Introducing MicroGuard, the revolutionary new lightcurtain. MicroGuard is thin in design, fits into tightspaces, uses reliable infrared technology, solid stateconstruction, is easy to install and continually visuallycommunicates the system status with operators andplant personnel.
The MicroGuard advantage is the advanced smartcontroller design that allows the operator and plantpersonnel to perform immediatevisual checks on the systemstatus. There are 50 diagnosticmessages which provide an exactdetermination of the MicroGuard’soperational status on a continualbasis. Messages are easilyviewed from the message displayon the front of the controller. Theoperator can verify the conditionof operation and status of thesystem at all times.
For the first time, the MicroGuard’sdesign allows a quick and easyresolution to system faults andmaintenance concerns.Constant communication betweenthe operator and the MicroGuard will save valuableoperating time by reducing machine down time. Theself-diagnostic capability allows the MicroGuard totrouble-shoot itself by identifying system faults. Thisconstant operating evaluation allows problems to beimmediately corrected. This ensures that eachMicroGuard user will get maximum machine utilization.
MicroGuard is user friendly. Simple cable hook-upsare used to activate the MicroGuard. Power iscommon 120VAC, 220VAC, or 24VDC. The thin profileis easily mounted in tight spaces and is available in
30 sizes that can be adapted to any application need.The thin profile pylons feature 1/2” (13mm) or 1”(25mm) beam spacing with an easy alignment feature.

Big on Safety/Small in Size
Diverse Redundancy Design ConceptThe MicroGuard safety light curtain utilizes the diverseredundancy design concept. This gives the safety lightsystem a higher level of redundancy and controlreliability. The two microprocessors are of differentdesign, and the microprocessor or parallel programsare run and made up from different instruction setswritten by different programmers.
Self-Checking CircuitryThe MicroGuard safety light curtain self-checks every20 milliseconds. Self-checking is the ability toelectronically verify that all of the systems’ criticalinternal circuit components and their redundantcounterparts or back-ups are operating properly.
Extra Safe DesignProvides two methods of cross monitoring design.One utilizes two microprocessors and two captivecontact relays and the other uses four watchdog timersmonitoring the system and the captive contact relays.
Redundant Captive Contact Safety RelaysRedundant relays assure safety if an output relayshould fail. The MicroGuard utilizes safety relayswhich have force-guided contacts. This is aconfiguration where the contacts are mechanicallylocked together so that if one set of contacts weld, theother contacts cannot change state. If one should fail,code “Relay Fault” will be displayed on the diagnosticmessage display. The complete guarding systemconsists of two miniature pylons with a controller forsystem diagnostics and wiring interface.
External Diagnostic Message DisplayStandard on all MicroGuard safety light curtains is the“External Diagnostic Display.”
Alphanumeric Plain English MessagesScrolling message display shows status and faultcodes of the unit. This is an excellent safety andmaintenance feature which is unparalleled in themachine guarding industry for enhancing machineutilization.
Control Reliable SystemCritical components of the MicroGuard are duplicatedso that a single component failure will not cause anunsafe condition. If a component does fail, the units’self-checking circuitry recognizes the situation andinitiates a safe stop of the machine. The fault is thendisplayed on the message display.
Powerful Infrared Light SourceThe MicroGuard safety light curtain utilizes powerful,safe, and predictable infrared light as its sensingsource. This gives the system greater reliability andenhances machine utilization by minimizing nuisancetrips and shutdowns caused by dirt, coolants,lubrication mists, and machine oils. The MicroGuard ishighly immune to EMI, RFI, and ambient lightconditions and are unaffected by strobe lights andweld flash generated light sources.
Extensive TestingThe MicroGuard safety light curtain incorporatesextensive testing and burn-in to establish a highdegree of product reliability and safety.

MicroGuard Smart ControllerWith the “Quickview Diagnostic Message Display”
The Smart MicroGuard Controller makes machine guardingsafer, easier to use, and enhances machine utilizationmeasurably. It is unique in the machine guarding industry forthe ability to constantly display the operating conditions of thesafety light curtain. The Controller informs the user of anyfaults, failures, and the current operating status of the safetysystem in plain English on the external message displaycenter. The message display is located on the front panel ofthe Controller (shown left). This gives the machine operatorand front line supervisor access to information quickly andsafely.
Sample Display Messages
The MicroGuard Controller diagnostics message display will show allfaults related to redundant circuitry, microprocessors, captive contactsafety relays, bad grounds, external infrared sources, shorts,blanking functions, etc. The Controller will also display the locationsof misaligned or obstructed beams and then count and display howmany beams have been obstructed. Additionally, if a printed circuitboard or component should fail, the faulty board and beam numberwill be shown on the display. The board then can be replacedquickly in the field, eliminating costly downtime.
The counting and displaying the number of beams blanked out isrequired information when determining the depth penetration factorfor proper installation of any light curtain.ANSI B11.19-1990.
Output Circuitry
Safety Output ConfigurationEvery MicroGuard comes standard with two Captive Contact SafetyRelays, auxillary relay, and fault relay. The metal box controller can beconfigured for a “Single Stop” circuit or a “Dual Stop” circuit output.
Single Stop Circuit SS - Both internal Safety Relays are wired inseries and the user is provided with one dry contact output. (Openwhen fault or blocked.) Supplied standard on the Metal Box (MG)Controller.Dual Stop Circuit DS - Each internal Safety Relay is wired separatelywhich provides the end-user with two separate dry contact outputs.(Both open when fault or blocked.) Add suffix DS to Metal Box (MG)Part Number.
The DIN-rail controller comes configured for a Dual Stop circuit with ajumper wire between outputs so that the user can wire into a SingleStop circuit system provided they wire both Safety Relays in series.
WARNING - Both safety relays in the dual stop configuration must bewired into the machine isolated stop circuits of the machine control.
Metal Box Controller Module StandardProvisions—designed to facilitate any guarding systeminterface and monitoring desired. Usage is optional.
CINCINNATI INTERFACE-with Red LED Indicator orEMERGENCY STOP INPUT (optional)DESCRIPTION: The Cincinnati Interface is provided to allow an
external device to determine if the light curtain isstill capable of shutting down the safety controlcircuit. The Cincinnati Interface allows anexternal device to override the light curtain andinitiate a RED condition and open up the standardoutput relay contacts.
APPLICATION: Cincinnati Press, PLC
EXTERNAL RELAY CHECK-with Green LED IndicatorDESCRIPTION: The External Relay Check allows the MicroGuard
to monitor a pair of external relays in series usingthe external relays secondary set of DRYcontacts, provided that they are N.C. force-guidedcontacts. The captive or force-guided contactswill maintain the identical positions as the primaryset of contacts on the external relays, except thatthe secondary set of contacts are wired to signalthe reverse of the primary (i.e., primary are N.O.and secondary are N.C.). The circuit looks forboth closing and opening of the external relaycontacts. The MicroGuard system is a safeexternal relay check.
APPLICATION: Monitoring external relay contacts for shorts oropens.
EXTERNAL VOLTAGE CHECK PROVISION-with Green LED indicatorDESCRIPTION: The External Voltage Check allows for the
MicroGuard to monitor voltage coming from anyoutside source as a condition for keeping the lightcurtain green. This option is very similar to theExternal Relay Check except that this operateswith high voltage so that it can be used to monitorother devices besides relay contacts.
APPLICATION: Monitor voltage at a solenoid, relay, etc.
AUXILIARY OUTPUT CONTACT PROVISIONSDESCRIPTION: The Auxiliary Output Contact provides both an
N.O. and N.C. isolated (DRY) contact output tosignal the condition of the light curtain. Theoutput is used in conjunction with the standardpair of output relays that are wired to the safetycircuit of the equipment.
APPLICATION: Signal to PLC, etc.
DATA INPUT/OUTPUT FOR USE WITH REMOTE PLC (optional)DESCRIPTION: This option allows the user to specify up to four
signal lines as either input and/or output lines forissuing remote commands to the MicroGuardand/or sending commands to a PLC.
APPLICATION: Use this option if you need to know object size orto use your PLC to program Auto-Blank, Floating-Blank, reset “Penetration,” adjust guarded area,etc. This option is programmed at the factory forthe user and is individually customized.

