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.

Sealed Touch Pad Switches
Suitable for areas with space limitations, these switches have a low profile and a small footprint. They lay flat or mount to a wall. Typically used in start/stop and door opening applications, switches can also be placed underneath objects to alert when the object is removed. All have a sealed housing that resists water and alcohols (not suitable for continuous contact).
Optional mounting frames secure switches to a wall or bench top.
