Overview
Safety Mat Monitor Modules SM-GA-5A and SM-HA-5A (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. The Safety Module has two functions:
• To monitor the conductive elements (plates) and the wiring of one or more safe-
ty mat(s) for failures and prevent the machine from restarting if any mat or the
Module fails, and
• To provide a reset routine after the operator steps off the safety mat. This pre-
vents the controlled machinery from restarting automatically after the mat is
cleared. This necessary reset/restart function is required by ANSI B11 and AN-
SI NFPA 79 machine safety standards. If the Module is used in auto-reset
mode, the reset/restart function must be provided by the machine control sys-
tem.
