SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Together with a new patented mat technology, eliminating internal metal plates, and the STTS control
using diverse redundant technology, Pinnacle Systems has achieved a system compliant with OSHA,
ANSI, and the European standards EN954-1 & EN1760-1. These standards dictate safety of machineryrelated parts of control systems and pressure deflection sensitive protective devices and focus on
creating a fault tolerant system. All safety related faults cause a lockout condition requiring internal reset.
The STTS Metal Box Controller system can be ordered with 1 to 3 separate output zones, each with 3
separate isolated dry contact outputs and user option external relay checking for each zone. Up to 8
separate mat inputs allow any combination of mats to control any combination of zones and at the same
time provide instant information of mat faults via a scrolling diagnostic message display and LED's.
DEVICENET industrial data network is optionally available.
In addition to the above-mentioned compliance with various standards, the STTS DIN-rail controller has
been evaluated and approved by the CSA (for electrical safety only). The STTS Din-Rail controller
system comes standard with 1 output zone (2 safety relays, 1 form C auxiliary relay, and 1 fault relay),
external relays checking, and inputs for up to 4 mats. Diagnostic messages are the same as the metal
box, but the din-rail allows for an optional remote diagnostics display. DEVICENET industrial data
network is optionally available.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Low voltage DC signal (+20VDC & -20VDC) is pulsed out to the mat through two wires. The wires attach
to the top and bottom (internally) of the mat and any force on the mat lowers the resistance between the
two wires causing a drop in voltage. A second pair of wires coming back from the mat is used to sense
this drop in voltage. The redundant circuits compare the voltage to a reference and shut down the zone
when the voltage drops below the reference. The circuit goes through a self-check to verify that the
reference, comparators, mat, wiring, and other circuits are all functioning normally every time it scans a
mat input. Diverse redundant technology, provided by two different computers, controls the whole system
and allows more system flexibility (i.e., diagnostic message display).

INSTALLATION
WARNING: The entire machine safety system
must be tested at the start of every shift.
Machine testing should include: (1) proper
machine operation and stopping capability; and
(2) verification of proper installation and
settings of all point of operation guards and
devices before the operation is released for
production.
The STTS mat system has been designed to
promote individual mat "homerun" wiring back
to the mat controller. This is suggested for
easing installation and diagnostics for
maintenance troubleshooting. This will also eliminate cumbersome "daisy chain" wiring practices of mat
systems. It also eliminates numerous wiring connection points buried under the perimeter trim, which are
time intensive to troubleshoot.
INSTALLATION
1) Sweep the floor area where the safety mat is to be installed. The floor should be flat and free of
foreign material.
2) Locate the safety mat in the desired location. For future reference, install the mat with the label side
up.
3) Slide the black wire raceway component under the mat edge (Part #M002). Refer to the graphic
below for proper component positioning. NOTE: The wire raceway component must be installed
whenever the surface perimeter trim component is used.
4) Route the wire/plug assembly on the raceway toward the mat controller location.
5) Lay the aluminum perimeter trim piece around the mat assembly. Determine where the mat wiring
will exit the trim and notch the trim and wire raceway for the wire to exit the assembly.
6) If surface metal raceway is used to route the wiring (Part #M005 or M006) from the mat assembly
across the floor toward the mat controller, it should be aligned with the notch in the perimeter trim and
anchored to the floor. Route wires accordingly and snap cover plate over the wires.
7) Slide the perimeter trim over the wire raceway component and align over the mat edge per Figure 1.
Drill the perimeter trim and floor for securing the perimeter trim to the floor with anchoring screws and
floor anchors.
8) If a multiple mat assembly is to be installed, use the aluminum active coupler component (Part
#M003) to connect mats end-to-end or side-to-side. Refer to graphic below.

