Operating Instructions
Safety Contact Expansion ESM-TE3..
Correct use
The ESM-TE3.. is an expansion module that can be
operated with any safety relay from the EUCHNER
ESM series, e.g. ESM-BA2.. or ESM-BA3.., in order
to permit delayed switch-off of machine parts. This
could be the case if it is safer to return a tool to
its initial position rst instead of stopping operation
immediately, for example. The ESM-TE3.. was de-
signed as a component for a modular system: any
combination of ESM-TE3.. units and non-time-delayed
contact expansions ESM-ES3.. can be interconnect-
ed with just a few lines, permitting realization of an
overall system with different times and the specic
number of safety contacts required.
Before the device is used, a risk assessment must
be performed on the machine, e.g. according to the
following standards:
fENISO13849-1
fENISO12100
fIEC62061.
Correct use includes observing the relevant require-
ments for installation and operation, particularly
based on the following standards:
fENISO13849-1
fEN60204-1
fIEC62061.
Important!
fThe user is responsible for the integration of
the device in a safe overall system. For this
purpose, the overall system must be validated,
e.g. according to ENISO13849-2.
fThe device user must assess and document
remaining risks.
fIf a data sheet is included with the product, the
information on the data sheet applies.
Safety precautions
WARNING
fInstallation and setup of the device must be
performed only by authorized personnel.
fObserve the country-specic regulations when
installing the device.
fThe electrical connection of the device is only
allowed to be made with the device isolated.
fThe wiring of the device must comply with the
instructions in these operating instructions,
otherwise there is a risk that the safety function
will be lost.
fIt is not allowed to open the device, tamper with
the device or bypass the safety devices.
fAll relevant safety regulations and standards are
to be observed.
fThe overall concept of the control system in
which the device is incorporated must be vali-
dated by the user.
fFailure to observe the safety regulations can re-
sult in death, severe injuries and serious damage.
fNote down the version of the device (see type la-
bel Vx.x.x) and check it each time prior to setup.
If the version changes, the use of the device in
the overall application must be validated again.

Function
The time-delayed emergency stop safety switching
device ESM-TE3.. in combination with a safety relay
from the EUCHNER ESM series is designed for safe
isolation of safety circuits according to EN 60204-1
and can be used up to safety category 3, PL d
according to EN ISO 13849-1.
The ESM-TE3.. provides a control voltage of DC24V
at terminal S11. In order for the ESM-TE3.. to switch
together with the connected safety relay, the control
voltage at S11 is connected to terminals S15 and
S16 of the ESM-TE3.. via one of the safety contacts
of the safety relay (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). The safety
contacts of the safety relay close when the safety
relay is activated, and the DC24V control voltage
from terminal S11 is then at terminals S15 and
S16 of the ESM-TE3... The safety contacts of the
ESM-TE3.. switch immediately.
The safety relay disconnects the control voltage
when the safety switch is operated, and the safety
contacts of the ESM-TE3.. open after the time set
on the ESM-TE3.. elapses (the power supply must
be present during the time sequence).
If a fault occurs in the ESM-TE3.., this is detected by
the safety relay via terminals S25 and S26.
Independent operation without safety relay is
not possible.

Mounting
As per EN60204-1, the device is intended for in-
stallation in control cabinets with a minimum degree
of protection of IP54. It is mounted on a 35 mm
mounting rail according to DINEN60715TH35.

Electrical connection
fWhen the 24 V version is used, a safety transform-
er according to EN61558-2-6 or a power supply
unit with electrical isolation from the mains must
be connected.
fExternal fusing of the safety contacts must be
provided.
fA maximum length of the control lines of 1,000 m
with a conductor cross-section of 0.75mm² must
not be exceeded.
fThe conductor cross-section must not exceed
2.5mm².
fIf the device does not function after setup, it must
be returned to the manufacturer unopened. Open-
ing the device will void the warranty.

Setup procedure
Notice
The items listed under Electrical connection must
be observed during setup.
1. Wiring ESM-TE3..:
Wire the ESM-TE3.. with the EUCHNER safety relay
according to your application (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).
2. Wiring safety relay:
Wire the safety relay according to the required
Performance Level determined (see operating
instructions for the safety relay).
3. Wiring feedback loop:
Wire the feedback loop as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.
4. Wiring power supply:
Connect the power supply to terminals A1 and A2
(see Fig. 9).
Attention: Wiring only in de-energized state.
5. Setting delay time:
Set the desired time delay on the rotary knob and
seal the knob with the supplied sticker. (For xed
time variant ESM-TE3..-05S this step is not required
because a xed delay time of 0.5 seconds is set).
Attention: Tick marks should be regarded only as
a setting aid. Always make sure to measure the
delay time.
6. Starting the device:
Switch the operating voltage on.
Attention: If the Automatic start behavior is set
on the safety relay, the safety contacts will close
immediately.
If the Monitored manual start behavior is set, close
the start button to close the safety contacts.
The LEDs K1 and K2 on the safety relay and on the
ESM-TE3.. illuminate.
7. Activating safety function:
Open the emergency stop circuit by actuating the
connected safety switch. The safety contacts of the
safety relay open immediately; the safety contacts
of the ESM-TE3.. open after the time set on the
rotary knob elapses.
Attention: Measure the delay time.
