RECORA
Safety Controllers and Safety Relays (FSC-6):


Design Principles:

The Recora FSC-6 Failsafe Safety Mat Controller is designed as a complete, self-contained, mat controller suitable to use at all levels of risk mitigation requirements in industrial applications. The FSC-6 integrates a number of sophisticated safety design concepts to ensure the highest degree of safe operation along with the best possible protection for equipment and personnel. The FSC-6 is available in various configurations to match the appropriate level of protection to the potential risk without sacrificing productivity.

Risk Assessment
The level of safety protection required for a given application is based on the risk associated with that application. The risk associated with an operation is based on a number of factors that must be taken together and evaluated in total to establish the risk level for any equipment or operation.