Auto-Blanking - (AB) OptionThe advanced “Auto Blank” option is unique because it willautomatically blank out only the required number of beams neededto accept an obstruction such as a conveyor, bracket, or fixture.The unit is easily programmed by a supervisory controlled four-position keyed selector switch located on the front panel of theMicroGuard Controller (shown left). The “Auto Blank” method ofblanking is much safer than DIP switch or master/slave blankingsystems because only the areas of the obstruction will be blanked.This feature prohibits unsafe oversizing of the blanked areacommonly found throughout the industry on manually blankedsystems. “Auto Blank” also eliminates the need to count beamsand to locate where and what beams are to be shut off to obtain thecorrect beam elevation to accept an obstruction. This information isdisplayed on the message display of the controller. “Auto Blank” willalso watch the obstruction and, if it moves or is removed, will go intoa “machine stop mode” to prevent further machine operation. Thisis an additional safety feature not available on manually blankedunits. These features truly enhance production while providing theultimate in safety.
When the key switch is turned to the “Auto Blank” function, the“External Diagnostic Message Display” will show the number ofblocked beams and where the obstruction is in the light curtain, thenverify that the obstruction is being monitored. This is requiredinformation for the depth penetration factor and for properinstallation of any safety light curtain.
The versatile “Auto Blank” (AB) blanking series includes:l Constant scan light curtainl One beam floating blank built-in plus “Auto Blank”
capabilityl Two “Auto Blank” modes - up to 8 beams blanked but
need not be sequentialA. One “Auto Blank” mode with keyed reset when
guarded zone is penetratedB. One “Auto Blank” mode with automatic reset
when guarded zone is penetrated
Floating Blank - (8K) OptionThe “Floating Blank” option provides the flexibility necessary toeffectively guard all types of equipment that require multiple floatingbeams. This is quite common in the fabricating industry where thework piece moves.
The “Floating Blank” permits work pieces to be formed vertically orhorizontally through the guarded area without shutting down themachine. Entry into the protected area by the operator or passerbywill prevent the start or, if the machine is in motion, will provide asignal to stop the machine.
The “Floating Blank” is controlled by a keyed selector switch that willallow a work opening of 2" (51mm) based on 1/2" (13mm) increments(shown left). This information is displayed on the message display ofthe controller. Blanking adjustments required when die heights changeare not necessary. The “Floating Blank” light curtain automaticallyadjusts to the various feed positions providing production withprotection.
The “Floating Blank” (8K) Option includes:
1/2" (13mm) - Constant scan light curtain
1" (25mm) - One floating beam
1-1/2" (38mm) - Two floating beams
2" (51mm) - Three floating beams

Formula for calculating lightcurtain safety distance
The effective sensing field of the device shall be located at a distance from the nearest recognized hazards such that the operator or otherscannot reach the hazard with a hand or other body part before cessation of motion during the hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
The point at which a device responds to an intrusion may vary. The devices should be located or adjusted such that the device alwaysresponds to the intrusion at or prior to the safety distance. Care should be exercised when installing the device to ensure that it does notdetect false signals from other devices in the area.
Usually the electro-optical presence-sensing device is used in a manner that provides a protected zone in front of the primary work area withauxiliary devices or guards used to protect secondary access areas. In some cases, however, mirrors may be used in conjunction with thedevice to provide 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-sided protection.
The machine stop time should be measured with the machine running at its fastest speed with its heaviest die or tooling and the stop timebeing measured at the 90° position in the downstroke.
The following formula should be used when calculating the safety distance:
Ds = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + D(pf)
Ds = Minimum safety distance between the device and the nearest point of operation hazard (in inches).K = Hand speed constant. This value has been determined by various studies and, although these studies indicate speeds of 63
in/sec to over 100 in/sec, they are not conclusive determinations. The employer should determine this value by considering allfactors, including physical ability of the operator.
Ts = Stop time of the machine tool measured by a stop time measurement device.Tc = Response time of the control system (usually is taken care of by the measurement device).Tr = Response time of the presence-sending device and it’s interface, if any, as stated by the manufacturer or measured by the
employer.Tbm = Additional time allowed for the brake monitor to compensate for variations in normal stopping time.D(pf) = Depth Penetration Factor. Added distance as indicated by the above chart. The minimum object sensitivity is stated by the
manufacturer.

