Cut-to-Length Low-Profile Switch Mats

Customize the length of these switches by cutting them from a 25-foot roll. The width cannot be cut. At only 3/32" thick, they fit under carpeting or anywhere else you want to hide them. Mats have bare wires that solder or crimp to a connector.

Low-Profile Strip Switches

These narrow switches are also thin enough to be hidden under carpeting or installed anywhere space is limited. Actuate them anywhere along the length of the switch.

Optional mounting channels secure switches to a flat surface.

Cut-to-Length Low-Profile Strip Switches

Customize the length of these switches by cutting them from a 50-foot roll. They're narrow and thin, so they can be hidden under carpeting or installed anywhere space is limited. Actuate them anywhere along the length of the switch. A complete system includes a strip switch and a termination kit (sold separately).

Optional mounting channels secure switches to a flat surface.

Use surface fillers for vinyl fabric (not included) to seal ends.

Safety Switch Mats

Prevent personnel from getting too close to dangerous equipment when equipment is on—these mats turn equipment off when someone steps on them or when a fault is detected. A complete switch requires a mat and a controller (sold separately). Together they meet ANSI/RIA R15.06 safety requirements. Mats are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

Optional frames secure mats to the floor. Punch holes in the frame to insert a screw anywhere along the length.

Heavy Duty Safety Switch Mats

Thicker than standard safety switch mats, these can withstand repeated impact from heavy and sharp objects. They turn equipment off when stepped on or when a fault is detected, preventing personnel from getting too close to dangerous equipment when equipment is on. A complete switch requires a mat and a controller (sold separately). Together they meet ANSI/RIA R15.06 safety requirements. Mats are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

Optional frames secure mats to the floor. Punch holes in the frame to insert a screw anywhere along the length.
