Precautions for All Relays with Forcibly Guided Contacts

Refer to the “Safety Precautions” section for each Relay for specific precautions applicable to each Relay.

Mounting

The Relays with Forcibly Guided Contacts can be mounted in any

direction.

Relays with Forcibly Guided Contacts

While the Relay with Forcibly Guided Contacts has the previously

described forcibly guided contact structure, it is basically the same as

an ordinary relay in other respects. Rather than serving to prevent

malfunctions, the forcibly guided contact structure enables another

circuit to detect the condition following a contact weld or other

malfunction. Accordingly, when a contact weld occurs in a Relay with

Forcibly Guided Contacts, depending on the circuit configuration, the

power may not be interrupted, leaving the Relay in a potentially

dangerous condition (as shown in Fig. 1.)

To configure the power control circuit to interrupt the power when a

contact weld or other malfunction occurs, and to prevent restarting

until the problem has been eliminated, add another Relay with

Forcibly Guided Contacts or similar Relay in combination to provide

redundancy and a self-monitoring function to the circuit (as shown in

Fig. 2).

Refer to the Safety Components Technical Guide (Cat No. Y107).

The G9S/G9SA/G9SB Safety Relay Unit, which combines Relays

such as the Relay with Forcibly Guided Contacts in order to provide

the above-described functions, is available for this purpose. By

connecting a contactor with appropriate input and output to the Safety

Relay Unit, the circuit can be equipped with redundancy and a self-

monitoring function.

Durability of Contact Outputs

Relay with Forcibly Guided Contact durability depends greatly on the

switching condition. Confirm the actual conditions of operation in

which the Relay will be used in order to make sure the permissible

number of switching operations.

When the accumulated number of operation exceeds its permissible

range, it can cause failure of reset of safety control circuit. In such

case, please replace the Relay immediately. If the Relay is used

continuously without replacing, then it can lead to loss of safety

function.

CE Marking

(Source: Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive 73/23/

EEC)

The G7SA, G7S and G7S-@-E have been recognized by the VDE for

meeting the Low Voltage Directive according to EN requirements for

relays and relays with forcibly guided contacts. The Low Voltage

Directive, however, contains no clauses that specify handling

methods for components, and interpretations vary among test sites

and manufacturers. To solve this problem, the European Commission

has created guidelines for the application of the Low Voltage Directive

in EU. These guidelines present concepts for applying the Low

Voltage Directive to components. The G7SA, G7S and G7S-@-E,

however, do not display the CE Marking according to the concepts in

the guidelines.

VDE recognition, however, has been obtained, so there should be no

problems in obtaining the CE Marking for machines that use the

G7SA, G7S or G7S-@-E. Use the manufacturer’s compliance

declaration to prove standard conformance.

Contents of the Guidelines

The Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive 73/23/EEC

apply to components. Relays with PWB terminals are not covered by

the Low Voltage Directive.
