FSA Temperature Sensing Mat

FSA temperature sensing mats provide the ability to measure temperatures between the client and the seat or bed support surface. The mats are available in torso and seat size, with 352 and 256 thermistors respectively. They are constructed of conductive fabric with the thermistors attached to the fabric. The mats are covered in polyurethane that is perforated to allow air movement.

Typical calibration is 10-12 degrees centigrade above ambient room temperature. Size, resolution and calibration range are flexible. The temperature mats use the same FSA core system with their specific calibration file. They provide valuable information for example about how a person interacts thermally with the support materials they are sitting on, its shape and the cover placed over the support materials.

• Maps temperature patterns of client on their support surface.
• Use with standard FSA Type IV interface and software.
• Temperature mat range is standard at 20-40 °C.
• Seat (256 sensors) or torso size (352 sensors).
• Torso mat sensing area is 26.5" x 37.75", mat cover 31" x 41.75"
• Seat mat sensing area is 43" x 43", mat cover 53" x 53"
• Small temperature mat (144 sensors) sensing area 12.5" x12.5" and mat cover 15.5" x 15.5"
• Made of thermal resistors in a flexible matrix, covered with perforated polyurethane.
• Shape and resolution of sensing mat is variable.
