Overview
Banner Optical Touch Buttons (OTB) are touch-activated photoelectric switches designed to replace capacitive touch switches and mechanical push buttons. The OPTO-TOUCH’s SPDT electromechanical relay or solid-state output (depending upon model) is activated when a finger, introduced into the “touch area” (yoke) of the switch, interrupts the OPTO-TOUCH’s infrared sensing beam.
Banner Optical Touch Buttons are ergonomically designed to eliminate the hand, wrist, and arm stresses associated with mechanical push buttons. They require absolutely no physical pressure to operate. LED indicators light for “power on” and “output activated”.
All models are highly resistant to EMI, RFI, and ambient light interference. OTBs have a black polysulfone (or red polycarbonate) upper housing and fiber- reinforced thermoplastic polyester base. Polycarbonate models have the letter “L” in their model number suffix. Environmental considerations for use of the two types differ; see the specifications. The 30 mm threaded base on all models provides easy mounting, and Banner Optical Touch Buttons are easily retrofitted to existing machines.
Rugged polypropylene (TP) field covers are installed on all models to avoid inadvertent switch actuation due to objects (such as loose clothing or debris) that might accidentally block the sensing beam and to protect the device. The polypropylene material is capable of absorbing high impact (even at low temperatures) and is highly resistant to abrasion and to damage by most chemicals.
Safety Instruction: A field cover is installed on this OPTO-TOUCH. If this cover is missing or has become lost or damaged, contact Banner Engineering immediately for a no-charge replacement.
Installing the OTBs
Install the OPTO-TOUCH Optical Touch Buttons so the environment does not adversely affect the means of actuation. Severe contamination of the touch area (yoke) of the switch or other environmental influences may cause slow response or false energized (on) conditions.
Mount the buttons to protect them from accidental or unintentional operation.
Consider ergonomic principles to avoid unnecessary fatigue in the installation of the hand controls. Install the touch buttons at a height and in a location that will be comfortable for the user. See A SI B11.TR1 Ergonomic Guidelines, and EN894 Safety of Machinery-Ergonomic Requirements-Control Actuators for more information.
Mount the buttons a safe distance from moving machine parts, as determined by the appropriate standard (for example, ANSI B11.19, ISO 13851). It must not be possible for the operator or other non qualified persons to relocate them. Failure to establish and maintain the required distance may result in an increased risk of harm.
If OPTO-TOUCH Optical Touch Buttons are used to initiate machines or operations in which false operation of an Optical Touch Button could be dangerous, point-of-operation safeguarding devices and/or related safety controls must be installed and maintained to meet all appropriate OSHA regulations, ANSI B11 machine safety standards (for example, ANSI B11.19) or other relevant regulations.
CAUTION: Hand Controls—The environment in which hand controls are installed must not adversely affect the means of actuation. Severe contamination or other environmental influences may cause slow response or false energized (on) conditions of mechanical or ergonomic buttons. This may result in exposure to a hazard.
CAUTION:
- Install hand controls to prevent accidental actuation
- It is not possible to completely protect the two-hand control system from defeat.
- OSHA regulations require the user to arrange and protect hand controls to minimize possibility of defeat or accidental actuation.
WARNING: Never use an OPTO-TOUCH Optical Touch Button as an actuator in an emergency stop (EStop) circuit. E-Stop actuators must be purely mechanical devices that require no power to operate. OPTOTOUCH Optical Touch Buttons require power to operate and must not be used as E-Stop actuators under any circumstances
Two-Hand Control
Two-Hand Control is an operator actuating control that initiates a machine cycle through the synchronous use of both buttons and concurrent actuation during the hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
Synchronous use is defined as the actuation of both buttons within 500 ms of each other. If one or both buttons are released, an immediate stop command is issued to the machine control and the hazard ceases at any point in the machine cycle.
Alternatively, Two-Hand Trip is similar, but typically initiates a full machine cycle and does not cause a stop or cessation of the hazard if either or both the buttons are released. Two-Hand Trip is typically used on single- cycle or full-revolution machines.
