    Additional Guarding Requirements
    A safety mat system is often only one part of a machine guarding solution. If the safety mat does not protect all access to the point of operation, additional guarding must be used. Safety mat systems should only be used to detect the presence, not the absence, of a force.

    Perimeter Guarding Requirements
    For perimeter guarding installations, the guarded machine or robot controller must be wired such that any stop signal generated by the safety mat system will cause an immediate stop of the hazardous motion. The machine or robot must only be restarted by the actuation of a manual reset switch. This reset switch must be located outside the area of hazardous motion and positioned such that the hazardous area can be observed by the switch operator. The purpose of this arrangement is to prevent a machine or robot from automatically restarting once the sensing weight is no longer detected by the safety mat sensing area.

    Safety Standards and Precautions
    A Safety Mat controller is a general purpose, safety mat control device and is not designed for any specific type, model or brand of machine. All safety-related functions of the guarded machine controls including pneumatic, electric, logic or hydraulic controls must be control reliable.
    A Safety Mat controller when combined with a four-wire safety mat meets ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999, ANSI B11.19-2003 and the following applicable OSHA standards. When used with mechanical power presses, OSHA standard 1910.217(c) applies. For other applications the requirements of section 1910.212 apply.
    Only use a Safety Mat controller and four-wire safety mat system on machinery that stops consistently and immediately anywhere in its cycle or stroke. Never use a Safety Mat controller and four-wire safety mat system on a full-revolution clutched press or machine. Access to the point of operation or hazardous machine area not protected by the Safety Mat controller and fourwire safety mat system must be guarded by fencing, barriers or other appropriate methods.
    The purchaser, installer and employer are responsible for meeting all local state and federal government laws, rules, codes or regulations relating to the proper use, installation, operation and maintenance of this control and the guarded machine. See Installation and Operation Manual for details. All application examples described are for illustration purposes only. Actual installations will differ from those indicated.
