Siemens 3TK2825-1AL20 | SIRIUS Safety Relay

Overview

3TK2825-1AL20 is a safety relay from Siemens' SIRIUS 3TK28 series, designed for monitoring emergency-stop circuits and safety-related applications in industrial environments. It provides reliable safety function with positively-driven relay enabling circuits.

The device features 3 NO (normally open) enabling contacts and 2 NC (normally closed) signaling contacts, supporting both single-channel and two-channel control configurations. It is designed for 230 V AC control supply voltage and uses screw-type terminals for secure electrical connections.

The 3TK2825-1AL20 achieves Safety Category 4 (EN 954-1), Performance Level e (PL e) (ISO 13849-1), and SIL 3 (IEC 61508/EN 62061), making it suitable for high-demand safety applications. Its positively-driven contacts ensure that if one contact welds, the other contact is used to shut down the circuit safely.

Features

Safety & monitoring functions

  • Emergency-stop monitoring — Designed specifically for EMERGENCY-STOP circuit monitoring, ensuring safe shutdown of machinery in critical situations.
  • Multi-sensor compatibility — Supports monitoring of position switches, safety switches, magnetic switches, floating sensors, and safety-related circuits.
  • Dual-channel control — Supports both single-channel and two-channel operation, with cross-circuit detection (minimum fault current k_min = 0.5 A).

Diagnostics & configuration

  • Positively-driven contacts — If one contact welds, the other contact is used to shut down the circuit safely, ensuring fail-safe operation.
  • LED status indication — Three LEDs (POWER, CHANNEL 1, CHANNEL 2) provide visual indication of operating state and fault conditions.
  • Cross-circuit proof design — Detects cross-circuits in the EMERGENCY STOP circuit, improving system safety and reliability.

Cable length guidelines:

Maximum cable lengths for 3TK2825:
  • Single-channel control (2-core cable): Max 1000 m with 1.5 mm² copper wire cross-section; 1666 m with 2.5 mm².
  • Two-channel control (for Categories 3 & 4): Max 500 m with 1.5 mm² cross-section; 833 m with 2.5 mm².

Recommendation: For new installations requiring emergency-stop monitoring up to PL e / SIL 3, the 3TK2825-1AL20 remains a reliable and cost-effective solution. For applications requiring longer cable lengths (>1000 m), consider the 3TK2826 series.
