2 Product description
2.1 Ordering code
This operating instructions manual applies to the following types:
PROTECT SRB 101Exi-1A
Only if the information described in this operating instructions
manual are realised correctly, the safety function and therefore the compliance with the Machinery Directive and the
Explosion Protection Directive is maintained.
2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1,
these specications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond
to the standard version.
2.3 Destination and use
The safety inputs of the SRB 101EXi-1 safety-monitoring module have
an intrinsically safe design according to EN 60079-11. As appropriate
intrinsically safe apparatus, the SRB can evaluate sensors located in
the Zone 2 / 22, 1/21 and must be installed outside of the Ex-area in
a suitable control box or control cabinet.
The SRB 101EXi-1A safety-monitoring module can also be used in
Zone 2 areas, when mounted in a suitable enclosure with at least IP 54
protection class to EN 60079-15. The relay contacts for the safety
enabling signal are designed with protection class nC, the terminals
for the supply with nA and those for the signal inputs with ib.
The safety function is dened as the opening of release 13-14 when
the inputs S11-S12 or S21-S22 are opened. The safety-relevant current
path with output contact 13-14 meets the following requirements under
observation of a B
value assessment (also refer to “Requirements of
10d
DIN EN ISO 13849-1“):
– Control category 4 - PL e to DIN EN ISO 13849-1
– SIL 3 to DIN EN 61508-2
– SILCL 3 to DIN EN 62061
(meets the requirements of control category 4 to DIN EN 954-1)
To determine the Performance Level (PL) of the entire safety function
(e.g. sensor, logic, actuator) to DIN EN ISO 13849-1, an analysis of all
relevant components is required.

3.1 General mounting instructions
Mounting: snaps onto standard DIN rails to EN 60715.
Snap the bottom of the enclosure slightly tilted forwards in the DIN
rail and push up until it latches in position.
3.2 Mounting of the sensors
The installation of the intrinsically safe current circuits must be executed
in accordance with the applicable standards EN 60079-14 or EN 61241-14.
According to EN 60079-11, the following must be observed
for the installation: a distance of ≥ 6 mm must be observed
between the terminals of the intrinsically safe current circuits
and other intrinsically safe current circuits. Between the
terminals of the intrinsically safe current circuits and other,
non-intrinsically safe current circuits, a distance of ≥ 50 mm
must be observed.
The commissioning and installation are to be executed by
qualied professionals only.
3.3 Installation in Zone 2: particular conditions
• The devices must be installed in control or junction boxes, which meet
the requirements to EN 60079-15 and have at least protection class
IP 54 (Fig. 1). To respect temperature class T5, the device must have
a free volume of at least 2,400 cm
3
.
• Please make sure that you have read and understood these operating
instructions and that you know all applicable legislations regarding
occupational safety and accident prevention prior to installation and
putting the component into operation.
• The intrinsically safe current circuits of the device (light blue terminals)
may be lead in explosion-endangered areas. In this case, it must be
especially observed that they are safely separated from all non-intrinsically safe current circuits.

cycle
• The connection and separation of the connections of
non-intrinsically safe current circuits is not authorised
in explosion-endangered atmospheres.
• Only use a damp cloth to clean the enclosure.
• The lifetime of the safety-monitoring related to the ignition
protection class "nC" is at least 15 years. Upon expiration
of this time, the safety-monitoring module must be replaced either returned to the manufacturer for check-up!
The temperature specications (–25°C ≤ Ta ≤ +60°C) of
the safety-monitoring module are related to a volume of the
control cabinet of at least approx. 2,400 cm3 for each SRB.
The distance with regard to other safety-monitoring module
imperatively must be at least approx. 5 cm.
As far as the electrical safety is concerned, the protection
against unintentional contact of the connected and therefore
electrically interconnected apparatus and the insulation of the
feed cables must be designed for the highest voltage, which
can occur in the device.
5.3 Operating principle
• The SRB 101EXi-1A is a dual-channel safety-monitoring module for
monitoring emergency stop command devices, guard door monitors
and magnetic safety switches.
• When the safety circuits S11-S12 and S21-S22 and the feedback
circuit X1-X3 is closed, the safety-monitoring module is started and
the enabling circuit 13-14 is closed.
• The enabling circuit 13-14 is immediately opened when the emergen-
cy stop command device or another safety equipment is operated.
• Through the signalling path 21-22 an external control of the switching
condition of the SRB 101EXi-1A can be signalled for instance.
• The safety-monitoring module can only be restarted, when both
channels K1 and K2 have been enabled.
5.4 Adjustment
Opening the front cover (see Fig. 3)
• To open the front cover, insert a slotted screwdriver in
the top and bottom cover notch and gently lift it.
• When the front cover is open, the electrostatic discharge
requirements must be respected and observed.
• After setting, the front cover must be tted back in position.
Setting the switch (see Fig. 4)
• The cross-wire short monitoring function (factory setting) is
• programmed by means of the switch underneath the front
cover of the safety-monitoring module.
• The switch must only be operated in de-energised condition
by means of a nger or an insulated blunt tool.
• Pos. nQS (top), not cross-wire short proof:
suitable for 1-channel applications and applications with
outputs connected to potential in the control circuits.
• Pos. QS (bottom), cross-wire short proof:
suitable for 2-channel applications without outputs connected
to potential in the control circuits

9 Simple electrical apparatus
An assessment of simple electrical apparatus
to EN 60079-11 and EN 61241-11 must be executed.
As simple electrical apparatus within the meaning of intrinsic safety
do not represent a potential source of ignition, the Directive 94/9/EC
is not applicable. To demonstrate the intrinsic safety to EN 60079-14,
a declaration of the manufacturer therefore can be used.
The devices classied as simple electrical apparatus
can be used in the Zones 1 /2 and 21 / 22.
Only the intrinsically safe current circuit of the SRB 101EXi-1A
must be wired to the simple electrical apparatus.
Requirements for the intrinsically safe current circuit:
• The enclosures have at least protection class IP 54 (EN 60529) for gas,
IP6X for dust (IP5X in case of non-conductive dusts in Zone 22).
For reset buttons, emergency stop command devices, interlocking
devices and magnetic safety switches, the following is applicable:
Instructions for the installation:
• The risk of mechanical damage to the simple electrical apparatus
must be observed depending on the place of installation. Additional
measures to provide for a mechanical protection are useful, for instance when a potential difference through the earth wire can
occur due to damage.
Technical data in the intrinsically safe current circuit:
• Voltage U
: 33.6 V
o
• Current Io: 57.0 mA
• Capacity Po: 479 mW (linear characteristic)
• Co capacity: refer to the table with Ex-relevant data
• Lo inductivity: refer to the table with Ex-relevant data
Cable/wire (example):
• A mechanical protection for the cable(s) must be provided.
• The cable(s) must be separated from other, non-intrinsically
