Eaton DILM1000-XHI11-SI – High-Reliability Side-Mount Auxiliary Contact Module
The Eaton DILM1000-XHI11-SI is a premium, two-pole auxiliary contact block designed to expand the control and signaling capabilities of industrial contactors. Engineered by Eaton under the renowned Moeller® series, this snap-on side-mount module provides secondary signal feedback to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), monitoring systems, and safety circuits. By tracking the main contactor’s physical position, it ensures precise, real-time coordination across complex motor control networks.
The Eaton DILM1000-XHI11-SI features an innovative design with interlocked opposing contacts. This critical safety feature prevents the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts from closing simultaneously, satisfying strict international safety regulations. Offering a space-saving side-mount profile and a highly durable mechanical construction, this auxiliary contact block is a vital component for industrial automation, motor control centers, and machinery manufacturing.
Key Features of the Eaton DILM1000-XHI11-SI
-
Interlocked Opposing Contacts: Specifically engineered according to IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L to guarantee that opposing contact states never overlap, ensuring high safety in control circuits.
-
Dual-Pole Configuration (1 NO / 1 NC): Equips your system with one Normally Open and one Normally Closed auxiliary contact for flexible signaling and interlocking options.
-
Efficient Side-Mount Installation: Snaps cleanly onto the side of compatible contactors, keeping the top face free for other accessories or wiring.
-
Long Electrical Lifespan: Rated for up to 1,300,000 operations under standard AC-15 loads, minimizing the need for replacement over years of heavy use.
-
Safe Screw Connection Terminals: Built with finger and back-of-hand proof terminals (conforming to EN 50274) to prevent accidental shock during commissioning or maintenance.
-
Durable Environment Resilience: Operates smoothly across extreme temperatures ranging from -25degree CÂ to 60degree C.
Common Applications and Usage
Because of its robust safety ratings and side-mounting versatility, the Eaton DILM1000-XHI11-SI is heavily utilized across diverse automated electrical setups:
-
Contactor Interlocking Circuits: Used in reversing starter circuits to physically prevent forward and reverse contactors from engaging at the same time, avoiding phase-to-phase short circuits.
-
PLC Status Feedback Loops: Transmits reliable binary signals to PLC input modules, informing the control program whether a major industrial motor is active or stopped.
-
Fault and Safety Signaling: Triggers local warning lights, alarm buzzers, or trip-state relays in the event of an unexpected contactor interruption.
-
Standard Industrial Motor Starters: Installs directly onto Eaton DILM40 through DILM65A contactors inside pump stations, conveyor belts, and HVAC air handlers.

Installation and Wiring Guidelines
Warning: To prevent severe electrical shock or equipment damage, disconnect and lock out all power feeding the contactor before attempting to mount or wire this accessory.
Mounting to the Contactor: Align the interlocking hooks of the Eaton DILM1000-XHI11-SI with the matching side slots on your DILM contactor. Slide the unit forward until it clicks firmly into place.
Wiring the Terminals: Strip control wires to the recommended length. Secure them inside the screw terminals (M3.5) using a Pozidriv or standard screwdriver, applying a maximum torque of 1.2 Nm to ensure tight, reliable connections.
Functional Check: Manually cycle the contactor armature to confirm that the auxiliary contacts actuate smoothly without mechanical binding.
