Indicators and Adjustments
The Safety Module has indicators for input power and output relay contact status (K1 and K2); see Figure 1. Features on page 3.
There are no adjustments and no user-serviceable parts.

Figure 1. Features Figure 2. Accessing the DIP Switches
The Safety Module can monitor dry (hard/relay) contacts as well as solid state PNP outputs from sensors or light screens, either in single-
channel or dual-channel mode. To select dry contact inputs and single-channel solid-state inputs, set the two DIP switches under the
lower terminal block to ON (both switches toward the circuit board). To select dual-channel solid-state inputs, set the two DIP switches to
OFF (away from the circuit board). The factory default setting is for dual-channel solid-state input mode (both switches OFF/away from
the circuit board), see
Figure 5. on page 7.

Input Device Requirements
WARNING: Incomplete Information
Many installation considerations that are necessary to properly apply input devices are not covered in this
document. Refer to the appropriate device installation instructions to ensure the safe application of
the device.
Optical Sensors
The safety inputs may be used to monitor optical-based devices that use light as a means of detection. These devices include safety light
screens (curtains), safety laser scanners, and multiple/single beam devices (grids/points).
The design and installation of the optical safeguarding device should comply with ANSI B11.19, IEC61496 (all applicable parts), ISO
13855, and/or other applicable standards. Optical safety devices must be placed at an appropriate safety distance (separation distance)
from the safeguarded hazard. Because these devices vary, it is not practical to list specific calculations here. Refer to the applicable
standards and to manufacturer documentation specific to your device for the appropriate calculations and for complete installation infor-
mation (such as AG4 installation manual p/n 144924).
Interlocked Guards (Gates)
The safety inputs can be interfaced with positive-opening safety switches to monitor the position of an interlock guard or gate. Each
switch must provide electrically isolated contacts: at minimum, one normally closed (N.C.) contact from each individually mounted switch.
The contacts must be of "positive-opening" (direct-opening) design, as described by IEC60947- 5-1, with one or more normally closed