CONTROL SETUP
Choose number of mat(s) per zone (metal box
controller only):
Zone 1 mats must start at Mat input #1 and work up.
Zone 2 mats must start at the next available mat input,
and so on. The S5 jumper block is used to program
the number of mats per zone (see "User Configuration
Jumpers").
NOTE: The total number of zones your STTS
controller has was determined at the time of order
placement and is from 1 to 3. If you need to increase
the number of zones at a later date, the unit will need
to be shipped back to the place of purchase for an
upgrade.
Choose your options:
You may select manual or automatic zone resetting (see "User Configuration Jumpers").
MANUAL: If you select manual, you will have to go to the control box and press the zone reset button
each and every time you step on any mat(s) Metal box: Place jumper across JP6 MAN on the top board.
Din-Rail: Place jumper across JP3 MANUAL
AUTOMATIC: If you select automatic, the zone will clear itself when you have stepped off the mat(s).
Metal Box: Remove jumper across JP6 MAN on the top board.
Din-Rail: Remove jumper across JP3 MANUAL.
NOTE: This setting changes all mats, you cannot change some mats to manual and some to
automatic.
EXTERNAL RELAY CHECKING: External relay checking option is selected when you have to switch a
large load. This feature allows the STTS to monitor your external relays. This system requires that you
use two force-guided relays for the external switching and that the secondary pole of each relay (N.C.) be
tied in series back to the STTS control external relay input terminals for each particular zone
Metal Box: Place jumper across JP6 EXT on the top board to activate this feature.
Din-Rail: Place jumper across JP4 EXT to activate this feature.
Metal box mounting location:
After choosing an appropriate location you will need to remove the computer board and the power supply
board from the box in order to punch two holes—one for the power lines and the other for mat wiring.
See "Wiring Diagram for Mats" and "Wiring Diagram for Zones” for wiring hookups.
HOOKUP POWER AND ZONE STOP CIRCUITS TO POWER SUPPLY BOARD:
1) Attach power lines to J3 PLUG (LINE, NEUTRAL, GROUND). Line and Neutral are un-polarized
for DC use.
2) Attach stop circuit to terminals 1 & 4 of J5 for Zone 1, terminals 10 & 13 for Zone 2, terminals 19
& 22 for Zone 3.
3) Attach auxiliary circuit to terminals 5,6,7 for Zone 1, terminals 14,15,16 for Zone 2, terminals
23,24,25 for Zone 3.
4) Attach External Relay Checking input wires to terminals 8,9 for Zone 1, terminals 17, 18 for Zone
2, terminals 26,27 for Zone 3.
Din-Rail controller:
The controller must be mounted inside an enclosure since all the wiring terminates on the outside of the
controller box.
1) Attach 24vdc power, and stop circuit(s) to the POWER/OUTPUT plug
2) Hook up mats to the mat # plugs.
3) Hook up options to the INPUT/OUTPUT plug
5
OPERATION GUIDE
At power-up the control will go though a test and then, if manual reset option is enabled you must reset
the zone. If automatic reset is enabled, the unit will activate each zone that passes the test and nothing
is found on the mat(s).
WHEN YOU STEP ON THE MAT:
The corresponding yellow mat input LED will turn on and, at the same time, the green zone LED will turn
off and the red zone LED will turn on. All three relays related to this zone will de-energize and open up
the N.O. outputs.
WHEN YOU STEP OFF THE MAT:
The corresponding condition of the LED's described above will reverse. All three relays related to this
zone will energize and close the N.O. outputs
GETTING FAULT CODES:
The yellow mat input LED corresponding to the mat fault will flash to indicate which mat input circuit or
mat is faulting. All available zones will shut down and de-energize all relays. When 1 zone has a fault, all
zones shut down.
Problem: NO FAULT CODES DISPLAYED, BUT THE ZONE WILL NOT CLEAR
(No Green LED, but a Yellow LED is lit)
Cause: 1) Manual reset button needs to be pushed.
2) Something is on the mat, or the trim around the mat is too tight.
3) Mat failure (short in the wiring or the mat itself)
Cure: 1) Try swapping the mat with another mat to verify this failure.