EXTRA PYLON PROTECTION (OPTIONAL)
PT - Polycarbonate tube which will encase the pylons for high impact protection.

Model SS -- The Ultimate in Safety – Quality – Value
The Model SS is an infrared safety light curtain thatis designed to the IEC 61496 standard. Whenproperly installed, it protects the machine operator bypassing an invisible infrared light beam across anarea to be guarded and examining whether or not thelight beam(s) are blocked. If the light beam(s) areblocked, monitored solid state outputs will open,issuing a “STOP” command to the machines nor-mally closed (N.C.) “STOP” circuit.
The System is composed of a transmitting unit(EMITTER), and a receiving unit (RECEIVER). Theentire system is control reliable Category 4 (per IEC61496). A single fault anywhere within the Model SSwill not prevent at least one of the solid state outputsfrom opening up, (allowing a “STOP” command) wheneither a beam is broken or an internal fault occurs.
Theory of operation. The Model SS protects anarea by projecting a curtain of infrared light. Theinfrared emitters and receivers face each other acrossthe field to be protected. Each emitter/receiver pair isspaced along the length of the pylons at regularintervals from .5", up to 8" depending on the applica-tion. The smaller spacing are for finger guarding, thelarger spacing are for body protection.
The emitter/receiver pairs are scanned sequentially(one at a time) by a very short pulse of infrared lightstarting from bottom (cable end), and working up tothe top, until every beam pair has been scanned. Two16 bit computers in the emitter pylon and two 16 bitcomputers in the receiver pylon control the operation,as well as cross check each pylon.
The System. The Model SS employs infrared technol-ogy in a small sealed NEMA 4 aluminum housing withan infrared passing (daylight filtering) acrylic lens. Thissystem provides harmless invisible protection and anunobstructed view of the guarded area. There are twoparts to the Model SS: An Emitter pylon and a Receiverpylon. The Emitter pylon has no outputs, but doescontain a digital CAN data network to allow it to belinked to the Receiver pylon (although not required foroperation). The Receiver pylon contains the digital CANdata network and two monitored solid state 24vdcoutputs.
Both pylons are synchronized to each other either viathe CAN data network or electronically.
System Safety. The Model SS incorporates redundant, and diverse technology that provides abackup for every system that could cause an unsafecondition.
In the Emitter pylon, 1 CPU drives the Infrared LED’swhile the 2nd CPU monitors to assure proper signalsand timing. Improper operation from either CPU will turnoff the Infrared LED’s.
In the Receiver pylon, 1 CPU drives the Infrared receiv-ers while the 2nd CPU monitors to assure proper signalsand timing. Both CPU’s are required to drive the solidstate outputs as well as monitor the condition of theoutput. Either CPU can shut down both solid stateoutputs.
Signals shared between CPU’s are isolated from eachother to prevent a failure of 1 microprocessor causing afailure in the 2nd. Watchdog circuits on the solid stateoutputs automatically shut off the outputs should eitherCPU slow down or lock up.
Solid state outputs are turned on separately to bechecked and assure neither output has been shorted,before fully turning on.
Design Criteria. Designed to meet IEC 61496-1 & 2,UL 1998, UL subject 491, OSHA, ANSI, CSA,ANSI-RIA R15.06-1999

Blanking Options Model SSThe optional Remote Status Display (RSD)may be used in conjunction with the Model SSSafety Light Curtain. The RSD provides the machineoperator and front line supervisor immediate systemstatus and diagnostics when the Model SS ismounted inside the machine control panel. TheRSD also controls all blanking options directly fromthe panel location where it is installed.
Remote Status Display (RSD) Components:• Red/Green/Yellow indicator lights• Diagnostic scrolling message display with 5’
(1.5m) of connector cable• Keyed selector switch and yellow blanking
active indicator supplied if blanking is used
The RSD components are mounted on a steel plateand are designed to be exterior panel mounted. TheRSD option enhances safety and is a time saver atmachine set-up and when maintenance diagnosticsare required.
Floating Blank - (8K) OptionThe “Floating Blank” option provides the flexibilitynecessary to effectively guard all types of equipmentthat require multiple floating beams. This is quitecommon in the fabricating industry where the workpiece moves.
The “Floating Blank” permits work pieces to be formedvertically or horizontally through the guarded areawithout shutting down the machine. Entry into theprotected area by the operator or passerby will preventthe start or, if the machine is in motion, will provide asignal to stop the machine.
The “Floating Blank” is controlled by a keyed selectorswitch that will allow a work opening of 2” (51mm)based on 1/2” (13mm) increments. This information isdisplayed on the message display of the controller.Blanking adjustments required when die heightschange are not necessary. The “Floating Blank” lightcurtain automatically adjusts to the various feedpositions providing production with protection.
The “Floating Blank” (8K) Option includes:
1/2” (13mm) - Constant scan light curtain
1” (25mm) - One floating beam
1 1/2” (38mm) - Two floating beams
2” (51mm) - Three floating beams
The (RSD) device provides blanking scrolling operatordiagnostic message display and system status without entryinto the machine control panel. This saves time for lockout/tagout requirements and safeguarding blanking adjustments.
Cincinnati InterfaceDescription: The Cincinnati Interface is providedto allow an external device to determine if the lightcurtain is still capable of shutting down the safetycontrol circuit. The Cincinnati Interface allows anexternal device to override the light curtain andinitiate a RED condition and open up thestandard output relay contacts.Application: Cincinnati Press, PLC• Manual Latching Relay Provision
Auto-Blanking - (AB) OptionThe advanced “Auto Blank” option is unique becauseit will automatically blank out only the requirednumber of beams needed to accept an obstructionsuch as a conveyor, bracket, or fixture. The unit iseasily programmed by a supervisory controlled four-position keyed selector switch located on the frontpanel of the RSD Display. The “Auto Blank” methodof blanking is much safer than DIP switch or master/slave blanking systems because only the areas ofthe obstruction will be blanked. This feature prohibitsunsafe oversizing of the blanked area commonlyfound throughout the industry on manually blankedsystems. “Auto Blank” also eliminates the need tocount beams and to locate where and what beamsare to be shut off to obtain the correct beam elevationto accept an obstruction. This information isdisplayed on the message display of the controller.“Auto Blank” will also watch the obstruction and, if itmoves or is removed, will go into a “machine stopmode” to prevent further machine operation. This isan additional safety feature not available on manuallyblanked units. These features truly enhanceproduction while providing the ultimate in safety.
When the key switch is turned to the “Auto Blank”function, the “External Diagnostic Message Display”will show the number of blocked beams and wherethe obstruction is in the light curtain, then verify thatthe obstruction is being monitored. This is requiredinformation for the depth penetration factor and forproper installation of any safety light curtain.
The versatile “Auto Blank” (AB) blanking seriesincludes:
• Constant scan light curtain
• One beam floating blank built-in plus “AutoBlank” capability
• Two “Auto Blank” modes - up to 8 beamsblanked but need not be sequential
A. One “Auto Blank” mode with keyed resetwhen guarded zone is penetrated (latch)
B. One “Auto Blank” mode with automaticreset when guarded zone is penetrated

