LTBA5 - BANNER ENGINEERING - Product.Network

Banner LTB Series Optical Touch Buttons are touch-activated photoelec-

tric switches designed to replace capacitive touch switches and mechani-

cal push buttons. The OPTO-TOUCH's SPDT electromechanical relay

output changes state, alternating between "on" and "off", whenever a finger,

introduced into the "touch area" (yoke) of the switch, interrupts the LTB's

infrared sensing beam.

Banner LTBs are ergonomically designed to eliminate the hand, wrist, and

arm stresses associated with mechanical push buttons. They require abso-

lutely no physical pressure to operate. LED indicators light for "power on"

and "output activated".

LTBs are highly resistant to EMI, RFI, and ambient light interference, and are

constructed from black polysulfone (or red Lexan®) and VALOX® for reliabil-

ity in industrial environments. The 30-mm threaded base provides easy

mounting, and LTBs are easily retrofitted to existing machines. See the

listings on pages 2 and 3 for available models.

LTB Series

OPTO-TOUCH™

WARNING. Banner OPTO-TOUCH™ L TB Series Optical T ouch Buttons are intended as general-

purpose initiators, and are not safety devices. Like most solid-state devices, they are as equally likely to fail

in the conducting ("on") state as in the non-conducting ("off") state. 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 guarding devices or related safety controls must be installed and maintained to meet all appropriate OSHA

regulations and ANSI B11 machine safety standards.

NOTE: In addition to the standards and regulations mentioned above, there are numerous regulations and machine safety

standards that apply to specific industries. For assistance in obtaining copies of any of these standards, contact Banner at

the address and or numbers listed at the bottom of page 4.

Supply Voltage: 105 to 130V ac or 210 to 250V ac, depending upon

model. See listings of available models, pages 2 and 3.

Output Configuration: All models have SPDT electromechanical

relay (one N.O. contact, one N.C. contact).

Output Rating: Maximum voltage is 250V ac or 30V dc.

Maximum current 7 amps (resistive load), 1 HP max.

Minimum load .05 watts (dc), .05VA (ac).

Mechanical life of relay 50,000,000 operations (min.).

Electrical life of relay 100,000 operations (min.) at full resistive load.

Transient suppression is recommended when switching inductive loads.

Ambient Light Immunity: 120,000 lux (direct sunlight).

EMI/RFI Immunity: The OPTO-TOUCH is highly resistant to

both single and mixed EMI and RFI noise sources.

Operating Temperature Range: -20 to +50°C (-4 to +122°F).

Indicator LEDs: Two indicator LEDs. One lights when power is

"on"; the other lights when the infrared sensing beam is interrupted.

Construction:

Black polysulfone or red Lexan® upper housing and fiber-reinforced

VALOX® base. Electronics fully epoxy-encapsulated. Totally sealed,

non-metallic enclosure. The LTB's threaded base has M30 x 1,5

external threads and 1/2" NPSM internal threads. The base requires

a 1-3/16" diameter mounting hole (fits most standard automotive-size

"jumbo" legend plates and oiltight pushbutton holes). OPTO-TOUCH

LTBs are rated NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 12, and 13.

Specifications

Alternate Action Optical Touch Buttons

Cable: Quick-disconnect (QD) models require model MBCC-512

5- conductor mini-type cable (p/n 25496), purchased separately. QD

cables are 12 feet long. Models with attached cable (non-QD models)

are supplied with 6 feet of PVC-jacketed, 22 AWG 5-conductor cable.

Environmental Considerations (models with polysulfone housing):

Prolonged exposure of the OPTO-TOUCH to direct outdoor sunlight

will cause embrittlement of the polysulfone housing. Window glass

effectively filters longer wavelength ultraviolet and provides excel-

lent protection from sunlight. Contact the factory Application Engi-

neering Department regarding outdoor applications. Clean periodi-

cally using a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid the following

substances, as they will attack polysulfone to varying degrees: esters,

ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and strong

alkaline materials.

Environmental Considerations (models with Lexan® housing):

Prolonged exposure of the OPTO-TOUCH to hot water and moist

high-temperature environments above 150°F (66°C) should be

avoided. Aromatic hydrocarbons (such as xylene and toluene),

halogenated hydrocarbons, and strong alkalis should be avoided.

Clean periodically using mild soap solution and a soft cloth.

The model SMB30S swivel-mount bracket (p/n 33204) is a

versatile means for mounting a Banner OPTO-TOUCH Optical

Touch Button. The SMB30S lets you ergonomically position

the OPTO-TOUCH on most machinery for maximum operator

comfort and convenience.

The SMB30S mounts by its base. Its swivel ball locks snugly

in place when its two clamping bolts are tightened. Bracket

material is black VALOX®. Hardware is stainless steel, and

mounting bolts are included.

The photo at the right shows a model SMB30S bracket with an

OPTO-TOUCH attached.

WARNING!

Never use an OPTO-TOUCH Optical Touch Button as an actuator in an emergency stop

(E-Stop) circuit. E-Stop actuators must be purely mechanical devices that require no power to

operate. OPTO-TOUCH Optical Touch Buttons require power to operate and must not be used

as E-Stop actuators under any circumstances.

Model SMB30S Swivel Mount Bracket

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, may 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.

OPTO-T OUCH Field Covers

Model shown has built-in, attached cable.

See page 2 for QD-style base.

A field cover has been supplied with this OTB. It should be installed, as shown in the drawing above, to minimize the

possibility of unintended switch operation. If this cover is missing or has become lost or damaged, contact Banner

immediately at (612) 544-3164 for a no-charge replacement.

Safety Instruction

OPTO-TOUCH Field Covers (see drawing, below) are designed to

prevent inadvertent activation of OPTO-TOUCHs due to objects (loose

clothing, debris, etc.) which might accidentally block the sensing beam.

Field covers are constructed of rugged polycarbonate-PET polyester blend,

which is capable of absorbing high impacts, even at low temperatures. This

material is highly resistant to abrasion and to damage by most chemicals.

Every OPTO-TOUCH is supplied with a black field cover, as standard.

Field covers are available separately in four colors, which can be used to

differentiate touch button functions when several touch buttons are in

use:

Black OTC-1-BK, p/n 30221 Yellow OTC-1-YW, p/n 30978

Red OTC-1-RD, p/n 30977 Green OTC-1-GN, p/n 30979