In addition to general installation requirements above, Two-Hand Control/Trip can be used for simple machine cycle actuation and must comply with NFPA 79 and/or ISO 60204-1. If the Two-Hand Control/Trip is also used for safeguarding, additional requirements must be complied with and are found in ANSI B11.19, ISO 13851 and other relevant regulations. In either case, the machine (safety) control must also provide the appropriate level of safety performance (risk reduction) as determined by a risk assessment and the functions of anti-tiedown and anti-repeat.
The level of the safety performance of a Two-Hand Control/Trip system is dependent on the actuating controls (buttons) and the circuity/logic monitoring those actuating controls (THC modules, Safety Controllers, etc.). Typically, systems incorporating OPTOTOUCH Optical Touch Buttons are limited to Type IIIA or IIIB per ISO 13851. If a Type IIIC system is required, STB Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons (datasheet p/n 64136) and an appropriate Two Hand Control logic module or Safety Controller (for example, AT-FM-10K, SC26/XS26, SC10) can comply with the additional requirements.
Anti-tiedown requires the release of both buttons before a subsequent cycle can be re-initiated. This applies after a cycle has been completed or if a stop has otherwise occurred. Anti-tiedown function must be designed to ignore false input signals. False signals include (but are not limited to) voltage transients, contact bounce, and EMI or RFI noise. Two-Hand Control logic modules and Safety Controllers with anti-tiedown are available, which include circuitry to minimize the possibility of false actuation.
Anti-repeat function causes a stop at the end of the machine cycle and requires release of all actuating controls (for example,, buttons) before another cycle or stroke can be initiated. The anti-repeat function must be incorporated into the machine and/or the machine (safety) control.
Other installation considerations include that the actuating controls (for example, buttons) must be arranged far enough apart so that the operator cannot operate both actuating controls using one arm or hand. And, both actuating controls must be located far enough away from the nearest hazard that the operator cannot reach the hazard with a hand or other body part before the hazardous motion or situation ceases. Installation considerations, including the separation distance (safety distance) and calculations to determine this distance are found in ANSI B11.19 or ISO 13851.
WARNING:
- Mount hand controls at a safe distance from moving machine parts
- Failure to establish and maintain the safety distance (minimum distance) could result in serious injury or death.
- Mount hand controls as determined by the applicable standard. The operator or other non-qualified persons must not be able to relocate the hand controls.
WARNING:
- Use adequate point-of-operation guarding
- Failure to properly guard hazardous machinery can result in a dangerous condition that could lead to serious injury or death.
- When properly installed, a two-hand control safety device provides protection only for the hands of the machine operator. It might be necessary to install additional safeguarding, such as safety light curtains, additional two-hand controls, and/or hard guards, to protect all individuals from hazardous machinery.
WARNING:
- Ensure the safety circuit integrity
- The safety circuit integrity level is affected by the design and installation of the safety devices and the means of interfacing with those devices.
- Perform a risk assessment to determine the appropriate safety circuit integrity level or category to ensure the expected risk reduction is achieved and all applicable regulations and standards are in compliance (see ANSI B11.0 and ANSI B11.19, ISO 12100 and ISO13849-1 or the applicable standards).
Mounting Hole Information
The OPTO-TOUCH has a 30 millimeter threaded base which fits directly into a standard mounting hole for an oiltight push button. A lock ring, supplied with each OPTO-TOUCH, can be used to prevent switch rotation.
The mounting hole details shown at the right are used for the OPTO TOUCH and
also for standard oiltight push buttons and their legend plates. The drawing
at the far right shows how to approximate the keyway using a drill hole.

Models with polycarbonate housing: Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water and moist high-temperature environments above 66 °C (150 °F). Avoid aromatic hydrocarbons (such as xylene and toluene), halogenated hydrocarbons, and strong alkalis. Clean periodically using mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid strong alkaline materials. -