Perimeter Guards utilize wider beam spacing than safety lightcurtains protecting personnel from “pinch point” or “point ofoperation” hazard zones. Perimeter Guards are designed to detectwhen an operator or passerby penetrates the perimeter of ahazardous zone. The Perimeter Guard safety light curtain will theninitiate a stop signal to the machine control.
Perimeter Guards also incorporate latching safety relays. Thisrequires a manual reset after each penetration into the guardedzone. This is an additional safety feature to protect the intruderfrom an inadvertent machine actuation while the intruder is withinthe work area.

Punch Presses
The SLT Series isdesigned to accept coilstock movement with nopress shutdowns or
adjustments to the lightcurtain. No adjustments
are necessary to thelight curtain for die
height changes or fromautomatic to hand fed secondary
operations.
Robotic and Automation Multi-SidedGuarding Systems
Easily installed cornering mirrors, combinedwith the easy alignment characteristics of theSLT Series, provide multi-sided protectionwhich allows complete visibility and access tothe protected pinch point or hazardous zone fora fraction of the cost of physical barriers.
Press Brakes
The Floating Blank light curtain provides theflexibility necessary to effectively guard all types of
power press brakes. The Floating Blank permitswork pieces to be formed vertically orhorizontally through the guarded area withoutshutting down the machine. Entry into theprotected area by the operator or passerby
will prevent the start or, if the machine is inmotion, will provide a signal to stop the machine.
While other safety devices must be altered to allowmaterials to feed through, the Floating Blank is controlled by a keyedselector switch that will allow a work opening of up to 8cm based on 2cmincrements.
Blanking adjustments required when die heights change are notnecessary. The Floating Blank light curtain automatically adjusts to thevarious feed positions providing production with protection. The FloatingBlank light curtain adapts to mechanical, air clutch, and hydraulic pressbrakes.

The effective sensing field of the device shall be located at a distance from the nearest recognized hazards such that the operator or otherscannot reach the hazard with a hand or other body part before cessation of motion during the hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
The point at which a device responds to an intrusion may vary. The devices should be located or adjusted such that the device alwaysresponds to the intrusion at or prior to the safety distance. Care should be exercised when installing the device to ensure that it does notdetect false signals from other devices in the area.
Usually the electro-optical presence-sensing device is used in a manner that provides a protected zone in front of the primary work area withauxiliary devices or guards used to protect secondary access areas. In some cases, however, mirrors may be used in conjunction with thedevice to provide 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-sided protection.
The machine stop time should be measured with the machine running at its fastest speed with its heaviest die or tooling and the stoptime being measured at the 90° position in the downstroke.
The following formula should be used when calculating the safety distance:
Ds = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + D(pf)
Ds = Minimum safety distance between the device and the nearest point of operation hazard (in inches).K = Hand speed constant. This value has been determined by various studies and, although these studies indicate speeds of
63 in/sec to over 100 in/sec, they are not conclusive determinations. The employer should determine this value byconsidering all factors, including physical ability of the operator.
Ts = Stop time of the machine tool measured by a stop time measurement device.Tc = Response time of the control system (usually is taken care of by the measurement device).Tr = Response time of the presence-sending device and it’s interface, if any, as stated by the manufacturer or measured by the
employer.Tbm = Additional time allowed for the brake monitor to compensate for variations in normal stopping time.D(pf) = Depth Penetration Factor. Added distance as indicated by the above chart. The minimum object sensitivity is stated by
the manufacturer.

The STTS Safety Mat System™ is a technological paradigm in the field of presence-contact sensing/pressure sensitive safety mat systems. This revolutionary mat systemis a hybrid design that combines features to meet and surpass both domestic andinternational safety standards. Through its advanced technology and state-of-the-artdesign features, the STTS Safety Mat System sets a new World Class Standard forthe mat detection industry.
The
STTS system is a tactile sensorthat provides informationregarding the distribution andmagnitude of tactile forceapplied to its surface. Thispatented technology involvesthe continuous and variablemeasuring of tactile forces ofpressure. In some respects,tactile sensing for electro-mechanical devices isanalogous to the human senseof touch--information about theamount and distribution oftactile pressure over a surfacecan be received andtransmitted. When an objectcomes in contact with thesensor, tactile sensingprovides information about theobject's shape, texture,position, orientation,deformation, center of mass,and presence of torque orslippage. If you have specialneeds or applications for usesof the technology, please
contact the factory for ourintelligent products.
Unique Pulsed MatUnique Pulsed MatUnique Pulsed MatUnique Pulsed MatUnique Pulsed MatMonitoringMonitoringMonitoringMonitoringMonitoringAll STTS mats are homerunwired back to the controller andare continuously pulsed. Thisverifies that each safety mat iswired properly and is connectedto the mat controller. Unlikeopen switch steel mat systemsthe STTS controller pulses &monitors the safety system.This verifies that the mat wiringhas not been bypassed,jumpered or shorted outside ofthe control box and preventsagainst an automatic reset ofthe control (green) with anunsafe condition present.
Each STTS mat in the safetysystem has a specific value andaddress that must be
recognized and verified as theSTTS controller monitors thesafety zone. The STTScontinuous pulsed monitoringsystem provides a higher levelof safety mat guarding. Thispulsed system eliminates thepossibility of wire tampering orjumpering out of safety mats vs.open switch non-pulsedsystems.
This feature provides a uniformactivation threshold (on/offsignal) throughout the entire matsurface area. Our uniquedesign of uniform activationalso provides a guardingsystem that contains no deadzones. This provides the userwith a much safer guardingsystem as well as compliancewith domestic and internationalstandards.

