Selection Guide
- Identify your safety controller platform — HIMatrix, HIQuad, or HIMax?
- Confirm rack slot type — Check the rack’s I/O slot specification against H4116 mechanical key.
- Verify output channel count — Does your safety function require 16 relay outputs or fewer?
- Check firmware version — Ensure your HIMA engineering tool (ELOP II / SILworX) supports the H4116 revision.
- Review SIL target — H4116 supports up to SIL 2; for SIL 3 loops, consult HIMA for approved configurations.
- Confirm certifications — Verify TUV certificate validity for your project’s regulatory jurisdiction.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use the H4116 as a direct drop-in replacement for an older HIMA relay module?
A: In most cases yes, provided the rack slot and firmware version are compatible. Always verify with HIMA’s compatibility matrix or contact Konmask for confirmation.
Q: Is the H4116 suitable for SIL 3 applications?
A: The H4116 is rated SIL 2. For SIL 3 loops, a redundant configuration or a higher-rated module may be required — consult HIMA’s functional safety team.
Q: Do you supply refurbished H4116 units?
A: Konmask supplies new, genuine OEM units only. We do not sell refurbished or counterfeit parts.
Q: Can I get a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. CoC and test documentation are available upon request for all orders.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: Standard stock orders ship within 3–5 business days. For urgent requirements, contact us directly.
