IDEM SCR31 Series Single/Dual Channel
Viper Safety Relays
The Viper Safety Relay series from IDEM are designed with enhanced
LED diagnostics and simplified wiring. Applications include guard door
monitoring, emergency stop devices and sensors. The SCR31 series’
internal logic uses force guided relays to achieve cross monitoring. This
ensures that a single fault does not lead to the loss of the safety function
and that all faults are detected at or before the next safety demand.
Note: Not for use with safety light curtains
Features
• Single or dual channel operation
• Monitored manual or auto start/reset
• Up to 3 safety output contacts and 1 auxiliary output contact
• Easy diagnostics of status via 6 LEDs
• 22.5 mm DIN rail mounting