WIRING DIAGRAM FOR MAT(S)
Metal Box Controller
This example is for two mats. Each additional mat gets its own input (up to 8 on an input board). Follow
the color code from each mat back to the STTS control box.
NOTE: Adjust the S5 jumper block when adding / deleting mats and zones.
NOTE: The manual/automatic reset feature sets all mats. You cannot select some mats for manual and
some for automatic.
NOTE: Canadian market wiring is black, red, red, black with 18-guage wiring size.

Knock out two holes in bottom section of
metal box housing for input power wiring
and alarm zone wiring; minimum hole size
of ½" (13mm). Care should be exercised
in protection of the conductors from
abrasion where they enter the controller
box, with conduit it is accomplished by
bushings or other approved devices. With
NM cable, the outer covering of the cable
should protrude from the clamp to provide
this protection. With armored cable, fiber
bushings are to be inserted between the
conductors and the armor to prevent any
abrasion. All fittings and connectors shall
maintain a NEMA 12 (IP 54) rating at a
minimum.
A. Openings to be closed-where
conductors enter any openings, they shall
be properly closed.
B. When conduit or fittings are used
with open wiring, proper bushings
shall be used.
WIRING DIAGRAM FOR ZONE(S) (OUTPUTS)
Metal Box Controller
The following examples show two ways to wire a zone: Zone #1 is wired the standard method; Zone #2
is wired for use with external relays. Either of these methods can be applied to any zone.
NOTE: If you use external relays, you must use them on all available zones. You cannot have
external relays on one zone and not on the other zone.
NOTE: If you require 24VDC for power, the transformer SPW626D will be replaced with two chokes.
This modification cannot be performed in the field on the board itself, it must be done at the factory. All
“CE” marked products for the European Community must be 24VDC input power.

SAFETY EVALUATION
Before releasing an installation for production, test the safety system on a daily basis or whenever a
change or modification to the operation is made. Record and verify all tests and examinations.
Check that the floor and environmental conditions are suitable for the device(s) in use.
Check that the minimum safety distances are used in accordance to draft EN999 contained within this
operation and installation manual. This is required for all installations going into the EC (European
Community).
Check that the pressure-sensitive mat or pressure-sensitive floor is fastened (fixed) securely in place
and does not provide a trip hazard.
Ensure that any "dead zones" do not provide an access path to the hazardous zone or area.
Check that the removal of the power supply from the pressure-sensitive mat or pressure-sensitive
floor prevents further operation of the machine. The machine should not be capable of being reactivated
until power has been restored and the reset operated.
Check that a hazardous movement or cycle is prevented while an actuating force is applied to the
effective sensing area.
Ensure that additional safeguards have been provided where necessary to prevent access to the
dangerous parts of machinery from any direction not protected by the pressure sensitive mat or pressure
sensitive floor.
Check that the presence of a person between the danger zone and the sensor is prevented. If this is
not possible, ensure that further safety measures are taken.
Check that all indicator lamps/lights are functioning correctly.
Check the sensitivity of the mat or floor over the whole effective sensing area.
The adequate safety required for a machine depends on the safety integrity of the interface between
the machine and its protective device(s). Where a category is stated by a "C" standard of a risk
assessment, the checks should ensure the machine control circuits and the connections to the safety
device(s) are in accordance with the interface connections agreed between the machine control
manufacturer and the safety protective device manufacturer. Always meet or exceed OSHA, ANSI, and
RIA safety standards.
Where muting is provided, ensure that muting occurs only during the intended part of the machines'
operation (e.g., during the cycle where no hazard exists). Refer to the applicable standard: OSHA CFR
1910.217, ANSI B11.1-2001, ANSI B11.19-2003, EN954-1, or the updated versions of these standards
for the application.
Do not release the subject machine for production unless all of the above items are met or exceeded.
23
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Read the entire maintenance section of the manual before any maintenance is attempted.
The tasks which require definite technical knowledge or particular skills should be carried out exclusively
by suitably-trained personnel.
Inspections of the STTS Safety Mat System™ should be conducted daily to assure that all mats in the
guarded zone are working properly.
Cleaning of the mats with grease cutting soaps and water is permissible.
Refer to the Table of Contents for the proper section for fault displays, potential causes and cures, and
possible remedies.
WARNING: Replace all perimeter trim pieces and screw anchors after maintenance. If the components
are not correctly replaced and fitted properly, the requirements for the safety device may not be met.
WARNING: Only replacement parts approved by the manufacturer may be replaced by the user and that
non-approved spares used with the safety device may not function to the designed requirements.

