DIN 43650 Solenoid Valve Connection Systems
Norstat and DIN are synonymous in the Fluid Power Industry. Norstat was the
first in 1982 to introduce the North American market to the concept of a
European DIN Connector with a Robust IP67, Encapsulated, Molded Cable Design.
We have been providing technological enhancements to this market ever since.
Today we offer the full range of DIN connectors and accessories fully stocked
in Rockaway, NJ.
DIN 43650 or EN 175301-803 Connectors are robust and reliable quick-disconnect
alternatives to handwiring of DIN style solenoid valves on the factory floor.
Norstat/HTP offers a complete range of DIN field-attachable connectors,
DIN molded encapsulated cable connectors and DIN accessories. DIN connectors
are available in all voltages with LED for indication, and Suppression Protection
to remove dangerous back EMI. The connectors are available in Form A 18mm,
Industrial Form B 11mm, DIN 43650 Form B 10mm, Industrial Form C 9.4mm and
DIN 43650 Form C 8mm.
DIN connectors are manufactured to meet the hydraulic and pneumatic standards
for quick-disconnect connectors on solenoid valves, pressure switches and
transducers. Norstat and HTP connectors support all DIN 43650 valves, providing

Mosaic
Modular Safety Integrated Controller (MoSaIC)
MOSAIC is the new modular and configurable safety controller from Norstat and REER.
This new safety device is capable of monitoring many safety sensors and commands at the same time. These can be safety light curtains, safety photocells, emergency stops, safety mats, magnetic or mechanical safety switches, two-hand controls, etc.
Thanks to MOSAIC’s modular and expandable structure, it is possible to adapt its I/O configuration and functionality to the demands of each application. This makes MOSAIC a highly versatile and flexible safety controller.
MOSAIC has solid state and/or relay outputs. They can be instantaneous or delayed.
Main Features
- Configurable safety controller
- Safety level: SIL 3, PLe, Cat. 4

Safety Communication
Communication between units via proprietary high speed bus (MSC – Mosaic Safety Communication) Simple diagnostics via LED signaling and configuration software.
Mosaic Safety Designer (MSD)
Mosaic Safety Designer (MSD) software is a user-friendly configuration tool which makes the programming of MOSAIC possible in just a few simple steps. By clicking on the functional icons it is easy to ‘Drag & Drop’ and configure any of the many safety functions.
Thanks to an accurate functional test incorporated into the Mosaic Safety Designer (MSD) software, configuration errors are detected immediately. This also helps to guarantee that configuration errors cannot lead to an unsafe situation and valuable time is not lost during the commissioning of the machine.
In addition, the multi-level password management of Mosaic Safety Designer (MSD) gives further security against non-authorized access to the configuration software.
MCM is a memory card which can be used to save the configuration data for copying to a new MOSAIC safety controller as and when required.
Safety level:
Cat. 4
SIL 3 – SILCL 3
PL e – Cat. 4

Announces a Special Limited Time Offer On REER JANUS MUTING Light Curtains
A Complete ENTRY/EXIT & EXIT Only Muting System for Palletizing, Wrapping, & Robotic Cells for $1200.00
Janus Series Light Barriers, Safety Innovation For Material Handling
The Janus M range of muting light barriers is a very unique product that has been designed specifically for protecting personnel in Material Handling Applications, such as Palletizing, Machine Conveying, Wrapping, Loading/Unloading, and Robotic applications. Anywhere muting is integral to the flow of material.
The Janus, with built-in muting control, dual safe static outputs, and optional built in muting sensors, can work without external control units having all the safety functions integrated inside the Emitter and the Receiver. This complies harmoniously with the requirements of the Standard EN 61496-1, the International Standard IEC 61496-1-2 and CSA Z432-04 – Safeguarding of Machinery.
The benefits of the Janus M Series Light Curtains are:
- Extremely easy connection and installation, thanks to the M12, 5-pole (emitter) and M23 19-pole (receiver) standard connectors.
- Use of standard cables up to 100 m long. No need for shielded cables.
- Settings of each function are integrally performed via the connector. Patented solutions allow the installer to perform a wide range of user friendly configurable functions with only a few connector pins. No need for software or dip-switch settings on the light curtain for the configuration! The end user can replace a product without the possibility of errors or the necessity of a skilled operator!
- Integration of the main safety functions, including self-monitoring of the safety circuits and, the external device monitoring (EDM) and the Start/Restart interlock functions.
- Long Range 40mm resolution version available with up to 60m (197’) sensing range
- Integration of the Muting function and of the Muting sensors (ML and MT models). All Muting parameter settings (Muting timeout, override, etc.), via the receiver connector and/or the MJB connection boxes.

Safety Relays with Force Guided Design
A traditional electromechanical relay consists of a set of contacts that open or close, depending on their arrangement and the coil voltage. A Riese safety relay’s contact design is mechanically interlocked. Mechanically interlocking the contacts enables the relay’s behavior to operate in a predetermined fashion and is achieved by either applying the mechanical interlock or force guiding the contact set.
The design using a mechanical bar interlinking all the contacts assures that all normally open (N/O or Form A) contacts don’t close if the normally closed (N/C or Form B) contacts don’t open. If the contacts of either the N/O or the N/C type are welded shut, the bar prevents the opposing contact type from operating. Therefore, when a relay contact fails to open, the opposing (or other) contacts don’t close enabling a monitored state of the relay. This design is the heart of RIESE SAFETY RELAYS and provide detection of a single fault, redundancy in the contacts and monitoring of the safety devices. In addition, the N/C and N/O contact may not be closed simultaneously.
When experiencing a fault, a safety relay’s contacts go into an undefined state. In the event that a relay contact welds together or fails to open, fault tolerance is achieved by allowing all the possible contact sets to open to a gap larger than 0.5 millimeters. This is the minimum contact set for a safety relay consists of a Form A (N/O) and Form B (N/C) contact.
With automated machines and processes, hazardous motion is typically present posing potential danger. The goal of any safety circuit, is to provide protection for the operator, the machine, and even the processes. The use of Riese Safety Relays with force guided, redundant, monitored circuit design results in reduced danger, control reliability, single fault tolerance and improved safety.
Installing safety devices such as guards and gates, light curtains, safety mats, pull cord switches, foot switches, two hand control devices etc….. Don’t in and of themselves create a safe machine. It is the use of the Riese Safety Relay behind these devices that assure the output from any of these safety devices is correctly and reliably sent to the stopping control circuit.

Mechan SS-R 21 Electronically Coded Safety Switch
The new SS-R 21DC-10M features 2 normally open and 1 normally closed contacts, a dual color LED which is red when the guard is open, and green when the guard is closed. The SS-R has volt free contacts so it is not polarity sensitive, and the out put contact is capable of switching higher current at higher voltage up to 2A. This switch has been designed to replace the BTI but with the added benefit of polarity independence and greater current output contacts to drive more optional devices in the safety circuit. I have also attached information on our full MagnaSafe line including the MS 7. The MagnaSafe program features a cost effective solution utilizing a magnetically coded safety switch. Let me know if you would like a sample as well as your requirements for the machines you are producing now. Thanks for the opportunity and if you have any questions please call on me.
