Original operation manual –Safety relay 252.0xZ
General
The resistance evaluation unit 252.0xZ is a dual safety relay designed to monitor GELBAU Contact-Duo safety
switching strips with a resistance of 8.2 kΩas an electrical termination. The 252.0xZ model series has a two-
channel configuration and incorporates a control which monitors redundancy. The stop output (13, 14) comprises
two force guided relays.
With an additional changeover contact (21, 22, 24), a notification contact or auxiliary contact is available.
The safety system complies with the EN ISO 13849-1: 2008 standard and the EN ISO 13856-2: 2013 European
standard for pressure-sensitive protective devices as it applies to output switchgear.
Arrangement, connection Wiring diagram
Function
The Contact-Duo switching strip connected to Z1, Z2 is monitored with a quiescent current. If correctly wired, the
safety contact 13, 14 is closed and both green LEDs are illuminated in the operating state “Ready”.
If the Contact-Duo switching strip is actuated (compressed), both safety relays K1 and K2 assigned to it drop out
and safety contact 13, 14 is opened. The red LED is illuminated.
If the quiescent current circuit between Z1, Z2 is interrupted, the yellow LED lights up. Safety contact 13, 14 is
opened.
The additional changeover contact 21, 22, 24 switches simultaneously with the STOP contact and may not be
used in the safety circuit!

Original operation manual –Safety relay 252.0xZ
Installation, commissioning
1. Designed for electrical cabinet installation, the housing snaps into a 35 mm top hat rail (TS 35) in accordance
with DIN 50022. If control panel installation is desired, a 26-mm-wide top hat segment with two mounting
holes for screwed fasteners is available.
2. The Gelbau Contact-Duo switching strip(s) with terminating resistor is (are) connected to terminals Z1 and Z2.
Note that the brown conductor of the connection cable must be connected to Z1 and the white (blue)
conductor of the connection cable must be connected to Z2. When multiple Contact-Duo switching strips are
connected to resistance evaluation unit 252.0xZ, the individual switching strips must be connected in series
(Note: Wire the conductors brown-to-brown and white-to-white, otherwise malfunctions can occur), whereby
the resistor may only be installed as an electrical termination on the last switching strip.
3. The load applied to safety relay output 13, 14 may not exceed 4 A, because a 4 A slow-blow pre-fuse is
installed.
For changeover contact 21, 22, 24 the specified switching capacities must be observed (see “Technical
data”).
4. The supply voltage is connected to A1 and A2. The (+) pole must be attached to A1.
Troubleshooting and corrective measures
1. no LEDs light up
Is the supply voltage correct?
2. the yellow LED is continuously illuminated
Is the associated switching strip connected correctly or is there an interruption/break in the supply line? (Test:
Connect an 8.2 kΩresistor across Z1 and Z2 temporarily. If device is then OK Interruption/break.)
3. the red LED is continuously illuminated
Disconnect switching strip and check switching strip with ohmmeter (value must be about 8.2 kΩ); possible
short circuit in the supply line?
4. only one of the green LEDs is dimly illuminated
Actuate profile strip for approx. 2 seconds or switch off mains for approx. 5 seconds. If system still does not
operate correctly thereafter send device back for inspection.
The device may be installed and commissioned only by specialists with the relevant
qualifications.
