• 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.

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.

How the System Works


The operation of a Quick-Disconnect Universal Mat system is
easy to understand. The mat is a simple, normally open switch.
When a specified minimum weight is applied to the mat the
"switch" closes. This sends a signal to the controller which, in turn,
sends a stop signal to the guarded machine.
Each mat presents four wires to the controller. This provides the
redundancy required to monitor the wiring for open circuits due to
incorrect wiring or physical damage to the wires.
In order to meet many national safety regulations, STI offers trim
to secure the mat to the floor so that it cannot be easily relocated
and therefore become ineffective.

Two-Part Active Joining Trim


Similar in concept to the two-part ramp trim, this trim provides
an "active" joint where the perimeters of two mats adjoin each
other. When a person steps on the surface cover of the active
joining trim, the Universal Mat system will detect their presence
and send a stop signal to the guarded machine.

Aluminum Blunt Trim


Used to finish off the edge of a mat installation near a wall or
machine. Helps hold mats in place.

Aluminum Ramp Trim


This single part aluminum ramp trim is available for areas where
the two part ramp trim may not be suitable.

Safety Mat Controllers
The MC Series safety mat controllers are used in conjunction
with a four-wire, normally open, safety mat where perimeter guard-
ing is required. These control reliable controllers send a stop
signal to the guarded machine when an object of sufficient weight
is detected on the active mat area.
The MC Series controllers, when combined with a four-wire
UM or UMQ series mat, provide access guarding and improved
productivity. The work area is fully visible and accessible.
The controller meets the requirement of EN 1760-1:1998,
EN 13849-1, ANSI/RIA 15.06-1999 (R2009), ANSI B11.19-2010,
OSHA 1910-217C. CSA and UL508.
