WARNING ...
When properly installed, a two-hand-control system using STB Touch Buttons as the actuating devices provides protection only for
the hands of the machine operator. It may be necessary to install other guarding devices, such as safety light screens and/or hard
guards, to protect personnel from hazardous machinery. Failure to install appropriate point-of-operation guards on hazardous
machinery can result in a dangerous condition which could lead to serious injury or death.

STB Series Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons
STB Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons are touch-activated photoelectric devices
designed to replace capacitive touch switches and mechanical push buttons. Their
outputs activate while a finger is in the “touch area” (yoke) of the switch,
interrupting the button’s infrared sensing beam.
Banner STB Series 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 when power is on and outputs
are activated.
All models are immune to EMI, RFI, and ambient light interference. STBs have either
a black polysulfone or red Lexan
PBT base. Environmental considerations for use of the two types differ; see
specifications. The 30 mm threaded base on all models provides easy mounting and
easy retrofitting into existing applications.
STB Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons are identical in fit, form and function with
the proven and popular OTB Series buttons. The internal design of the new buttons,
however, based on dual microcontrollers, allows the hookup to a Banner DUO-
TOUCH SG Two-Hand-Control Safety Module, or other two-hand-control designed to
meet Type IIIC requirements per EN 574 (requiring 1 normally open and 1 normally
closed contact per input channel).
The major advantage to these second-generation touch buttons is that the
microcontrollers perform a continuous self-check. The emitter is continuously
pulsed, and receiver response is checked accordingly by the microcontrollers. STB
Series Touch Buttons are designed to immediately detect any internal component
failure, go into a lockout mode, and indicate the failure with a flashing green Fault
LED.
The STB outputs, however, are not monitored by the STB circuitry, and there is no
external device monitoring feedback. This output monitoring must be done with an
external device, such as a Type IIIC Two-Hand-Control module.

Output, Fault (green): Steady ON when button is activated
Rugged yellow polypropylene (TP) field covers are supplied with all models to
prevent inadvertent switch actuation due to objects (such as loose clothing or
debris) which might accidentally block the sensing beam. 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.