Uniform ActivationTM

Uniform activation means thatthe “STTS SAFETY MATSYSTEM” has no dead zoneson the mat surface--it is 100%ACTIVE. Other mats that usedouble-backed foam tape, O-rings, or large perimeter seal-ing techniques for elementencasement create a deadzone around the entire perim-eter of the product. Deadzones are also found directlyabove and below the manysilicone spacers, elastomers,or insulators used as standoffswithin the element assembly offorce style mats. With theadvent of specific safety matpositioning and layout formulasbased on international safety
standards, the “STTS SAFETYMAT SYSTEM” gives you thepeace of mind of a mat detec-tion system with no dead zones.
An “Intelligent Mat” is the sameas the standard STTS safetymat--with the addition of apressure-activated, “on/off”analog-controlled switch sen-sor, for areas based on force/area (psi). An “Intelligent Mat”provides a broad understandingof the kind of tactile event that isoccurring and, in the same wayas the standard mat, is scalablebecause of its analog outputand natural psi characteristics.
What makes the “Intelligent Mat”unique is that it can be pro-grammed by varying the elec-trode pattern to determine wherethe contact has occurred on amultiple position basis (in width“x” and length “y”), and the basisof mass point loading (“z”).
This standard feature of the“STTS SAFETY MAT SYSTEM”enables the user to place themats side-to-side or end-to-end.Simply sliding the active couplerin place enables the active edg-ing feature of the “STTS SAFETYMAT SYSTEM.”This solves cumbersome mul-tiple mat installation problemsnormally associated with mats.It also eliminates the need forthresholds, closeout and unitingstrips that create dead zones,which increase substantiallyboth product costs and installa-tion time.
The “STTS SAFETY MATSYSTEM” is an excellentmethod for guarding machineareas such as the back of pressbrakes, assembly machineryaccess areas, deck runways,robotic areas, etc. In addition, the“STTS SAFETY MAT SYSTEM”can be custom fabricated toprovide an exact fit for thosehard-to-guard areas--often withonly one mat. It is also excellentfor OEM applications.

No, we don’t recommend puncturing theSTTS Safety Mat with nails (or, for that matter,shooting it with a .357 magnum, as shown onvideo at various international trade shows).These dramatic demonstrations, however,serve to show the exceptional durability of theSTTS Safety Mat System.

By providing greater sensitivityand uniform activation, the“STTS SAFETY MAT SYS-TEM” is in a class by itself.This true and uniform activa-tion threshold is unobtainablewith competitive “force-style”mats. Competitive mats nor-mally utilize insulators withintheir switching element asstandoffs and around theirperimeters as seals. Thesestandoffs or insulators createdead zones and require largeamounts of force to activatethe mat.
Because of our unique manu-facturing techniques andproduct versatility, we are ableto design a modular systemspecifically for your project.This means you can safelyguard the toughest of applica-tions in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our experi-enced factory personnel willmake sure detailed systemlayouts are completed withsafety and cost-effectivenessin mind. All aspects of theproject are reviewed includinglayout, shipping, and installa-tion. Safety is always para-mount to the project "systemdesign" scope.

Complete system monitoring on DeviceNet fieldbusnetworks. The STTS Mat Controller family is fullycompatible with the DeviceNet fieldbus and can beconnected directly into the fieldbus for non-safetymonitoring of system status. DeviceNet is theleading low-cost communications link that connectsa wide range of automated manufacturing devicesfor greater usability and convenience. MultipleSTTS Mat Controllers can be networked withnumerous other devices on a single DeviceNetnetwork. Add suffix DN to controller part numberfor this optional feature.
The STTS Mat Controllers utilize the diverseredundant design concept. When combined withthe advanced STTS Safety Mat System, thecontrollers provide compliance with OSHA,ANSI, RIA, CSA, and the European draftstandards EN954-1 and EN1760-1.
These standards dictate safety of machineryand the related parts of control systems andtheir pressure-sensitive protective devices.These standards focus on creating a faulttolerant system.
Control Reliable System—Criticalcomponents are duplicated so a singlecomponent failure will not cause an unsafecondition. If a component does fail, the self-checking circuitry recognizes the fault andinitiates a safe stop of the machine. The fault isthen displayed on the message display.
Self-Checking Circuitry—The STTS MatController will self-check every 20 milliseconds.Self-checking is the ability to electronicallyverify that all of the system's critical internalcircuit components and their redundantcounterparts or back-ups are operatingproperly.
Diverse Redundancy Design Concept—TheSTTS Mat Controllers utilize the diverseredundancy design concept. This gives the matsystem a higher level of redundancy and controlreliability. The two microprocessors are ofdifferent design, and the microprocessor orparallel programs are programmed fromdifferent instruction sets written by differentprogrammers.
Redundant Captive Contact SafetyRelays—Redundant relays assure safetyshould an output relay fail. The STTS MatController utilizes safety relays which haveforce-guided contacts. This is a configurationwhere the contacts are mechanically lockedtogether so if one set of contacts weld, theother contacts cannot change state.
Alphanumeric Diagnostic MessageDisplay—Scrolling message display showsstatus and fault codes. This is an excellentsafety and maintenance feature unparalleled inthe machine guarding industry for increasinguptime.
• Controller Layout—The STTS MetalBox control system can be orderedwith 1 to 3 separate output zones. Eachzone has 3 separate isolated drycontact outputs and user optionalexternal relay check. Up to 8 separatemat inputs allow any combination ofmats to control any combination ofzones and, at the same time, provideinstant information of faults via ascrolling diagnostic message displayand mat input indicators (LED's). Allsafety related faults cause a lockoutcondition requiring internal reset.

