Overview
A DUO-TOUCH SG Two-Hand Control Safety 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 mechanical push buttons with one normally open and one normally closed contact each (Form C contact)
If the machine operator removes one or both hands from the actuating device(s), the Duo-Touch SG 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.
The Duo-Touch SG Two-Hand Control Kit system has been designed to meet:
• Type IIIC requirements of EN 574 Safety of Machinery – Two-Hand Control Devices, and
• Category 4 requirements of EN 954-1 Safety of Machinery – Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems – Part 1: General
Principles of Design
The Safety Module’s output signal consists of four sets of redundant, forced-guided (mechanically linked) contacts (see Electrical
Installation on p. 6). 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.

WARNING:
• Use adequate point-of-operation guarding
• Failure to properly guard hazardous machinery can result in a dangerous condition that could lead to
serious injury or death.
• When properly installed, a two-hand control safety device provides protection only for the hands of the
machine operator. It might be necessary to install additional safeguarding, such as safety light curtains,
additional two-hand controls, and/or hard guards, to protect all individuals from hazardous machinery.

DUO-TOUCH® SG Series Two-Hand Control Module AT-GM-13A and AT-HM-13A
Theory of Operation
The input circuit of the DUO-TOUCH SG Safety Module requires simultaneous actuation (within 0.5 seconds of each other) of both
two-hand control actuators to generate an output signal.
The timing diagram illustrates that an output signal from the DUO-TOUCH SG Safety Module occurs only if switch #1 (SW1) and
switch #2 (SW2) are actuated within 0.5 seconds of each other. The output signal drops within 35 milliseconds following the release
of either switch. The device output does not re-energize until both hand controls are disengaged, and then simultaneously reactuated. This logic reduces the possibility of defeating the two-hand control by tying down one or both hand controls.

ANSI/RIA
R15.06, NFPA 79, and EN 574 as not more than 500 ms, even under

CAUTION:
• Anti-repeat control is not a function of this two-hand control safety module
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• The user of this device must provide a suitable means of accomplishing anti-repeat control for any
single-stroke or single-cycle machine.
The actuating devices must be protected from accidental or unintended operation. This can be accomplished by their mounting
position and/or through the use of protective shields such as rings, guards or shields; see Installation of Hand Controls on p. 4.

Note: Two-hand control and two-hand trip safeguarding protect only the operator’s hands. Additional
safeguarding may be required. The user must refer to the relevant standards for additional requirements for the
application of two-hand control and two-hand trip devices when used for safeguarding.
Part-Revolution Clutched Machinery
A two-hand control safety module can be used for the following functions: inch (jog), single-stroke, or continuous (run). Two-hand
control safety modules are recognized as a means of protecting the machine operator when the hand controls are safely located and
protected from false operation (see Mechanical Installation and Separation Distance) and when properly interfaced to the machine
(see Electrical Installation) to control the required stopping action.
Full-Revolution Clutched Machinery
A two-hand control safety module used to initiate the cycle of a full-revolution clutched machine is known as a two-hand trip device.
Two-hand trip devices are recognized as a means of protecting the machine operator when the hand controls are safely located and
protected from false operation (see Mechanical Installation and Separation Distance) and when properly interfaced to the machine
(see Electrical Installation) to prevent accidental cycle initiation.

DUO-TOUCH® SG Series Two-Hand Control Module AT-GM-13A and AT-HM-13A
Installation Instructions
Mechanical Installation
The Module must be installed inside a NEMA 3 (IP54) rated, or better, enclosure. It is not designed for exposed wiring. See
Dimensions on p. 11 for Safety Module Dimensions. The device mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
CAUTION:
• Avoid installing hand controls in contaminated environments—Severe contamination or other
environmental influences could cause a slow response or false on condition of mechanical or ergonomic
buttons.
• A slow response or false on condition could result in exposure to a hazard.
• The environment in which hand controls are installed must not adversely affect the means of actuation.
Heat Dissipation Considerations
For reliable operation, ensure that the operating specifications are not exceeded. The enclosure must provide adequate heat
dissipation, so that the air closely surrounding the Module does not exceed the maximum operating temperature stated in the
Specifications. Methods to reduce heat build-up include venting, forced airflow (for example, exhaust fans), adequate enclosure
exterior surface area, and spacing between modules and other sources of heat.
Installation of Hand Controls
Each actuating device typically requires a normally open and a normally closed (for example, Form C or SPDT) hard contacts, each
capable of reliably conducting 20 mA at 12 V dc. For complementary PNP operation, model STBVP.. touch buttons must be used to
ensure proper functionality.
Standards require that the actuating devices be mounted to protect them from accidental or unintentional operation. Use shields,
covers, rings, collars, dividers, or similar protection to prevent accidental switch actuation and to discourage use of forearms or
elbows. European standard EN 574 includes a detailed discussion of approaches to protection of hand controls.
The hand controls must be arranged far enough apart so that the operator cannot operate both hand controls by the use of one arm.
Typically, this distance is not less than 550 mm (21.7 in) in a straight line, but using guards or alternate mounting arrangement can
allow shorter distances, per EN 574. This standard also recommends that the hand controls be arranged on a horizontal (or nearly
horizontal) surface that is 1,100 mm (43.3 in) above the floor.
Ergonomic principles should be considered to avoid unnecessary fatigue in the installation of the hand controls. See EN 574 TwoHand Control, ANSI B11.TR1–Ergonomic Guidelines, and EN 894–Safety of Machinery–Ergonomic Requirements–Control
Actuators for further information.
The figures show two examples for mounting Banner’s STB Touch Buttons. When mounted on top of the control bar, the protective
field covers should be in place, as shown. For added protection, mount the devices sideways under and behind a protective hood,
rather than on top of the bar, leaving the field covers off. This side mount reduces the possibility of the operator easily positioning
and leaving an object in the path of the beam, intentionally bypassing the safeguard.

