### Key Features of the SR3D
- Two start modes available:
- Monitored manual start
- Automatic start
- Cross-fault and ground-fault monitoring
- Use up to PL e, SILCL 3, Category 4 – Meets the highest safety requirements
---
### Technical Functions of the SR3D
- 3 safe relay outputs (redundant and diverse)
- 1 auxiliary contact (signal contact) for status indication
- Force-guided relays for maximum operational safety
- Cyclic monitoring of relay contacts – Ensures that the safety function is maintained even in the event of internal faults
- Feedback circuit to monitor downstream contactors or expansion modules
- Status display via LED – Clear visualization of the switching states
---
### Connection Options
The SR3D allows direct connection of the following devices:
- Emergency stop buttons
- Safety switches
- Contactless safety switches
- Safety components with OSSD outputs
This flexibility makes the SR3D ideal for a wide range of machines and systems requiring diverse safety requirements.

### Application Areas of the SR3D
- Emergency stop circuits (single- or dual-channel)
- Protective guard monitoring on machines and systems
- Control of firing systems
- Ship applications (certified by Germanischer Lloyd)
---
### Safety Functions in Detail
The SR3D guarantees the safe separation of safety circuits in accordance with EN 60204-1, enabling a safety stop function up to PL e / SIL 3 in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC 61508.
- Standard-compliant shutdown: When an emergency stop button is pressed, the release paths are immediately opened, and the machine is safely shut down.
- Redundant relays: Even if one relay fails, the function is maintained, as the cyclic self-monitoring detects and addresses errors.

### Mounting Instructions
For flawless operation, the following guidelines must be observed:
- Mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail according to EN 60715 TH35
- Minimum protection class IP54 – Must be installed in control cabinets with sufficient heat dissipation
- Distance from adjacent devices: For the AC 115 V / 230 V variant, a distance of at least 10 mm from adjacent devices must be maintained.