Circuit Description—Low voltage DC signal(+/- 20VDC) is pulsed to the mat simulating a24VAC signal through two wires. The wiresare attached to the top and bottom electrodes(internally) of the mat. Force on the mat lowersthe resistance between the two wires causinga drop in voltage. A second pair of wirescoming back from the mat is used to sense thisdrop in voltage. The redundant circuitscompare the voltage to a reference and shutdown the zone when the voltage drops belowthe reference. The circuit goes through a self-check to verify that the reference,comparators, mat, wiring, and other circuitsare all functioning normally every time it scansa mat input. Diverse redundant technology,provided by two different computers, controlsthe whole system and provides a higher levelof safety and system flexibility.
The following standard provisions aredesigned into both mat controllers tofacilitate the guarding systeminterface and monitoring desired(usage is optional):
External Relay Check Provision—TheExternal Relay Check allows the STTS MatController to monitor a pair of external relays inseries using the external relays secondary setof DRY contacts, provided they are N.C. force-guided contacts. The captive or force-guidedcontacts will maintain the identical position asthe primary set of contacts on the externalrelays, except the secondary set of contactsare wired to signal the reverse of the primary(i.e., primary contacts are N.O. and secondarycontacts are N.C.). The circuit looks for bothclosing and opening of the external relaycontacts. The STTS Mat Controller provides asafe external relay check.
Application—Monitoring external relaycontacts for shorts, opens, or weldedcontacts.
Auxiliary Output Contact Provision—TheAuxiliary Output contact provides a N.O. orN.C. isolated (DRY) contact output to signal thecondition of the mat system. The output is usedin conjunction with the standard pair of outputrelays that are wired to the safety circuit of theequipment.
Application—Signal to PLC, etc.

How to Properly Size YourSafety Mat Guarding System
The following formula is aninternational draft guideline forthe proper positioning andapplication of safety mats formachine guarding. This formulamust be followed for all safetymat applications supplied to theEuropean Community (CE)member nations. CEN is theEuropean Committee forStandardization. Final draft#prEN999.
The minimum distance from the dangerzone shall be calculated by using thegeneral formula:
S = (K x T) + C
S is the safety mat minimum distance ininches/millimeters in a horizontal plane,from the danger zone to the detectingedge of the safety mat furthest from thedanger zone.
K is a parameter in inches/millimetersper second, derived from data onapproach speeds of the body or parts ofthe body. K = 63 inches/second or 1600mm/second.
T is the total system stopping timeperformance, which includes activatingthe safety mat, the mat controller outputsignal switching device, and the timerequired to stop the machine andremove risk.
C is an additional distance in inches/millimeters, based on intrusion towardsthe danger zone prior to actuation of theprotective safety mat equipment. C =48" (1219mm).
Annex B (informative)
Walking speeds and stride lengths.The positioning of equiment which isactivated by a person walking into thedetection zone by stepping onto apressure senstive mat is affected byspeed of approach and stride length.The walking speed and stride lengthdepend on the physical andanthropometric data of the population.
Speed of Approach. This standadassumes the approach of personstowards the danger zone will be atwalking speed.
Stride Length. Available researchdata has shown that the 95thpercentile of two steps (i.e., startingand finishing with the same foot)measured from heel contact at walkingspeed is approximately 7" (1905mm).By dividing by two and subtracting the5th percentile shoe length provides astride length of 28" (711mm). If it isassumed that an allowance has to bemade, for example, between thedetection zone and the stride length of2" (50mm) this gives a minimum widthof 30" (762 mm) for the detection zone.

QuestionsQuestionsQuestionsQuestionsQuestions for the Rigid “Steel Electrode” Safety Mat
1. How are rust pockets (dead zones) monitored within the mat switching electrode?
2. How much can you bend a steel mat before it kinks the steel electrode and shorts out (fails)?
3. How flexible is the system for specials, unique sizes, and wire exits?
4. What happens when a heavy load (fork truck) rides along side a raised elastomer that distorts the steel andshorts out the electrode?
5. What happens when the steel used in the electrode element isn’t perfectly flat?
6. Does the steel electrode have a pocket of air (oxygen = rust) between the two steel electrodes?
7. What happens when a steel electrode mat is installed on uneven floors?
8. Does the steel electrode mat manufacturer pull a vacuum and inject an inert gas between the steel electrodeswitch assembly to assure that no oxygen is exposed to the steel electrode to prevent rusting?(Remember, oxygen = rust, rust = dead zones, and dead zones = loss of safety)
9. What happens when the vacuum seal is broken?
10. What happens when the elastomer’s glue releases and slides out of position?
11. How many switch cycles can be made at the same point before carbon deposits are created by arcing?
FFFFFactsactsactsactsacts on the Use of “Steel Electrode” Safety Mats
Tired of rigid electrode (steel or copper) style mats? No wonder, steel electrode safety mats were designed inthe mid 1950’s. Some of their disadvantages include:
• Bend with subsequent short outs, especially in the corners of steel mats.
• Naturally rust which creates dead zones.
• Have multiple dead zones on the mat surface where elastomers are installed.
• Cannot handle heavy loads.
• Fail at a high rate.
• Are not flexible.
• Have limited sizes available.
• Are heavy and awkward to install.
• Require multiple wiring connections buried in perimeter trim.
• Require long lead times for special sizes and shapes, if possible at all.
• Have limited wire exit positions available.
• Are extremely difficult to troubleshoot a daisy chained system.
• A punctured steel mat immediately shorts out and will fail due to the metal roll over at the point ofpuncture.
• Continued switching in the same area “arcing” creates carbon deposits and potentially creates a deadzone and an unsafe condition.
• Steel mats are not PSI based switches but rather “force” related switching.
• Cannot be installed on uneven floors.

