• When UMQ series mats are combined with an MC3, MC4 or
MC6 controller (with complete diagnostics), the result is a sys-
tem that meets the standard EN 1760-1:1998 and is entitled to
display the CE mark. See below for an overview of the various
components.

• Two options for trim kit corners: Mitered and molded Full visibility and access to the work area is maintained. There is
no need to worry about personnel forgetting to replace mechanical
barriers or close gates.
STI UMQ Series safety mat incorporates a design that features a
cable quick disconnect located on the mat. This allows the cable
to be attached after the mat is installed in order to minimize dam-
age to the cable during installation. The new patented connector is
designed and tested to meet IP67 requirements.
