The devices must be installed in switchgear cabinets with an adequate
degree of protection which takes the ambient conditions into account.
The products described herein are designed to be components of a customized
machinery safety-oriented control system. A complete safety-oriented system may
include safety sensors, evaluators, actuators and signaling components. It is the
responsibility of each company to conduct its own evalution of the effectiveness of the
safety system by trained individuals. SIEMENS AG, its subsidiaries and affiliates
(collectively "SIEMENS") are not in a position to evaluate all of the characteristics of a
given system or product or machine not designed by SIEMENS.
SIEMENS accepts no liability for any recommendation that may be implied or stated
herein. The warranty contained in the contract of sale by SIEMENS is the sole war-
ranty of SIEMENS. Any statements contained herein do not create new warranties or
modify existing ones.
You can use the safety relays 3TK2821/24 in EMERGENCY STOP devices as per
DIN EN / IEC 60947-5-5 and in safety circuits as per DIN EN / IEC 60204-1, e.g. with
movable covers and guard doors.
Using this device, max. Performance Level PL e / Cat. 4 according to
DIN EN ISO 13849-1 and/or SIL 3 according to DIN EN / IEC 62061 can be achieved.
Depending on the estimated risk, it may be necessary to carry out additional measu-
res in the sensor circuit (e.g. shielded cable laying). When 3TK 2821/24 is used as a
contact extension, the PL / Cat. / SIL that can be achieved is the same as for the
basic device. The user must carry out an evaluation of the overall systems.
Safety relay 3TK2821 has three release circuits (safety circuits) which are configured
as NO circuits and a signal circuit configured as an NC circuit.
Safety relay 3TK2824 has two release (safe) circuits which are configured as NO cir-
cuits. The number of release circuits can be increased by adding one or more
3TK2830 extension modules. Three LEDs indicate the operating state and function.
When the EMERGENCY STOP button or the limit switch is unlocked and when the
ON button is pressed, the internal circuits of the safety relay and the external contac-
tors are checked for proper functioning.
Connect the EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton or the limit switch in the supply cable
from A1 to +24 or L24 V. To evaluate over two channels, connect Channel 2 from A2
to 0 V or N. Connect the ON button in series with the NC contacts of the external con-
tactor (feedback circuit) to terminals Y1 and Y2 (for circuit examples, see Figs. V to
VIII).
Be sure to fit the specified fuses. Otherwise safe interruption in the
event of a fault cannot be guaranteed.
For further data and accessories see Catalog.
Read and understand these instructions before installing,
operating, or maintaining the equipment.