System Overview
The Safety Mat Systemcontrollers contain two independentcontrol circuits which allow for shut downdue to any single failure in one of thecontrol circuits. The N.O. output circuitis controlled by two captive contactrelays in series which are bothmonitored. If the contact in one relayshould stick closed (i.e., contact weld),the other relay will shut down and theLED will indicate the fault; if the contacton the bad relay opens back up, youmust reset the power to clear the fault.This relay contact monitoring provides ahigh degree of user safety.
Circuit DescriptionA low voltage (24VAC or 24VDC)
signal is sent out to the safety mat(s)through two wires. Two special optically-isolated diverse redundant circuits lookat the signals coming back from themat(s) detecting the presence of properpositive and negative voltage (AC) levelsand output their signals to redundantmissing pulse detectors. If the voltagecoming back is too high or low, themissing pulse detectors will drop out andde-energize the relay circuit. If thevoltage coming back is not AC (missingeither positive or negative peaks), thenthe signal going to the missing pulsedetector will disappear which will, in turn,drop out and de-energize the relaycircuit.
Redundant relay position detectorswatch for a relay contact stuck in thewrong position. The circuits will lock outthe reset feature of the control unitif a relay contact is closed when it shouldbe open.
Each relay has its own driver circuit tocomplete the redundancy of the circuits.

Sizing Your Safety Mat SystemHow to Properly Size your NSD Safety Mat System
The following formula is a domestic and international guideline for theproper positioning and application of safety mats for machine guarding. Thisformula must be followed for all safety mat applications supplied to theEuropean Community (CE) member nations. CEN is the EuropeanCommittee for Standardization. Final draft #prEN999. The formula is alsoincorporated in ANSI/RIA Standard R15.06-1999.
The minimum distance from the danger zone shall be calculated by usingthe general formula:
S = (K x T) + C
S is the safety mat minimum distance in inches/millimeters in a horizontalplane from the danger zone to the detecting edge of the safety mat furthestfrom the danger zone.
K is a parameter in inches/millimeters per second derived from data onapproach speeds of the body or parts of the body. K = 63”/second (1600mm/second).
T is the total system stopping time performance which includes activatingthe safety mat, the mat controller output signal switching device, and thetime required to stop the machine and remove risk.

Ordering ProcedureSpecify controller model number and quantity desired.
C is an additional distance in inches/millimeters, based on intrusion towardsthe danger zone prior to actuation of the protective safety mat equipment.C = 48" (1219mm).
Annex B (informative)
Walking speeds and stride lengths. The positioning of equipment whichis activated by a person walking into the detection zone by stepping onto apressure sensitive mat is affected by speed of approach and stride length.The walking speed and stride length depend on the physical andanthropometric data of the population.
Speed of Approach. This standard assumes the approach of persons towardsthe danger zone will be at walking speed.
Stride Length. Available research data has shown the 95th percentile of twosteps (i.e., starting and finishing with the same foot) measured from heel contactat walking speed is approximately 75" (1905mm). By dividing by two andsubtracting the 5th percentile shoe length this gives a stride length of 28"(711mm). If it is assumed that an allowance has to be made (for example,between the detection zone and the stride length of 2"/50mm), this gives aminimum width of 30" (762mm) for the detection zone.

The Industrial Problem ofCumulative TraumaDisorders (CTDs)and Carpal TunnelSyndrome (CTS)
WhatUltraTouch®
Does For You
BenefitsHuman Factor Engineering (Ergonomics)UltraTouch® has been designed to interact with theoperator, machine operation, and the work place in a safeand efficient way. This effective design of equipment willbe most helpful in the controlling of Carpal TunnelSyndrome and other Cumulative Trauma Disorders.
Productivity IncreasesIncreases in productivity are achieved by a reduction inoperator fatigue and operator injury along with basicproduction line cycle time decreases.
Employee MoraleEasier job related actions and movements with both workmethods analysis and ergonomic checklist analysisprovide a healthier and more positive work environment.
Fatigue ControlEase of safe machine activation enables the machine
operators to utilize their energy for more productiveefforts. The reduction of fatigue is an essential elementwhen trying to control Cumulative Trauma Disorderssuch as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
The patented soundergonomic design criteria ofUltraTouch® advances machinecycle initiation into the 21stcentury. The UltraTouchsystem has been designed so themachine operator can initiatethe machine cycle with theirhand and wrist area in theneutral position and with noexertion of force or pressure.
This minimizes hand,wrist, and arm stresses relatedto the potentially harmfulextension and flexion positionsof the hand required to activateconventional spring-loadedpalm buttons. No flexing ofthe wrist is necessary withUltraTouch.
Wrist and hand positionsare most important as contrib-uting elements of CarpalTunnel Syndrome. Wristposition is important because itaffects the length and tensionrelationship of contractingmuscles. As the angle of thejoint (wrist) increases ordecreases beyond its midpoint(neutral position), there is aproportional decrease in themachine operators effectivestrength. This means thatmore exertion or tendon tensionis required to do a task with abent wrist than the same taskwith the wrist in the neutralposition. Hand and wristposture along with forcerequired are base contributingelements to Carpal TunnelSyndrome.

Median Nerve
Red shaded areas normally affected by symptons of carpal tunnel syndrome,which include tingling or burning sensation, clumsiness, hand pain andnumbness.
What are Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs)?Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) is the mostcommon term used to refer to the diseases related to theupper limbs. Similar terms used to describe these problemareas are:
• repetitive strain injuries• occupational cervicobrachial disorders• occupational overuse syndromes
Cumulative Trauma Disorders are caused by repetitivestresses on a particular body part after periods of jobrelated micro-trauma. Basically there are three types ofinjuries to the machine operator. These injuries includenerve disorders, tendon disorders or neuro-vasculardisorders.
Nerve Disorders-Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
Common Tendon Disorders-Tendinitis, Tenosynovitis,DeQuervain's disease, Stenosing Tendsynovitas, StenosingTenosynovitas Crepitans.
Neurovascular Disorders-Thoracic outlet syndrome.

