		Features & Benefits
		Industrial duty, pressure sensitive safety mat for personnel sensing applications Moisture, chemical and abrasion resistant for long life in factory settings Easy installation - no special floor preparation or add-on metal edging required Switching elements rated for several million cycles ensures long life 4-lead fail-safe wiring is standard

	Quick-Disconnect Option The Controlmat Safety Mat is available with a quick-disconnect option, which protects the mat if the leads are tugged on or otherwise overstressed. It also allows for the repair of damaged leads without replacing the entire mat. If the mat itself has to be replaced, the wiring can be left intact while allowing for the simple installation of a replacement unit.

	Optional Aluminum Edging Tapeswitch safety mats are supplied with a choice of edge styles and are necessary to comply with ANSI requirements. Aluminum edging is used to secure the safety mat to the floor and provide a wire chase for the leads. AE-3 edging also has a safety-yellow edge marking.

Field tested for more than twenty-five years, the surface of the Controlmat Safety Mat is both moisture and abrasion resistant. Ribbing on the top and bottom surfaces prevents water or oil buildup. The fully-protected switching elements are extremely rugged and reliable, with an operating life of several million cycles.

Controlmat safety mats are available with square or ramped edges. They are easy to install and require no special floor preparation or add-on metal edges, although these are available.