CAUTION: Install Hand Controls to Prevent Accidental Actuation
Total protection for the two-hand control system from defeat is not possible. However, the user is required by
U.S. and International standards to arrange and protect hand controls to minimize the possibility of
defeat or accidental actuation.
Requirements for Multiple-Operator Control
Standards have specified several conditions for situations where multiple operators work together to control one machine:
•
4
Each operator must actuate his/her own pair of actuating devices, with all pairs of actuators active at one time, in order to
initiate a machine cycle; the machine may not be allowed to operate until this condition is true

•
•
•
The actuators all must be released between cycles
The actuation and de-actuation of all workstations requiring two-hand control must be supervisable and must provide
indication
The clutch/brake control system must be designed so that the clutch cannot be actuated if all the operating workstations are
bypassed
It is the user's responsibility to determine if this two-hand control system can be interfaced to the machine in a manner to
satisfy all existing requirements for multiple-operator control.
Two-Hand Control Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
Install all hand controls far enough away from the nearest hazard point that the operator cannot reach the hazard with a hand or
other body part before the hazardous motion ceases. This is the separation distance (safety distance), and may be calculated as
follows.
WARNING:
• Mount hand controls at a safe distance from moving machine parts
• Failure to establish and maintain the safety distance (minimum distance) could result in serious injury or
death.
• Mount hand controls as determined by the applicable standard. The operator or other non-qualified
persons must not be able to relocate the hand controls.
U.S. Applications
The Safety Distance formula, as provided in ANSI B11.19:
Part-Revolution Clutch Machinery (the machine and its controls allow the machine to stop motion during the hazardous portion of
the machine cycle)
Ds = K x (Ts + Tr) + Dpf
For Full-Revolution Clutch Machinery (the machine and its controls are designed to complete a full machine cycle)
Ds = K x (Tm + Tr + Th)
Ds
the Safety Distance (in inches)
K
the OSHA/ANSI recommended hand-speed constant (in inches per second), in most cases is calculated at 63 in/s, but may
vary between 63 in/s to 100 in/s based on the application circumstances;
not a conclusive determination; consider all factors, including the physical ability of the operator, when determining the
value of K to be used.
Th
the response time of the slowest hand control from the time when a hand disengages that control until the switch opens;
Th is usually insignificant for purely mechanical switches. However, Th should be considered for safety distance calculation
when using electronic or electromechanical (powered) hand controls.
For Banner Engineering Corp. Self-checking Touch Buttons (STBs) the response time is 0.02 seconds.
Tm
the maximum time (in seconds) the machine takes to cease all motion after it has been tripped. For full revolution clutch
presses with only one engaging point, Tm is equal to the time necessary for one and one-half revolutions of the crankshaft.
For full revolution clutch presses with more than one engaging point, Tm is calculated as follows:
Tm = (1/2 + 1/N) x Tcy
N = number of clutch engaging points per revolution
Tcy = time (in seconds) necessary to complete one revolution of the crankshaft
Tr
the response time of the Safety Controller as measured from the time a stop signal from either hand control is received.
The Safety Controller response time is obtained from the Configuration Summary tab in the Software.
Ts
the overall stop time of the machine (in seconds) from the initial stop signal to the final ceasing of all motion, including stop
times of all relevant control elements and measured at maximum machine velocity.
Ts is usually measured by a stop-time measuring device. If the specified machine stop time is used, add at least 20% as a
safety factor to account for brake system deterioration. If the stop-time of the two redundant machine control elements is
unequal, the slower of the two times must be used for calculating the separation distance.

