Description and Operation

Mat Identification

Each mat has one rating plate located on the back side of the mat. The approval certifies that
the product conforms to the technical examination endorsement issued by the listed notified
body and is valid in Europe and other countries.
The rating plate (see figure 1-2) contains the following information:
• Catalog listing
• Size and sealing
• Date code (year - month) and serial code
• Approvals
• Detection sensitivity and response time of sensor (ms)

Theory of Operation

The FF-SM Series product is a pressure sensitive protective system designed to detect an
operator inside a work area. This protective equipment will stop any dangerous machine
motion when the safety mat is activated. The FF-SM Series has been designed in compliance
with the EN 1760-1 European Standard (« Safety of machinery - Pressure sensitive protective
devices - Part 1 : General principle for the design and testing of pressure sensitive mats and
pressure sensitive floors »).
Safety Mat (sensor)
The sensor uses an infrared modulated light source spread by a fiber optic cable and
operates in a positive break light mode. The presence of a load greater than 30 kg (66.1 lb.)
on any point of the sensing surface will bend the mat's fiber optic cable. The loss in signal
due to this bending de-energizes the control unit's positive guided output relays and initiates
an emergency stop signal to stop the machine's dangerous movement.
Fiber optic technology allows longer connections than electrical wires. Up to five nitrile mats
or four aluminum mats can be connected in series and monitored by one control unit.
