Key Features:
- Safety relay with time monitoring.
- 2 normally open (n/o) safety contacts.
- 24 VDC coil voltage.
- DIN rail mountable.
- Screw-type terminals for reliable connections.
- Automatic operation mode.
4. Setup and Installation
The PNOZ XV2 safety relay is designed for easy installation on a standard DIN rail. Ensure all power is disconnected before proceeding with installation.
4.1 Mounting
- Locate a suitable position on a DIN rail within your control cabinet.
- Align the relay with the DIN rail and press firmly until it clicks into place.
- Ensure the relay is securely fastened and does not wobble.
4.2 Wiring
Refer to the terminal diagram on the device for correct wiring. Use appropriate wire gauges for the specified current ratings.

Figure 2: Top view of the PILZ PNOZ XV2 Safety Relay, showing terminal connections and the time setting dial.
- Connect the 24 VDC power supply to the designated terminals (e.g., A1 and A2).
- Connect the safety input devices (e.g., emergency stop buttons, safety gates) to the input terminals (e.g., S11, S12, S21, S22).
- Connect the load to the safety output contacts (e.g., 13-14, 23-24). These are normally open contacts that close when the safety circuit is clear.
- Ensure all screw terminals are tightened securely to prevent loose connections.
5. Operating Instructions
The PNOZ XV2 operates in automatic mode. Once correctly wired and powered, it monitors the safety inputs and controls the outputs based on the configured time settings.
5.1 Time Monitoring Adjustment
The device features a rotary dial for adjusting the time delay. This dial is visible on the top surface of the relay (refer to Figure 2).
- Use a small screwdriver to carefully turn the dial to the desired time setting (e.g., 0.5s, 1s, 2s, up to 30s).
- The selected time setting determines the delay for the safety outputs.
- Verify the setting is correct for your application's safety requirements.
5.2 Power-Up and Operation
- After completing wiring, apply 24 VDC power to the relay.
- The "POWER" indicator LED should illuminate.
- If the safety inputs are closed (e.g., all safety gates closed, E-stop released), the "START" LED will illuminate, and after the set time delay, the output contacts will close.
- If a safety input opens, the output contacts will immediately open, and the "START" LED will extinguish.
6. Maintenance
The PNOZ XV2 safety relay is designed for minimal maintenance. However, regular checks are recommended to ensure continued safe operation.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the relay for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
- Function Test: Regularly test the safety function by activating the connected safety devices (e.g., pressing an E-stop, opening a safety gate) to ensure the relay responds correctly and opens the safety outputs.
- Cleaning: If necessary, clean the exterior of the device with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
7. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues encountered with the PNOZ XV2 safety relay.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power LED illumination. | No 24 VDC supply; incorrect wiring. | Check power supply connections and voltage. Verify wiring to A1/A2 terminals. |
| Start LED not illuminating. | Safety inputs not closed; wiring error in input circuit. | Check all safety input devices (E-stop, safety gates) are in their safe state. Verify wiring to input terminals. |
| Output contacts not closing after delay. | Start LED not on; incorrect time setting; internal fault. | Ensure Start LED is illuminated. Check time setting dial. If problem persists, contact technical support. |
| Outputs open unexpectedly. | Safety input opened; power interruption. | Check all safety input devices for unexpected activation. Verify stable power supply. |
