Operating Instructions
Safety Contact Expansion ESM-ES3..
Correct use
The Safety Contact Expansion ESM-ES3.. in combi-
nation with any safety relay from the EUCHNER ESM
series can be used to produce up to three additional
safety paths per device. An existing system can thus
be expanded practically indenitely in a modular
manner. Activation takes place via a safety contact
of the safety relay; the ESM-ES3 provides monitor-
ing contacts for error monitoring. The devices can
be used in systems up to safety category4, PLe
according to EN ISO 13849-1.
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 Safety Contact Expansion ESM-ES3.. in com-
bination 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 category4, PLe according to
EN ISO 13849-1.
Terminal S11 (DC24V control voltage) is connected
with terminals S15 and S16 via the safety contacts
of the safety relay. Starting the safety relay also
activates the ESM-ES3... The safety relay discon-
nects the control voltage when the safety switch is
operated, and the safety contacts of the ESM-ES3..
open immediately.
If a fault occurs in the ESM-ES3.., this is detected by
the safety relay via terminals S23 and S24.
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.
fPE (protective earth) must be connected to termi-
nal S10 on the AC115/230V variant. Wiring of
the overall device is to be designed for 115/230V.

Setup procedure
Notice
The items listed under Electrical connection must
be observed during setup.
1. Wiring ESM-ES3..:
Wire the ESM-ES3.. 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. 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-ES3.. illuminate.
6. Activating safety function:
Open the emergency stop circuit by actuating the
connected safety switch. The safety contacts of the
safety relay and the ESM-ES3.. open immediately.
7. Reactivating:
Close the emergency stop circuit. If Automatic start
is selected on the safety relay, the safety contacts
will close immediately.
If the Monitored manual start behavior is set, close
the start button on the safety relay to close the safe-
ty contacts of the safety relay and the ESM-ES3...