ANNEX A
MAT SIZING AND LAYOUT (from #prEN999)
The following formula is an international guideline for proper positioning and applications of safety mats
for machine guarding. This formula must be followed for all safety mat applications supplied to the
European Community (EC) member nations. CEN is the European Committee for Standardization. Final
draft #prEN999.
The minimum distance from the danger zone shall be calculated by using the general formula:
S = (K x T) + C
where:
S Is the safety mat minimum distance in inches/millimeters in a horizontal plane, from the
danger zone to the detecting edge of the safety mat furthest from the danger zone.
K Is a parameter in inches/millimeters per second, derived from data on approach speeds
of the body or parts of the body (K=63 inches/second or 1600mm/second).
T Is the total system stopping time performance (which includes activating the safety mat),
the mat controller output signal switching device, and the time required to stop the
machine and remove risk. T = (Tm +Tc)
Tm Total machine stopping time. Must be obtained by customer.
Tc The STTS safety mat system™ activation time including the controller is 19
msec/mat.
C Is an additional distance in inches/millimeters, based on intrusion towards the danger
zone prior to actuation of the protective safety mat equipment.
(C=48 inches or 1200 mm)
Examples of safety mat sizing calculations using inches and millimeters
S = 63 inches/sec x T + 48 inches
Mat Body approach Total Safety Intrusion distance
Size speed (K) system stopping toward danger zone

S = 1600 mm/sec x T + 1200 mm

ANNEX B (informative)
Walking speeds and stride lengths
The positioning of equipment, which is activated by a person walking into the detection zone by stepping
onto a pressure-sensitive mat, is affected by speed of approach and stride length. The walking and stride
lengths depend on the physical and anthropometric data of the population.
Speed of approach
This standard assumes that the approach of persons towards the danger zone will be at walking speed.
Stride length
Available research data has shown that the 95th percentile of two steps (i.e., starting and finishing with
the same foot) measured from heel contact at walking speed is approximately 75 inches/1900 mm. By
dividing by two and subtracting the 5th percentile shoe length this gives a stride length of 28
inches/700mm. If it is assumed that an allowance has to be made, for example, between the detection
zone and the stride length of 2 inches/50 mm this gives a minimum width of 30 inches/750 mm for the
detection zone.