Economic JustificationThere are substantial costs related to Carpal TunnelSyndrome versus the costs and benefits to prevent them.Various factors that can be incorporated into the analysisare reduced overhead costs, employee morale, reductionsin non-productive time, and improved productivity.Factors involved with overhead expense may include:medical costs, compensation costs, lost productivity dueto injuries, absenteeism, and labor turnover.
Workman's Compensation Cost ControlUltraTouch can reduce the costs related to CumulativeTrauma Disorders in relation to Workman'sCompensation Insurance claims. Both medical anddisability costs can be reduced with the control of CarpalTunnel Syndrome.
The actual costs of Cumulative Trauma Disorders andCarpal Tunnel Syndrome are actually higher than thosecovered by Workman's Compensation Insurance.Insurance does not cover medical treatments rendereddirectly by the employer, and many employeessupplement the disability coverage provided by theinsurance carrier. Additional costs are incurred whenexpenses are paid for by the injured worker or bycomprehensive health insurance, which may be providedby the employer as a fringe benefit.
Reduced MaintenanceThe solid state design of UltraTouch assures long life whencompared to conventional spring-loaded mechanicalpalm buttons. The only component with a moving part isthe industrial grade captive contact safety relay, and it israted for an excess of 10 million cycles and is easilyreplaceable.
The UltraTouch module is designed to be a directreplacement into existing operator run bar stations whichis a true maintenance and installation time saver.
ApplicationsThe UltraTouch system is designed to activate electric,pneumatic, air clutch, and hydraulic equipment such aspunch presses, press brakes, molding machines, assemblyequipment, tube benders, compacting presses, riveters,etc. Virtually any machine that is currently usingconventional mechanical spring-loaded palm buttons cannow utilize the sound ergonomic design of UltraTouch.
Reference—Hand andWristPositions
The machine operator’sreference hand and wristpositions illustrate the degree ofwrist deviation (bending)expressed as a percentage ofhand power grip as measured inthe neutral (natural) position.The UltraTouch system utilizesthe premier ergonomic position ofneutral, 0º deviation and 100%hand power for the machineoperator.
The photo shows anoperator’s hand actuating theUltraTouch module with thecorrect ergonomic hand position.
The hand is at rest with noangle or bending at the wristjoint and the hand is at the“thumbs up” position. Thisis the same natural hand andwrist position that ismaintained when ones armsare at rest hanging at theirside. There is no need to cupand curl the fingers or to rollthe wrist to actuate theUltraTouch system.
This further illustrates thetotal advanced ergonomicengineering displayed by theUltraTouch design.
The UltraTouch systemnegates these problems bypermitting the machine operatorto activate the machine with noforce or pressure and with theoperators hand and wrist in thepremier ergonomic position ofneutral, 0º deviation and100% hand power position.
UltraTouch eliminates thenormal pressure required formachine activation withconventional palm buttons ofthe median, ulnar and radialnerve at the wrist and handarea.
UltraTouch also permits themachine operator to activate themachine cycle with or withouthand protection devices such assplints and even heavy metalfabrication work gloves.

UltraTouch® DesignThe patented UltraTouch® system has been designed asa direct replacement for standard spring-loadedmechanical palm buttons and is designed to fit intoexisting operator palm button stations withoutmodification.
The UltraTouch enclosure is a molded high strengthNEMA 4 polycarbonate module designed to meet thehigh impact and vibration requirements of industry. Thesolid state electronics of the UltraTouch switchincorporates an advanced redundant diverse sensordesign. This means that each module has two differentsensors with isolated circuits along with a monitoringredundant circuit. The circuitry of UltraTouch is alsodesigned to provide second-order failure protection. Thisgives the UltraTouch an unparalleled level of safety andassurance against inadvertent actuation, or failing in the"on" or conducting mode, which is a common problemfound throughout industry with competitive ergonomicswitch replacements. The UltraTouch design is so safeagainst inadvertent actuation that two UltraTouch moduleswhen spaced and located properly in accordance toOSHA and ANSI hand control distance formulas (the
same formula is used for mechanical palm buttons),permit its use as an operator safety two-hand controldevice. The UltraTouch dual dissimilar sensor format isdesigned for the machine operator to actuate the switch,and that no inadvertent foreign objects such as sleeves,insects, broomsticks, playing cards, rags, mists or dropletscan activate or trigger the switch. This gives UltaTouch anunparalleled level of safety while giving the operator thebenefit of using the correct ergonomic hand position ofneutral, 0º deviation and 100% hand power.
UltraTouch ConfigurationThe UltraTouch dual dissimilar sensor ergonomic palmswitch is configured in the following manner:
A U-shaped sensors actuation channel (shown below)provides a triggering point for the machine operatorshand. This is where the invisible infrared light beam islocated and is crossing the channel. There is also a uniqueU-shaped location sensor mounted on the inside of theUltraTouch enclosure that hugs the sensor channel and isinsulated by the enclosure itself. When the machineoperator inserts their hand into the sensor actuationtunnel, both the infrared sensor and the location sensormust be satisfied in order to energize an electro-

mechanical relay to send a cycle start signal to themachine. Both individual sensors within each moduleare time interlocked, and if both sensors are nottriggered concurrently by the operator’s hand, theUltraTouch output will be inhibited to the machinecontrol. The module also contains two visible LEDindicators which informs the status of the UltraTouchmodule to the operator. A green LED indicates that therelay contacts are closed, both sensors have beenactivated, and no failures have been detected. The redLED indicates that the relay contacts are open and nosatisfactory conditions were detected on both sensors.This advanced patented UltraTouch design is notavailable on any competitive unit and gives theUltraTouch user an unparalleled level of safety whenusing ergonomic zero force actuation devices.Additionally, the operator will be activating themachine properly by using the correct ergonomic handposition of neutral, 0º deviation, and 100% handpower.
Easy to InstallUltraTouch installs with ease and comes with complete
installation instructions.Simple module design permits direct exchange for
existing spring-loaded mechanical palm buttons and evenutilizes the existing screw holes on the run bar. All systemshave normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.)contacts, and are also available in a four pole wiringconfiguration depending on the machine controlrequirements.
