Overview
The DUO-TOUCH ® Run Bar with STB Self-Checking Optical Touch Buttons is designed to satisfy the ergonomic principles
found in ANSI B11.TR1 to reduce the hand, wrist, and arm stresses associated with mechanical push buttons. The rugged
13-gauge steel housing is designed to prevent objects (such as loose clothing or debris) from inadvertently actuating the
switch, which might accidentally block the sensing beam.
The STB Touch Buttons are touch-activated photoelectric devices designed to replace capacitive touch switches and
mechanical push buttons. Their outputs activate when a finger is present in the yoke (“touch area”) of the switch,
interrupting the button’s infrared sensing beam. These “buttons” require no physical pressure to operate, and are immune
to EMI, RFI, and ambient light interference.
The STB button’s internal design incorporates dual microcontrollers, allowing a connection to a Banner DUO-TOUCH SG
Two-Hand Control Safety Module (or other two-hand control systems designed to meet Type IIIC requirements per ISO
13851 (EN 574), and ISO 13849-1 category 4 requirements).
The microcontrollers in the STB buttons perform a continuous self-check: the emitter is continuously pulsed and receiver
response is checked accordingly by the microcontrollers. STB touch buttons are designed to immediately detect any
internal component failure, go into lockout mode, and indicate the failure with a flashing red Fault LED.
