Overview
A DUO-TOUCH SG Two-Hand Control Safety Module (the “Module”) may be used with:
• Two Banner STB Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons, each with one normally open and one normally closed relay output contact, or
• Two Banner STB Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons, each with two current-sourcing PNP outputs, or
• Two electro-mechanical push buttons, each with one normally open and one normally closed contact (Form C contact)
If the machine operator removes one or both hands from the actuating device(s), the Module relays de-energize, causing the output
contacts to open. The relays will not re-energize until both actuating devices are deactivated and then simultaneously reactivated.
WARNING: Point-of-Operation Guarding
When properly installed, a two-hand control device provides protection only for the hands of the machine
operator. It may be necessary to install additional safeguarding, such as safety light screens, addition-
al two-hand controls, and/or hard guards, to protect all individuals from hazardous machinery.
Failure to properly guard hazardous machinery can result in a dangerous condition which could
lead to serious injury or death.
The Duo-Touch SG® Two-Hand Control Kit system complies with:
• Two-hand control and Control Reliability requirements per OSHA 29CFR1910.217, ANSI NFPA 79, ANSI B11.19, and ANSI/RIA
R15.06,
• Type IIIC requirements of ISO 13851 (EN 574) Safety of Machinery – Two-Hand Control Devices, and
• Safety-related applications up to Category 4 PL e, per EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL3 per IEC 61508 and IEC 62061.
The Safety Module’s output signal consists of two sets of redundant, forced-guided (mechanically linked) contacts (see wiring diagrams).
Circuitry within the Safety Module monitors these internal contacts and prevents an output signal from occurring if a fault is detected. A
feedback loop is offered for monitoring the status of the machine control elements.
