Complete coverage of hazardous area. Mat must be permanently affixed to the floor. Ramp trim to prevent tripping is required. “No Dead Zones”. Remember safety distance calculation. Four (4)-wire construction is required. Safety mat must be used with a “control reliable” safety mat controller. Response time shall be specified on the controller. The maximum response time must be less than 100ms over the system operating temperature range. Mat must have a minimum object sensitivity, which detects 30-kg (66-lb.) weight on an 80-mm (3.125-inch) diameter circular disk anywhere on the mat sensing surface. Safety mat system shall be installed and arranged such that the reset of the safety function requires removal of the obstruction from the sensing surface followed by a separate and deliberate action outside of the sensing surface, when used as the sole means of safeguarding. The safety mat system must provide a means for a readily observable indication that the device is operating. • Safety
