CVP Signal Mats - Commercial duty, non-safety

CVP Switching Mats are designed for commercial control, signaling, and counting applications. They feature minimum thickness, maximum durability and low cost. These signal mats are flexible and conform to irregular surfaces, so installation is simple and straight-forward. They are water-resistant, but not immersible. Only 5 pounds of force is needed for operation.

CVP Switching Mats are not suitable for, and should not be used for, industrial safety applications or personnel protection.


		Features & Benefits
		Slimmest profile of any switching mat Only 5 lbs of force needed for operation Normally-open switches that close on contact Flexible and water resistant Concealable under carpeting or matting All models are UL listed

CVP Switching Mats use field-proven ribbon switch technology, which eliminates the need for plates or screen mesh switching elements. They operate as normally open switches and can be used to control relays, lights or alarms from a low voltage source. CVP Mats can function as hidden switches when placed under carpeting or matting.

All units are tested at 1 ampere, 115 volts ac. For floor switching, however, 24 volts or lower is strongly recommended.

Applications - Personnel sensing or detection:

Entrance annunciators for stores and offices Pedestrian Counting Display advertising lighting Foyer lighting control Cash register protection	Burglar and intrusion alarms Confessional booth signaling Check cashing photography Stairway lighting control Aged invalid alarm
