Subject to alteration.

Before starting with the installation
I
lInstallation requires qualified electrician
lDisconnect the power supply of the device.
lSecure against retriggering
lVerify isolation from the supply
lGround and short-circuit
lCover or enclose any
neighboring live parts.
lFollow the engineering instructions (IL) of the device
concerned.
lOnly suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 part 100) may work on this
device/system.
lBefore installation and before touching the device
ensure that you are free of electrostatic charge.
lThe functional earth (FE) must be connected to the
protective earth (PE) or to the equipotential bonding.
The system installer is responsible for implementing
this connection.
lConnecting cables and signal lines should be
installed so that inductive or capacitive interference
does not impair the automation functions.
lInstall automation devices and related operating ele-
ments in such a way that they are well protected
against unintentional operation.
lSuitable safety hardware and software measures
should be implemented for the I/O interface so that a
line or wire breakage on the signal side does not res-
ult in undefined states in the automation devices.
lDeviations of the mains voltage from the nominal
value must not exceed the tolerance limits given in
the specifications, otherwise this may result in mal-
function and hazardous states.
lEmergency-Stop devices complying with IEC/EN
60204-1 must be effective in all operating modes of
the automation devices. Unlatching the emergency
stop devices must not result in an automatic restart.
lBuilt-in devices for enclosures or cabinets must only
be run and operated in an installed state; desktop
devices and portable devices only when the housing
is closed.
lMeasures should be taken to ensure the proper
restarting of programs interrupted after a voltage dip
or outage. This should not result in dangerous oper-
ating states even for a short time. If necessary, emer-
gency stop devices should be implemented.
lWherever faults in the automation system may
cause damage to persons or property, external meas-
ures must be implemented to ensure a safe oper-
ating state in the event of a fault or malfunction (for
example, by means of separate limit switches, mech-
anical interlocks, etc.).
DANGER!
Dangerous Electrical Voltage!

0.1 About this manual
0.1 About this manual
This manual contains all the information you will need in order to use the easyE4 safely
and effectively.
The Manual easyE4 manual is considered an integral part of the devices and must
always be readily available in the device's close proximity so that users have access
to it.
As an integrated part, the easySoft 7 Help groups together the relevant sections in the
easySoft 7.
This Manual describes all of the devices' lifecycle stages: transportation, installation,
commissioning, operation, maintenance, storage, and disposal.
It assumes you have electrical engineering knowledge and skills.
Make sure to always use the latest documentation for your device.

0.1 About this manual
0.1.2 Target group
This manual is intended for electricians and electrical engineers, as well as for the
people who will be in charge of performing the electrical installation and people who
will be using the control relays as operating and monitoring devices or as integrated
operating and control devices in their own applications.
This manual is intended for people who:
lWant to use an easyE4 control relay
lDevelop an application with easySoft 7.
lWant to test or commission a developed application
lMaintain an application with easySoft 7.
lWant to diagnose faults in an application
easyE4 devices must be installed and connected exclusively by electricians and people
who are familiar with electrical installation work.
CAUTION
Installation requires qualified electrician
Follow the safety instructions for the easyE4!
The section on safety instructions must be read and understood by
everyone who will be working with the easyE4 before the actual work is
performed.
WARNING
Incomplete operator manual copies
Working with individual pages taken out from the operator manual may
lead to bodily injury and property damage due to missing safety inform-
ation.
Always work with the latest and full document.

0.1 About this manual
0.1.3 Legal disclaimer
All the information in this manual has been prepared to the best of our knowledge and in
accordance with the state of the art. However, this does not exclude the possibility of
there being errors or inaccuracies. We assume no liability for the correctness and com-
pleteness of this information. In particular, this information does not guarantee any par-
ticular properties.
Do not use the easyE4 before reading and understanding this manual.
It is assumed that the user of this manual is thoroughly familiar with the information
found in the manuals for incorporating the control relay into automation processes.
Hazards posed by the control relay cannot be ruled out if the safety instructions are not
observed – especially if the control relay is installed and commissioned by inadequately
qualified personnel or if it is used improperly. Eaton assumes no liability for any dam-
ages resulting from cases such as these.
The use of sample programs and of the easySoft 7 programming software is subject to
the following instructions and rules of use:
1. The program examples provided were created to the best of our knowledge and
belief and in accordance with the current state-of-the-art. The program
examples provided were created to the best of our knowledge and belief and in
accordance with the current state-of-the-art. However, errors cannot be totally
excluded, and the example programs do not cover all function blocks and applic-
ations that are available for the control relays.
2. Electrical engineering skills and know-how are required in order to be able to pro-
