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 a black
polyetherimide upper housing and yellow PBT base. The 30 mm threaded base on all models
provides easy mounting and easy retrofitting into existing applications. 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.
STB Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons are very similar to the proven and popular OTB Series
buttons. The dual-microcontroller internal design of the new buttons, however, 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 ISO 13851 (EN 574) (requiring 1 normally open
and 1 normally closed contact per input channel). These 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.
