Overview
What it is
ESM-57 is Bircher’s custom safety mat. Size, outline, surface, colour, cable outlet and the number and position of active switching zones are set to the application.
What it is used for
Passage control and activation at revolving doors and security locks (single-person passage), and guarding irregular danger zones around machines.
Key features
- Customer-specific outline, including round and curved shapes.
- Several switching zones on one mat, highlighted in different colours.
- 0 to 3 active switching edges.
- Grip-pad or smooth surface; black, grey, yellow or orange.
- Cable length and outlet position to order, max. 5 m.
- IP67, -25 to +70 °C.
Buying considerations
Provide a drawing with outline, zones, cable outlet and quantity. Bircher’s specialists design the mat to the requirement, so lead time and price depend on the design.
Installation considerations
For safety functions connect each zone to a Bircher switching device such as ESD3. Ramp rails finish exposed edges.
Compatibility
Bircher ESD3 and EsMatix 3 switching devices; DoC covers ESM 57 with ESD3, ESR3x and EsMatix 3.
