WARNING: Not a Stand-Alone Safeguarding Device
This device is considered complementary equipment that is used to augment safeguarding that limits or
eliminates an individual's exposure to a hazard without action by the individual or others. Failure to
properly safeguard hazards according to a risk assessment, local regulations, and relevant
standards may lead to serious injury or death.

  • Page 2 MAX1524 and MAX2324 Safety Mat Monitoring Modules Overview Safety Mat Monitor Modules MAX1524 and MAX2324 (the "Safety Module") are used to verify the proper operation of 4- wire presence-sensing switching mats (sensors). Multiple mats may be switched in series to one Safety Module. The Safety Module provides the redundant safety outputs required for creating a control-reliable safety circuit.
  • Page 3 MAX1524 and MAX2324 Safety Mat Monitoring Modules Safety Circuit Integrity and ISO 13849-1 Safety Circuit Principles Safety circuits involve the safety-related functions of a machine that minimize the level of risk of harm. These safety- related functions can prevent initiation, or they can stop or remove a hazard. The failure of a safety-related function or its associated safety circuit usually results in an increased risk of harm.
  • Page 4 MAX1524 and MAX2324 Safety Mat Monitoring Modules The sensor must meet a minimum environmental rating of IP54. When the sensor is specified for immersion in water, the sensor’s minimum environmental rating must be IP67. Special attention may be required to the interconnect cabling;...

    MAX1524 and MAX2324 Safety Mat Monitoring Modules Separation Distance As a stand-alone safeguard, the sensor must be installed at a separation distance (safety distance) such that the exterior edge of the sensing surface is at or beyond the safety distance, unless solely used to prevent start/restart or solely used for clearance safeguarding (see ANSI B11.19).

    ISO 12100). The Safety Module is powered by either a 12-24 V dc supply at 4 W or an ac supply (115 V ac, model MAX1524, or 230 V ac, model MAX2324) at 7 VA. The sensor circuit, which monitors the conductive elements (plates) of the safety mat, consists of two channels (A and B) that issue a stop command (that is, open the safety outputs) when an individual steps onto the safety mat, shorting the two channels together.
  • Page 7 MAX1524 and MAX2324 Safety Mat Monitoring Modules NOTE: The minimum amount of time for the Module to detect a STOP condition is 15 milliseconds. This "recovery time" (OFF state) is required for the internal integrity tests to complete, allowing a reliable reset to occur.

    MAX1524 and MAX2324 Safety Mat Monitoring Modules Connection of Reset Switch The reset circuit switch can be any mechanical switch, such as a normally open momentary switch, or a two-position key switch. The reset switch must be capable of reliably switching 12 to 30 V dc at 20 to 50 milliamps. As shown in the hookup drawings, the reset switch connects between Safety Module terminals S33 and S34.

  • Page 10 MAX1524 and MAX2324 Safety Mat Monitoring Modules WARNING: Wiring of Arc Suppressors If arc suppressors are used, they MUST be installed as shown across the actuator coil of the stop control elements (MSCs or MPCEs). NEVER install suppressors directly across the output contacts of the Safety Device or Module.
