4. Product Introduction
The HIMA F5105 is a safety relay output module used in HIMA safety automation systems. It provides relay-based switching for safety-related circuits such as shutdown commands, interlocks, and protective functions in industrial plants. HIMA safety systems are commonly applied in SIL-rated applications including emergency shutdown and process protection systems.
The module is installed as part of a HIMA rack-based safety architecture. Replacement requires verification of the exact rack position, wiring assignment, and safety configuration because relay output modules directly affect the final safety circuit.

5. Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation Preparation (Approx. 15 minutes)
⚠️ Safety First
- Notify operations before SIS maintenance.
- Confirm the process is in a safe condition.
- Apply lockout/tagout (LOTO).
- Remove 24 VDC power and verify isolation.
Tools Required
- ESD wrist strap
- PH1 screwdriver
- Digital multimeter
- Wire labels
- Smartphone for wiring photos
Data Backup
- Record current F5105 slot location.
- Photograph relay terminal wiring.
- Document NO/NC contact usage.
- Record active alarms and diagnostics.
- Verify current safety documentation.
Stage 2: Removing the Old Module (Approx. 10 minutes)
- Open the safety cabinet.
- Identify the installed F5105 module.
- Label all relay output wiring.
- Disconnect terminals carefully.
- Release rack locking mechanism.
- Pull the module straight out.
Inspect:
- Relay contacts
- Backplane connector
- Terminal condition
- Signs of overheating
⚠️ Note: Keep the removed module until the replacement passes functional testing.
Stage 3: Installing the New F5105 (Approx. 10 minutes)
- Verify:
- HIMA F5105 marking
- Correct rack position
- Matching hardware version
- Perform ESD protection.
- Install module:
- Align rack guides.
- Insert evenly.
- Lock module securely.
- Restore wiring:
- Match original terminal assignment.
- Confirm relay contact arrangement.
Checklist:
- Correct slot position
- Relay wiring verified
- Module fully seated
- Terminals tightened correctly
Stage 4: Power-On & Testing (Approx. 15 minutes)
- Restore cabinet power.
- Check HIMA system diagnostics.
- Verify module status indicators.
- Test relay operation.
- Confirm field shutdown/interlock response.
⚠️ Troubleshooting Notes
- Relay does not switch:
- Check input logic condition.
- Verify 24 VDC supply.
- Unexpected trip:
- Confirm NO/NC wiring.
- Check field device circuit.
- Module fault:
- Verify compatibility with the installed HIMA system.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is HIMA F5105 a CPU module?
No. The F5105 is a relay output module used for safety-related switching functions. The safety logic runs in the HIMA controller architecture, while the relay module interfaces with external circuits.
Q2: What systems use HIMA F5105?
The F5105 is associated with legacy HIMA safety systems such as HIQuad/H51q installations. HIMA safety platforms use modular architectures with dedicated input, output, communication, and logic modules.
Q3: Can HIMA F5105 be hot-swapped?
Do not assume live replacement is permitted. Relay output modules are connected to safety circuits, and incorrect removal can affect shutdown paths. Follow the approved maintenance procedure.
Q4: Will replacing F5105 delete the safety program?
No. The relay output module does not normally contain the complete safety application logic. However, verify the controller configuration and maintenance records before replacement.
Q5: Is HIMA F5105 obsolete?
The F5105 is a legacy HIMA safety component. Availability is generally dependent on industrial spare inventory, surplus stock, and tested refurbished units.
Q6: Why is the price lower than an OEM factory replacement?
Older automation components are often sourced from unused project inventory, plant spare stock, or removed systems. Confirm the actual condition:
- New Original
- New Surplus
- Refurbished (tested)
Q7: What should I confirm before ordering?
Check:
- Exact part number: HIMA F5105
- Existing HIMA system type
- Rack slot position
- Relay contact configuration
- Required test report and warranty condition
