Pressure Mat / Pad Switches
-
We are leading manufacturers of floor pressure mats and pressure pads.
Floor pressure mats will detect a person walking over or standing on them. The smaller pressure pads may also be used in the same way or to detect a person sitting in a chair
Pressure Mats were initially designed for security applications to comply with the British standard BS 4737 Part 3 : Section 3.9. They provide a low cost covert method of detecting a person and will provide years of service.
Many other applications have been found for these floor pressure mats / pads such as, patient care, sensors for interactive toys, sensors for interactive multimedia systems, i.e. when a person treads on a floor mat a multimedia presentation is triggered.
We are able to manufacture custom size mats and pads with alternative cables, with or without plugs.

The PM1 and PM7 pressure mats are 595mm x 170mm x 3mm and are designed to be placed on a stair tread.
The PM1 has normal sensitivity and will detect a person walking up or down stairs. The PM7 has an increased sensitivity, these pressure pads are often used in novel applications, chairs, seats, hand operated, targets in games, precise media presentation triggers etc. See data sheet.
The image shows the pressure mat with 4 separate wires, this option is usually used in security applications. It is also available with a 2 core round cable up to 3 metres in length.

PM2 floor pressure mats are 720mm x 390mm x 3mm in size. This is the standard pressure mat and its dimensions are approximately the same as a door mat.
The PM2 has normal sensitivity and will detect a person either walking over or standing on it. The pressure mat should be covered by carpet or a similar floor covering.
The image shows the pressure mat with a 2 core round cable up to 3 metres in length. It is also available with 4 separate wires for security applications.

PM4 floor pressure mats are 570mm x 430mm x 3mm in size. This is a special pressure mat for use in turnstiles or on stair half landings that have a 90° turn.
The PM4 has normal sensitivity and will detect a person either walking over or standing on it. The pressure mat should be covered by carpet or a similar floor covering.
The image shows the pressure mat with 2 separate wires, it is also available with a 2 core round cable up to 3 metres in length.

PM5 and PM8 pressure pads are 330mm x 260mm x 3mm in size. In view of their smaller size these pressure pads are often used in novel applications, chairs, seats, hand operated, targets in games, precise media presentation triggers etc.
The PM5 has normal sensitivity and will detect a person either walking over or standing on it. The pressure mat should be covered by carpet or a similar floor covering. The PM8 has an increased sensitivity and will detect a lighter load, see data sheet.
The image shows the pressure mat with a 2 core round cable up to 3 metres in length. It is also available with 2 separate wires.
