DUO-TOUCH Safety Relays

Banner DUO-TOUCH two-hand control safety relay shown with two optional OPTO-TOUCH switches see page 165.
Banner DUO-TOUCH two-hand control safety relays provide a degree of protection for the hands of a machine operator; they are used with two normally-open input switches in the form of hand controls such as push buttons, optical touch buttons, etc. The DUO-TOUCH circuitry requires simultaneous actuation of both hand controls to generate an output signal The output signal from DUO-TOUCH safety relays is used to start and maintain a machine cycle Design complies with UL 491 category QUHP, when used to control part revolution clutched machinery The design of the Banner DUO-TOUCH two-hand safety relay qualifies for the highest ranking: safety category 4, per EN 954 A feedback loop is offered for monitoring the status of machine control elements

WARNING

If arc suppressors are used, they MUST be installed as shown across the coils of the safety relays. NEVER install suppressors directly across the output contacts of the DUO-TOUCH relay. It is possible for suppressors to fail as a short circuit. If installed directly across the output contacts of the DUO-TOUCH relay, a short-circuited suppressor will create an unsafe condition which could result in serious injury or death.

NOTE: One switch has current sourcing output and one has current sinking output. Solid-state switches must draw no more than 25 milliamps, each. Inputs S13 and S23 are rated at 12 to 18V dc (max.) IMPORTANT! Refer to instruction manual p/n 47550 for complete installation information
WARNING (Reference ANSI B11.1 1988, Appendix B4) NEVER wire an intermediate device (for example, a programmable logic controller - PLC), other than a safety relay, between safety relay outputs and the master stop control element it switches. To do so sacrifices the control reliability of the controlto-machine interface, and creates an unsafe condition. Whenever a safety relay is added as an intermediate switching device, a normally-closed forced-guided monitor contact of that relay must be added to the series feedback loop.
