The Siemens 3TK2824-2AL20 is a sophisticated safety relay designed to enhance the operational security of machinery and plant equipment. This component is part of the SIRIUS safety relay range and is specifically engineered for use with emergency-stop units. It operates with a control supply voltage of AC 230V and features a compact width of 22.5mm, making it suitable for integration into various control systems without demanding excessive space.
Equipped with spring-loaded terminals, the 3TK2824-2AL20 ensures a secure and maintenance-free electrical connection, facilitating quick and reliable installation. The relay release circuits (RC) include two normally open (NO) contacts for instantaneous actions, while the mechanical contacts (MC) are not present in this model. The device supports an autostart function and is classified as a basic device within its series.
The 3TK2824-2AL20 is capable of achieving a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of 1 and a Performance Level (PL) of C, according to the relevant standards. It is designed to operate within a wide range of ambient temperatures, from -25°C to +60°C, ensuring consistent performance in diverse working environments.
This safety relay is also characterised by its robust design, with a protection class of IP40 for the housing and IP20 for the terminals, providing finger-safe protection against electrical shock. The relay is designed to resist electrical interference as per EN 60947-5-1 and can handle impulse voltage resistance up to 4,000V.
The 3TK2824-2AL20 is suitable for a variety of safety applications, including protective door monitoring, emergency stop function, and position switch monitoring. It is not designed for light barrier, standstill, or rotation speed monitoring, ensuring that it is utilised for its intended safety functions.
In summary, the Siemens 3TK2824-2AL20 safety relay is a reliable and efficient solution for managing safety-related circuits in industrial settings, contributing to the overall safety and compliance of equipment operations.
