Product description
Product description
The tried and tested SIRIUS monitoring relays for electrical and mechanical quantities
enable constant monitoring of all important characteristic quantities that provide information
about the reliability performance of the plant. Sudden disturbances and gradual changes,
which may reveal a maintenance requirement, for example, are both indicated. By means of
relay outputs, the monitoring relays enable direct shutdown of the affected sections of the
plant as well as issuing an alarm (e.g. by switching on a warning lamp). To respond flexibly
to short-term disturbances such as voltage dips or load variation, the monitoring relays have
settable delay times. This avoids unnecessary alarming and shutdowns while enhancing
plant availability.
The individual 3UG4 monitoring relays offer the following functions in various combinations:
● Undershoot and/or overshoot of liquid levels
● Phase sequence
● Phase failure, neutral failure
● Phase asymmetry
● Undershoot and/or overshoot of voltage thresholds
● Undershoot and/or overshoot of current thresholds
● Undershoot and/or overshoot of power factor thresholds
● Monitoring of the active current or apparent current
● Monitoring of the fault current
● Monitoring the insulation resistance
● Undershoot and/or overshoot of speed thresholds
The 3RT2 contactors for mounting on 3RR2 current monitoring relays offer:
● Phase sequence
● Phase failure
● Undershoot and/or overshoot of current thresholds
● Monitoring of the active current or apparent current
Operating conditions and resistance to extreme climates
Special application environments
3.2 Application planning
The following information must be taken into account when planning applications involving
the SIRIUS monitoring relays.
The monitoring relays are approved for installation altitudes up to 2,000 m. The reduced air
density at altitudes higher than 2,000 meters affects the electrical characteristics of the
monitoring relays. The reduction factors which have to be taken into account when using
monitoring relays at altitudes higher than 2,000 m can be obtained on request on the Internet
(www.siemens.com/automation/csi_en).
The monitoring relays are climate-proof. They are intended for use in enclosed spaces in
which no severe operating conditions prevail (e.g. dust, caustic vapors, hazardous gases).
Appropriate measures must be taken when installing in areas subject to dust and humidity.
Condensation on the devices is not permissible.
The SIRIUS devices have been approved by a whole range of bodies for various sectors
(shipbuilding, etc.). An up-to-date list of approvals is provided in Chapter 10 of the Catalog
IC 10 - SIRIUS "Industrial Controls." You will find more information and an option to
download certificates on the Internet (www.siemens.com/automation/csi_en).

3.3 Connection methods
All SIRIUS monitoring relays have spring-loaded connections. They make wiring quick and
maintenance-free, while also meeting high demands in terms of vibration and shock
resistance. If the cross-section of a connectable wire is greater than 6 mm², the forces
required for operation of the tension spring are so high that the spring-loaded connection can
no longer be used in a problem-free manner. For this reason, size S2 current monitoring
relays are only offered with screw-type or spring-loaded terminals in the control circuit. The
terminals of the main current paths are always screw-type terminals.
Image 3-1 Spring-loaded terminal
The conductors can be clamped directly or you can pre-treat them to add a form of splice
protection. This could involve attaching end sleeves or pin cable lugs to the ends of the
conductors; the tidiest solution is to use conductors whose ends have been sealed by means
of ultrasound.
The devices are equipped with a two-wire terminal, i.e. two independent connections for
each current path (exception: in the case of 3RR2, terminals of the main current paths have
one clamping point). Just one conductor is connected to each clamping point. The springloaded terminal presses the conductor against the busbar, which curves around inside the
terminal. The high contact pressure per unit area achieved in this way is gas-tight. The
spring-loaded terminal presses flat against the conductor, but does not damage it. The
spring force of the spring-loaded terminal has been dimensioned such that the clamping
force adjusts to the conductor diameter automatically. This ensures that any conductor
deformation caused by settling, creepage, or yielding is compensated for. The clamping
point cannot become loose of its own accord. This connection is vibration- and shock-proof.
Vibrations or shocks will not damage the conductor, nor will they cause contact separation.
These terminals are particularly well suited for use with machines and systems which are
subject to stresses such as these, e.g. vibrators, rail vehicles, and elevators.
The contact pressure between the conductor and the busbar is set to an optimum level, so
this clamp connection is appropriate for high-voltage applications, as well as for transferring
voltages and currents in the mV or mA range within instrumentation and electronic
components.
A standardized screwdriver (3 mm slot; 3RA2908-1A) is offered in the Catalog IC10
"Industrial Controls" (www.siemens.com/industrial-controls/catalogs) as an actuation tool for
opening the spring-loaded terminals.

3RR2 current monitoring relays are matched to 3RT2 contactors and 3RF34 (size S0) solidstate contactors in terms of their electrical and mechanical features. As a result, direct
mounting can be achieved easily.
Alternatively, the devices can also be installed individually in the case of stand-alone
assembly or if a 3RU2 / 3RB3 overload relay is being used at the same time. The
accessories required for separate mounting are described in Chapter "Terminal support for
stand-alone assembly (Page 324)."
The following minimum clearances from grounded and live parts must be complied with

The monitoring relays work with an electronic measuring method which calculates the actual
(effective) value of a measured value (tRMS), regardless of whether the measured variable's
waveform is purely sinusoidal or distorted.
The measured signal must only meet the following requirements:
● Periodic waveform (sinusoidal) within the specified frequency range
● Continuous zero crossings
As long as the line on the primary or the secondary side in the environment of a frequency
converter fulfills these requirements, the monitoring relays can also be operated upstream or
downstream of frequency converters. The required line quality can be ensured by using line
filters/sine-wave filters where applicable. Of course, the suitability of the relevant monitoring
relay for the monitored line frequencies must also be considered.

