Safety Contact Mat ASK

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Safety Contact Mat ASK is designed to safeguard hazardous areas around machinery by triggering a control signal to stop potentially dangerous movements when stepped on. It is constructed with a polyurethane material that is resistant to oils, water, and dirt, and features an anti-slip surface. Optional checkered surfaces in aluminum or stainless steel are available for high mechanical demand areas.

Construction: The mat consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating layer, all encased in polyurethane. It includes two cable exits with M8 male and female plugs. The mat can be mounted using optional aluminum ramp rails RS 14 or BS 14 for flush floor installation.

Signal Processing: The mat is equipped with two two-core connecting cables, allowing for series connection of up to 10 mats, covering a maximum area of 10 m². The system includes a terminal resistance of 8.2 KΩ for monitoring the circuit integrity.

Installation Guidelines: Mats should be laid flat with the base plate downwards and must not be altered. They should be joined end-to-end and electrically connected, ensuring the resistance value is 8.2 KΩ ± 2% when unactuated. The mounting surface must be even, clean, and dry.

Technical Specifications: The maximum dimension is 2500 mm x 1400 mm, with standard sizes available. The construction height is 14 mm, and the mat can withstand a static load of up to 2000 N. It operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to +60 °C and is maintenance-free, though annual functional testing is recommended.

Additional Components: The ramp rail RS 14 and mounting rail BS 14 provide secure mounting options. Covers are available in various materials, including oil-resistant rubber and aluminum, with special covers or colors available upon request.

Assembly Instructions: The ramp rail must be shortened for corner connectors, and the cable should be safely guided through the cable duct. The mat should be fixed to the floor using suitable screws and dowels, ensuring cables are not pinched.

Data sheet Safety Contact Mat ASK ! Lay out and position the mat correctly with the base plate downwards. Mats may not be broken or bent. Safety- Contact-Mats may not be changed in any way. Cut outs or shortening is not possible. The mats shall be joined end-to-end when laying several mats together. Then connect up the mats electrically and check the electrical resistance. With un-actuated mat, the resistance value must amount to 8,2 kW ± 2%. During cable laying inside the ramp- and/or in the mounting rail pay attention that the cable is not pinched.
