SERIES 14H, 12H, 15H, 30H and EHD (Extra Heavy Duty) Switchmats have been designed for presence sensing applications for stand alone operator detection in smaller areas. The Extra Heavy Duty series is used in applications that require the mats to withstand heavier equipment used in everyday operations. Just place on a smooth surface, connect lead wiring and you're ready! Depending on how these Switchmats are combined with the machine control wiring, these models can require the operator to step on the Switchmat, or off the Switchmat before the machine will cycle or operate. Series 14H, 12H, 15H, 30H, EHD are thin (3/8") versatile Switchmats; perfect coverage when actuating bells, alarms or door signals. Series 14H, 12H, 15H, 30H, EHD Switchmats have a corrugated surface; by adding Recora's Snap-On Aluminum Connectors and Edging, Series 14H, 12H, 15H, 30H, EHD can be configured to fit any size area needed.


Construction

Switchmats are completely molded, not laminated - mats resist dirt, oil, weld splatter and most harsh industrial liquids. As with all Recora Switchmats, Series 14H, 12H, 15H, 30H, EHD are active over 100% of their surface areas. Mats are designed for low voltage operation, Class II N.E.C. circuit operation, 100 watts at 24 volts AC or DC. Switch is single pole, single throw, normally open, momentary contact type.