Product description
Overview
SIRIUS 3RR2 current monitoring relays are suitable for current monitoring of motors or other
loads. They are capable of two-phase or three-phase monitoring of the rms value of AC
currents, checking that the values do not overshoot or undershoot set thresholds.
SIRIUS 3RR2 current monitoring relays are available in the following variants:
● Basic version (3RR21): with analog setting using rotary buttons, two-phase monitoring
and CO contact.
● Basic version (3RR22): digital setting via a display, 3-phase monitoring, CO contact, and
semiconductor output; also monitors phase sequence, phase failure, ground fault and
blocking current
● Version for IO-Link (3RR24): same as standard version, but additionally with IO-Link
interface for direct interfacing to a PLC for remote parameterization, remote diagnostics,
cyclic transfer of measured values, support of the parameter server functionality of IOLink (with master as from specification V1.1), with integrated runtime and switching cycle
counter
You can find further information in the Manual "3UG48/3RR24 Monitoring Relays for IOLink".
Whereas apparent current monitoring is primarily used in the rated torque range or for
overload, active current monitoring can be used to observe and evaluate the degree of
loading across a motor's entire torque range.
Apparent current monitoring and active current monitoring are described in more detail in the
Chapter "Parameters (Page 363)".

4.1 Product description
3RR2 current monitoring relays are available in three sizes, S00, S0 and S2. 3RR2 current
monitoring relays are matched to 3RT2 contactors and 3RF34 (size S0) solid-state
contactors in terms of their electrical and mechanical features. They can be integrated in the
feeder by means of direct mounting. This eliminates the need for the main circuit to be wired
separately and no additional transformers are required.
For a stand-alone assembly or if an overload relay is being used at the same time, terminal
supports for stand-alone assembly are available for separate DIN rail mounting.
3RR2 current monitoring relays were conceived for monitoring 3-phase systems.
Depending on the device version used, monitoring of 1- or 2-phase AC systems is possible
with the following wiring variants:
• Residual current monitoring not possible (→ switch off)
• Phase sequence monitoring not possible (→ switch off)
• Active current monitoring not possible (→ switch off)
phases (3RR21) or the 3 phases (3RR22) are ORed to the
The accessories have been tailored to the current monitoring relays; they can be mounted
easily and without the need for tools. The accessories are described in the Chapter
"Accessories for 3RR2 current monitoring relays (Page 323)".

If the device is set to automatic reset, the CO contact and the semiconductor output will
respond once a previously occurring error has been dealt with and the reclosing delay time
has elapsed. A previously occurring error is, therefore, not saved.
If manual RESET is selected, the CO contact remains in the current switching state even if a
previously occurring error has been dealt with.

5.3 Functions
The 3UG4501 filling level monitoring relays and the connectable 2-pole or 3-pole 3UG3207-..
probes are used to monitor the filling levels of electrically conductive liquids.
The working principle of the 3UG4501 filling level monitoring relay is based on measurement
of the electrical resistance of the liquid between the probes (minimum and maximum level) or
the reference potential (conductive measurement principle). The output relay changes its
switching state if the measured value is below the sensitivity set on the front. The probes
(e.g. 3UG3207-..) are powered with alternating current (AC measured current) to exclude
electrolysis phenomena in the liquid.
and routing the cable, make sure
Depending on their design, the 3UG4501 filling level monitoring relays are powered with a
24 V AC/DC or 24 to 240 V AC/DC rated control supply voltage through terminals A1+ / A2-.

Tripping can be delayed by 0.5 to 10 s to avoid tripping the switching function too early when
the level has not quite been reached (e.g. wave motion or foaming of the liquid).
The switching states of the output relay are given below in the section entitled "Function
diagrams."

5.3 Functions
To monitor filling levels of electrically conductive liquids, the following probes can be
mounted on the 3UG4501 filling level relays.
● Three-pole wire electrode
● Two-pole wire electrode
● Two-pole bow electrode
● Single-pole bow electrode for side mounting
● Single-pole rod electrode for side mounting
These necessary accessories are described in Chapter "Probes for the 3UG4501 monitoring
relay (Page 329)."
to 200 kΩ (e.g. photoresistor,
-based position encoders, etc.) can also be connected. The
If the liquid level reaches the maximum probe while the minimum probe and reference probe
are immersed, the output relay changes its switching state. The output relay reverts to its
original switching state as soon as the minimum probe is no longer in contact with the liquid.
For closed loop control of only one level, the terminals for Min and Max are bridged on the
filling level monitoring relay. The output relay changes its switching state as soon as the
liquid level has been reached. The output relay reverts to its original switching state as soon
as the probe is no longer in contact with the liquid.
For reliable resetting, the rated control supply voltage must be interrupted at least for the set
delay time of +0.5 s.
When the rated control supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay returns to the quiescent
state when the power failure backup time has expired (contact 11-12 is closed, contact 11-14
is open). If the rated control supply voltage is switched on again after > 0.5 s + Delay ( t )
(device reset), the output relay switches depending on the set relay switching behavior.
