Banner Engineering STBVP6 Self-Checking Optical Touch Button Press Control Module

The Banner STBVP6 Self-Checking Optical Touch Button Press Control Module is a four‑wire, 2 m (6.5 ft) integral‑cable input device that provides a contactless, optical touch interface for safety‑related control circuits. It operates on a 10–30 V DC supply and delivers a complementary PNP output, with a single‑point optical sensing element housed in a rugged, IP66‑rated black polyetherimide enclosure designed for base‑mount (saddle) installation. LED indicators for power, output, and fault simplify diagnostics, and pre‑installed field covers help prevent inadvertent activation in demanding environments. The STBVP6 is not a stand‑alone safety device; for safety applications, two STB units must be interfaced with a type IIIC two‑hand‑control module (for example Banner AT‑FM‑10K or compatible XS/SC26/SC10 controllers) to meet applicable standards. This model is part of Banner’s STB Self‑Checking Optical Touch Button family and uses high excess gain to tolerate contamination and ambient light, while maintaining reliable actuation with minimal hand effort. Suitable for safeguarding workflows that require two‑hand confirmation, machine guarding, or other two‑hand control implementations, the STBVP6 combines durable construction, straightforward cabling, and clear signaling to support clean integration into Banner’s safety ecosystem.
