Subject to alteration.

Before starting with the installation

I

l Installation requires qualified electrician

l Disconnect the power supply of the device.

l Secure against retriggering

l Verify isolation from the supply

l Ground and short-circuit

l Cover or enclose any

neighboring live parts.

l Follow the engineering instructions (IL) of the device

concerned.

l Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with

EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 part 100) may work on this

device/system.

l Before installation and before touching the device

ensure that you are free of electrostatic charge.

l The functional earth (FE) must be connected to the

protective earth (PE) or to the equipotential bonding.

The system installer is responsible for implementing

this connection.

l Connecting cables and signal lines should be

installed so that inductive or capacitive interference

does not impair the automation functions.

l Install automation devices and related operating ele-

ments in such a way that they are well protected

against unintentional operation.

l Suitable safety hardware and software measures

should be implemented for the I/O interface so that a

line or wire breakage on the signal side does not res-

ult in undefined states in the automation devices.

l Deviations of the mains voltage from the nominal

value must not exceed the tolerance limits given in

the specifications, otherwise this may result in mal-

function and hazardous states.

l Emergency-Stop devices complying with IEC/EN

60204-1 must be effective in all operating modes of

the automation devices. Unlatching the emergency

stop devices must not result in an automatic restart.

l Built-in devices for enclosures or cabinets must only

be run and operated in an installed state; desktop

devices and portable devices only when the housing

is closed.

l Measures should be taken to ensure the proper

restarting of programs interrupted after a voltage dip

or outage. This should not result in dangerous oper-

ating states even for a short time. If necessary, emer-

gency stop devices should be implemented.

l Wherever faults in the automation system may

cause damage to persons or property, external meas-

ures must be implemented to ensure a safe oper-

ating state in the event of a fault or malfunction (for

example, by means of separate limit switches, mech-

anical interlocks, etc.).

0.1 About this manual

This manual contains all the information you will need in order to use the easyE4 safely

and effectively.

The Manual easyE4 manual is considered an integral part of the devices and must

always be readily available in the device's close proximity so that users have access

to it.

As an integrated part, the easySoft 7 Help groups together the relevant sections in the

easySoft 7.

This Manual describes all of the devices' lifecycle stages: transportation, installation,

commissioning, operation, maintenance, storage, and disposal.

It assumes you have electrical engineering knowledge and skills.

Make sure to always use the latest documentation for your device.

0.1 About this manual

0.1.2 Target group

This manual is intended for electricians and electrical engineers, as well as for the

people who will be in charge of performing the electrical installation and people who

will be using the control relays as operating and monitoring devices or as integrated

operating and control devices in their own applications.

This manual is intended for people who:

l Want to use an easyE4 control relay

l Develop an application with easySoft 7.

l Want to test or commission a developed application

l Maintain an application with easySoft 7.

l Want to diagnose faults in an application

easyE4 devices must be installed and connected exclusively by electricians and people

who are familiar with electrical installation work.

CAUTION

Installation requires qualified electrician

Follow the safety instructions for the easyE4!

The section on safety instructions must be read and understood by

everyone who will be working with the easyE4 before the actual work is

performed.

WARNING

Incomplete operator manual copies

Working with individual pages taken out from the operator manual may

lead to bodily injury and property damage due to missing safety inform-

ation.

Always work with the latest and full document.

0.1.3 Legal disclaimer

All the information in this manual has been prepared to the best of our knowledge and in

accordance with the state of the art. However, this does not exclude the possibility of

there being errors or inaccuracies. We assume no liability for the correctness and com-

pleteness of this information. In particular, this information does not guarantee any par-

ticular properties.

Do not use the easyE4 before reading and understanding this manual.

It is assumed that the user of this manual is thoroughly familiar with the information

found in the manuals for incorporating the control relay into automation processes.

Hazards posed by the control relay cannot be ruled out if the safety instructions are not

observed – especially if the control relay is installed and commissioned by inadequately

qualified personnel or if it is used improperly. Eaton assumes no liability for any dam-

ages resulting from cases such as these.

The use of sample programs and of the easySoft 7 programming software is subject to

the following instructions and rules of use:

1. The program examples provided were created to the best of our knowledge and

belief and in accordance with the current state-of-the-art. The program

examples provided were created to the best of our knowledge and belief and in

accordance with the current state-of-the-art. However, errors cannot be totally

excluded, and the example programs do not cover all function blocks and applic-
