcome of the coding against the identified risks must be
done.

12 2TLC010062M0201 Rev.F
4.8 Connecting to a screw compression type terminal
Use a screwdriver with slot size 3,5 mm.
1. Open the terminal before inserting a wire.
2. Insert the wire in the correct terminal.
3. Close the terminal and secure the wire with torque 0,7 Nm ±0,1.
4.9 Connecting to a push-in type terminal
1. Press the actuating lever.
2. Insert the wire in the correct terminal.
3. Release the actuating lever.
4.10 Wire properties

C. NC contact: The NC contact is closed when the relay is inactivated and open when the
relay is activated.
Caution! A relay output is in safe state when the contact is open.
Caution! The NC contact is intended to monitor the state of a safety device only.
It is not a safe output.
Note! The NO contact is open at all types of internal failures and is a safe
output.

14 2TLC010062M0201 Rev.F
Note! Arc suppression for inductive loads is recommended to get a longer
lifetime for the relay contacts.
5.4 Test, start and reset interface
The safety relay has an interface for test, start and reset functions. The safety relay enters
inactive mode when at least one input is not accepted. The safety relay enters active mode
when the inputs are accepted, and a reset is performed.
5.5 Test and start
The BSR23 is a safety relay for output expansion of other safety devices. The internal relays will
follow the safety input channels directly and individually. The safety relay needs to be
monitored by the master unit controlling it. This is done via X1/X2 which need to be included in
serial connection with the test/reset circuit of the master unit.

8 Maintenance
8.1 Maintaining precautions
Warning! Comply to maintenance precautions. Risk of severe personal injury.
A defective safety relay shall be replaced with a new. Never bypass the safety circuit. Repair
and exchange of parts of the safety relay is forbidden. That may impair the safety of the
system and could lead to serious personal injury. In case of breakdown or damage to the
safety relay, contact nearest ABB Electrification service office or reseller.
ABB will not accept responsibility for failure of the functions if the installation and
maintenance requirements shown in this document are not implemented. These requirements
form part of the product warranty.
8.2 Scheduled test
Scheduled test, high demand application
All safety relays and connected safety devices used in high demand applications must be
tested once a year.
Scheduled test, low demand application
All safety relays and connected safety devices used in low demand applications must be tested
every third year.
Test sequence
Test should be conducted according to:
1. Set inputs to inactivate outputs.
2. Wait until all outputs are in off-state.
3. Set inputs to activate outputs.
4. Monitor that outputs are activated.
