Pinnacle NSD safety mats

The Pinnacle NSD (New Switching Device) safety mat system provides digital (on/off) switching for safety mat applications.

Safety mats are pressure-sensitive machine safeguarding, and are designed to detect the presence of workers on the mat surface area around hazardous machines.

Pinnacle NSD safety mats are designed to be interfaced with safety relay controllers for normally open SPST 4-wire safety mats. A heavy-duty electrode assembly and a durable outer shell provide high impact resilience and the ability to withstand heavy loads.

No rigid steel electrodes are used in the switching mechanism that can rust and dent, and the mats are flexible, preventing shorts, and operational even if it punctured.

The safety relay controllers contain two independent control circuits that allow for shutdown due to any single failure in one of the control circuits. The NO output circuit is controlled by two captive contact relays in series that are both monitored. If the contact in one relay should stick closed, the other relay will shut down and the LED will indicate the fault; if the contact on the bad relay opens back up, the user must reset the power to clear the fault.
