Recora Neptune NF-2 Foot Switch - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
The Recora Switchmat system is a pressure sensitive mat system designed for use as a
safety product in an industrial environment. The system provides the detection of a
presence in the protected work cell or perimeter.
Before installing your Recora Switchmat system, please read this information in full.
All installation procedures should be carried out by trained and qualified personnel and
should be in accordance with all safety regulations.
Presence sensing mats and controllers used to guard machinery and equipment are
regulated by government agencies, such as OSHA and ANSI. The responsibility of
compliance for a machine application, presence sensing mat and controller is in the hands
of the employer. The employer is responsible for proper installation, maintenance, and
training of users of safety devices. When a Recora presence-sensing mat and controller
are used to protect personnel from machinery or other hazards, it is the employers'
responsibility to meet all local, state, and federal regulations.
Warning!
The entire machine safety system must be tested at the start of every shift.
Machine testing should include proper machine operation and stopping
capability and verification of proper installation and settings of all operation
guards and devices before the operation is released for production.
