Operating Instructions
Safety Relay ESM-BL2..
Correct use
The ESM-BL2.. is a low-cost emergency stop safety
relay with which machines and systems can be
safely switched off by disconnecting the power
supply. Internal error monitoring takes place during
restarting via the start button.
Applications for the ESM-BL2.. include single- or
dual-channel emergency stop circuits and guard
monitoring on machines and installations.
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 emergency stop safety switching device
ESM-BL2.. is designed for safe isolation of safety
circuits according to EN 60204-1 and can be
used up to safety category3, PLd according to
EN ISO 13849-1.
The internal logic system closes the safety contacts
when the start button is pressed.
When the safety switch is opened, the positively
driven safety contacts open and safely switch off
the machine. It is ensured that a single fault does not
lead to a loss of the safety function and that every
internal fault is detected by cyclical self-monitoring
no later than when the system is switched off and
switched on again. Only a fault in the safety switch
itself is not detected. The switch must be checked
regularly as part of a maintenance plan.

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 emergency stop circuit:
Wire the emergency stop circuit according to the
required Performance Level determined (see Fig.
5 to Fig. 7).
2. Wiring start circuit:
Wire the start circuit according to Fig. 8 or Fig. 9 to
set the starting behavior.
Attention: If Automatic start is set, bear in mind that
the safety contacts will switch immediately after the
power supply is connected. If Monitored manual start
is set, the start button must be opened after wiring.
3. Wiring feedback loop:
If your application provides for external contactors
or expansion modules, connect them to the device
according to Fig. 10 or Fig. 11.
4. Wiring power supply:
Connect the power supply to terminals A1 and A2
(see Fig. 12).
Attention: Wiring only in de-energized state.
5. Starting the device:
Switch the operating voltage on.
Attention: If the Automatic start behavior is set, the
safety contacts will close immediately.
If the Monitored manual start behavior is set, close
the start button to close the safety contacts.
LEDs K1 and K2 illuminate.
6. Activating safety function:
Open the emergency stop circuit by actuating the
connected safety switch. The safety contacts open
immediately.
7. Reactivating:
Close the emergency stop circuit. If Automatic
start is selected, the safety contacts will close
immediately.
If the Monitored manual start behavior is set, close
the start button to close the safety contacts.
