Safety Relay
Operating Instructions
Read and understand these instructions before installing, operating, or maintaining
the equipment.
!
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause death or serious injury.
Disconnect power before working
on equipment.
The safety relay must be installed in switchgear cubicles complying
with degree of protection IP32, IP43 or IP54, depending on the prevailing
environmental conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
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 effecti-
veness 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 warranty of Siemens. Any statements contained herein do not create new
warranties or modify existing ones.
Application
You can use the safety relay 3TK2825 in emergency tripping devices as per
EN 418, and in safety circuits as per VDE 0113 Part1 (06.93) or EN 60 204-1
(11.98), e.g. with movable covers and guard doors.
Depending on the external connection, safety category 4 as per DIN EN 945-1 is
achievable with this device.
Functions and connections
Safety relay 3TK2825 has three release circuits which are configured as NO cir-
cuits and two signaling circuits configured as an NC circuit. Three LEDs indicate
operating state and function.
When the EMERGENCY OFF pushbutton or position switch is enabled and the
ON pushbutton is operated, the internal redundant safety relays, electronic
circuitry and external contactors are tested for proper functioning.
On the 3TK2825, the ON circuit Y33, Y34 is checked for short-circuit. This means
that a fault ist detected when Y33, Y34 is closed before the emergency tripping
button is closed.

automatically generated when the actuator fails or the machine control initiates a safe
state. Otherwise an alternative shut-down method is required.

The safety relay is protected by an internal self-healing PTC fuse (multifuse).
Be sure to fit the specified fuses. Otherwise safe interruption in
the event of a fault cannot be guaranteed.

Reliable functioning of the equipment is only ensured with certified compon-
ents.
