The pressure sensitive mat system is designed for use as a safety product in an industrial environment
by professional personnel. It provides protection against risks which can be
eliminated by the isolation of electrical power when an operator is in the vicinity of the hazard. This
manual covers the installation and use of all parts of the system including special shapes and sizes of
sensor mats. All installation procedures should be carried out by suitably trained and
qualified personnel and should be in accordance with statutary requirements for safety. READ THIS
MANUAL IN FULL BEFORE INSTALLATION. After installation this manual should be retained in a safe
and accessible place. For further assistance please contact the supplier.
