Abstract: A safety mat monitoring system has individual mat indicators associated with corresponding mat switches. A mat switch is activated by pressure on or malfunction of the mat switch. Once activated, an indicator on a controller is activated and, in turn, the controller activates the corresponding individual mat indicator.

Abstract: A pressure sensitive switch mat capable of interconnection with other such switch mats on all sides to eliminate non-activation zones as disclosed. The switch mat has a main switch mat portion and an activation edge on all sides of the switch mat. The activation edge includes a connector retainer lip, an actuation platform and an end portion. When an actuation force is applied to the actuation platform, the switch mat is actuated. A bridge connector for connecting adjacent pressure sensitive switch mats to eliminate non-activation zones therebetween is disclosed. Additionally, a control circuit for the switch mat system that has an integrity monitoring system for providing reliable control of the switch mat system is disclosed.