ANNEX C (Installation Practices for Industry)
The proper installation of the STTS Mat System is essential if the system is to operate properly. This
section provides the user with general wiring, grounding, and shielding guidelines that should be followed
in industrial installations.
These guidelines are presented as a tool in avoiding potential electromagnetic interference (EMI, also
called Noise) problems. Because of the many ways that EMI problems can be generated, these
guidelines are not meant as a cure-all, but instead as a list of basic rules that will help suppress or
eliminate most common sources of EMI interference. These Guidelines are not a substitute for the safety
practices called out in Local Electrical Codes or the National Electrical Code which is published by the
National Fire Protection Association. If any discrepancies exist, the Local or National Codes must be
followed. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER to determine what installation practices m ust be
followed to conform to all National and Local Codes.
These Guidelines are organized into the following sections:
1) Raceway Layout (Wiring) Considerations
2) Grounding
3) Shielding of Cables
1.0) RACEWAY LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
1.1) RACEWAY PLANNING:
Before planning a raceway layout, all wires and cables in or around the controller and mat
wiring should be broken into the following categories:
TYPE 1: High-Power Conductors
This category includes all high-power conductors. High power lines are usually quite tolerant
of EMI noise problems but may also generate large amounts of EMI noise that may disturb
other conductors near them. These conductors include:
1) High-Power AC and DC Lines
This includes all power lines to and from mechanical switches, relays, solenoids,
motors, generators, arc welders, etc.
TYPE 2: Low-Power Conductors
This category includes all low-power conductors. Low-power lines are usually less tolerant of
EMI noise problems than Type 1 conductors but also generate less EMI noise. These
conductors include:
1) STTS Mat Wiring Cables. This is the cabling that connects the safety mat to the
controller.
2) Serial Communication Cables. These connect between processors and remote
units such as displays, terminals, or other processors.
3) Low-Power AC/DC Switcher Lines. These lines include all lines that carry low
currents and input circuits with short time-constant filters that are designed to
detect short, single event pulses. Typically, these lines are connected to devices
such as proximity switches, photo-electric sensors, and low power analog or
digital devices.
TYPE 3: System Interconnect Cables
These cables interconnect the system components within an enclosure. They include:
1) ALL Ribbon Cables. This includes cables that interconnect system units or
connect units to relay boards.
27
2) All other system interconnect Cables. This includes serial interface cables,
transducer cables, and unit power cables.
1.2) RACEWAY LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Once the cables of the system have been classified, the following suggestions should be
followed when possible to guard against coupling noise from one conductor to another in a
raceway. These guidelines apply to cable routing both inside and outside the enclosure.
1) All Type – 1 conductors should be routed in a separate raceway from Type 2 and
3 conductors. Type – 1 conductors may be routed with machine power
conductors of up to 600VAC , if it is done in accordance with all safety codes.
The raceway must be well grounded along its entire length.
2) All Type – 2 conductors must be properly shielded by conduit or bonded sealtite,
where applicable, and routed in a separate raceway. The raceway must be well
grounded along its entire length.
3) Route Type – 2 conductor raceways at least 1 ft (30 cm) from 120VAC Type – 1
conductor raceways, 2 ft. (60 cm) from 240 VAC Type – 1 conductor raceways,
and 3 ft. (100 cm) from 480 VAC Type – 1 conductor raceways when ever
possible.
4) Route Type – 2 conductors at least 3 ft. (100 cm) from any high power electric
device such as motors, generators, transformers, etc. whenever possible.
5) If a Type – 2 conductor raceway must cross Type – 1 conductor raceway, it
should do so at right angles to the Type – 1 raceway.
6) All Type – 3 conductors should be routed external to all raceways or, preferable,
in a raceway separate from any Type – 1 or Type – 2 conductor raceways.
2.0) GROUNDING GUIDELINES
After the raceway layout has been established, the mounting of the components in the system and the
proper grounding should be done.
Proper grounding is important for safety reasons in electrical installations. With solid-state controls, such
as the STTS Mat Controller, proper grounding procedures (including the elimination of ground loops) has
the added advantage of reducing the effects of EMI interference. A proper grounding path must be
permanent and continuous and must be able to safely conduct all ground-fault currents to earth ground
with a minimum impedance.
2.1) SHIELDED CABLES
Certain connections such as the safety mat wiring require conduit or bonded sealtite cables to help
reduce the effects of induced EMI noise from other conductors. It is imperative that the shield is
grounded, but only at one end.
The shield should be grounded at the point that the signal is generated. For example, a transducer cable
should be grounded at the controller because it is the controller that generates the signals that operate
the transducer. If a shield is not grounded, the shield will act as an antenna and will actually help induce
the unwanted EMI noise into the cable! However, if the shield is grounded at both ends of the cable,
there is a potential of a ground loop will be formed that could cause faulty system operation.
If a cable must be spliced somewhere along its length, the splice must be made in Grounded Metal Enclosure. The drain wires of the shielded pairs MUST be connected to ensure that the cable is
shielded along its entire length. However, the shields and drain wires of the cable must be isolated from
the enclosure to prevent the possibility of a ground loop.
