POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT SAFETY(guide to handling the product)

It is very important that you read the User Guide before using the product and keep it in a safe,readily accessible place.
① Use the product within the indicated range of ratings for safety. (Be sure the voltage is 28 V AC/DC, 1 A, or
less or a minimum voltage, and the current is 5 V 20 mA or more.)② Connect the product correctly as indicated in the wiring diagram. (Check the wiring using a tester or the likebefore using the product.)③ While the product has a drip-proof construction, do not use it where it may become submerged in water or issubject to constant exposure to water. (Failure to observe this can result in short-circuiting or eclectic shocks.
Be sure its external connections are appropriately waterproofed.)④ Use a special mounting frame when fixing a mat switch in place. (Nails and screws directly used on the mat
surface can damage the internal switching mechanism.)⑤ Be sure the product is installed on a level floor and never on an irregular surface. (Failure to observe this canresult in malfunction or open circuits.)⑥ Do not install the product in a place subject to low/high temperatures or in an environment outside its
specifications. (Failure to observe this can result in deterioration of switch performance or a shorter servicelife.)⑦ Do not drag or pull up the lead wire of the product, and do not subject its lead-out to excessive force. (Failureto observe this can result in malfunction or open circuits.)⑧ The product is of a normally-OFF type. Do not keep it activated (ON) under a heavy load over a long periodof time. (Failure to observe this can bring about a functional drop in its switching mechanism.)⑨ When moving or storing the mat switch, do not roll it or keep it bent for a long period of time. (Failure toobserve this can result in malfunction or open circuits.)⑩ Do not use such solvents as thinner, benzene, and toluene on the product. (Failure to observe this can leadto altered properties, discoloration, or other problems.)⑪ Do not drop a sharp metal piece or the like on the product. (Failure to observe this can lead to short circuiting
or open circuits.)⑫ If possible, employ a fail-safe open circuit detector (e.g., SC-2, PSSU, PRSU; 4-wire control circuit) thatremains powered at all times.
⑬ The CVP series of mats and PE30 are not suitable for use as a means of protecting individuals.
⑭ Do not twist the product in a lateral direction.
⑮ Do not deform, disassemble, or modify the product.

Maintenance and Safety① Check to see that the product functions normally before starting work, always turning off the power at theend.
② Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the product (on the part of the user). Upon discovery of a problem,
stop using the machine for which the product is used, and follow the appropriate safety procedure.

Others① Problems with the product arising as a result of not observing the foregoing points will invalidate all right tocompensation.
② Problems, if any, are deemed to have been compensated for by shipment of a replacement of the product,and OJIDEN will not be liable for any cost of replacement incurred.
③ Where accidents or the like, if any, occurring in connection with a problem in the product are concerned,
OJIDEN shall not be liable for associated expenditures.

“Positioning of Protective Devices in Relation
to Approach Speeds of Human Bodies”

Safety Distance
Distance that must be allowed between safety switch andhazard-inducing portion.

If used as a means of suspending theoperation of a machine in an emergency, there
must be an adequate distance of safety.

Computational Formula

These standards prescribe minimum distances that mustbe allowed between the hazard-inducing portion of amachine and the protective device used. Referred to asa “safety distance,” it is calculated with reference to thedirection of approach of human bodies, response time ofthe protective device, response time of the machine, andthe size of the smallest object detected by the protectivedevice.

S:minimum safety distance between
maximum operating area and switch
detection area
K:human body approach speed (gait speed)
T: length of operation suspension time ofentire system
C:additional distance suited to switch
detection capability

Maximum operating area

S (mm) = K (mm/sec) x T (sec) + C (mm)Safety distance: SMat switch