European Applications
The Minimum Distance Formula, as provided in EN 13855:
S = (K x T) + C
S
the Minimum Distance (in millimeters)
K
the EN 13855 recommended hand-speed constant (in millimeters per second), in most cases is calculated at 1600 mm/s,
but may vary between 1600 mm/s to 2500 mm/s based on the application circumstances;
not a conclusive determination; consider all factors, including the physical ability of the operator, when determining the
value of K to be used.
T
the overall machine stopping response time (in seconds), from the physical initiation of the safety device to the final ceasing
of all motion.
C
the added distance due to the depth penetration factor equals 250 mm, per EN 13855. The EN 13855 C factor may be
reduced to 0 if the risk of encroachment is eliminated, but the safety distance must always be 100 mm or greater.
Example Safety Distance (Ds) Calculation
The following example illustrates the use of the formula to calculate the safety distance for a part-revolution clutch machine. This
example uses 0.50 seconds as a typical value for Ts and 0.02 seconds for Th:
K
=
63 in per second
Ts
=
0.50 seconds (measured by a stop-time measuring device)
Tr
=
0.035 seconds
Th
=
0.02 seconds (STB response time, for this example)
Ds
=
K x (Ts + Tr + Th)
=
63 in (0.50 + 0.035 + 0.02)
=
35 in
In this example, both hand controls must be located no closer than 36" from the nearest hazard point.
Electrical Installation
Because the DUO-TOUCH SG Safety Module interfaces to many types of machine controls, it is not possible to give exact wiring
instructions here. The following guidelines are general in nature.
WARNING:
• Risk of electric shock
• Use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock. Serious injury or death could result.
• Always disconnect power from the safety system (for example, device, module, interfacing, etc.),
guarded machine, and/or the machine being controlled before making any connections or replacing any
component. Lockout/tagout procedures might be required. Refer to OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI
Z244-1, or the applicable standard for controlling hazardous energy.
• Make no more connections to the device or system than are described in this manual. Electrical
installation and wiring must be made by a Qualified Person 1 and must comply with the applicable
electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA 79, or IEC
60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes.

Connection of Input Switches
The actuation devices are connected to the DUO-TOUCH SG module as shown. SW1 and SW2 must both have normally open and
normally closed output contacts, or two current-sourcing complementary outputs each, all capable of reliably switching up to 20 mA,
at 12 V dc. If hand controls have metal housings, the housings must be connected to protective earth ground.
If STB Touch Buttons are used, connect the brown and blue wires to terminals Z1 and Z2. Electronic actuation devices, including
STB Touch Buttons, must use terminals Z1 and Z2 for supply voltage.
WARNING:
• Electronic hand controls cannot guarantee the state of their outputs at the time power is applied
to them
• Failure to power hand controls (such as optical touch buttons, capacitive touch buttons and similar
devices) and the safety module from the same voltage source creates a potentially dangerous condition,
which could result in serious injury or death.
• When electronic hand controls are used as input switches for a safety module, the hand controls and the
safety module must be powered from the same voltage source. If power is applied to the safety module
before power is applied to the electronic hand controls, an output from the safety module could result
and could trigger machine motion.
Connection of Power to the DUO-TOUCH SG Safety Module
The Safety Module requires a 24 V DC, 115 V AC or 230 V AC supply voltage (see Specifications). Use extreme caution whenever
installing ac power. Use a minimum of 16 to 18 AWG wire for power and output connections. A hand-operated supply disconnect (for
example, a circuit breaker) must be provided (per NFPA 79 and IEC/EN 60204).
Connection to the Machine to be Controlled
WARNING:
• Interfacing safety outputs
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Never wire or interface an intermediate device (PLC, PES, PC) that can fail in such a manner that there
is a loss of the safety stop command to the master primary control element(s).
Figure 8 on p. 8 shows a generic connection of the Safety Module’s two redundant output contacts to machine primary control
elements MPCE1 through MPCE4. An MPCE is defined as an electrically-powered element, external to the safety module, which
directly controls the machine’s normal operating motion so that it is the last (in time) to operate when motion is either initiated or
arrested. Some older machines offer only one MPCE; for such machines, it may be necessary to add a second MPCE to establish
the appropriate level of safety integrity (e.g., control reliability).

DUO-TOUCH® SG Series Two-Hand Control Module AT-GM-13A and AT-HM-13A
The connection of the safety outputs must be in such
a manner that the stop command issued by the ATxM-13A can not be overridden by a device or circuit
that is not at the same level of safety integrity. This
means that the safety outputs are interfaced on the
output of the machine logic (e.g., PLC or PC). Then,
normally, a feedback signal identifies to the machine
logic the status of the safety module and, if possible,
the status of the MPCEs. If interposing relays are
used, they must be of mechanically linked (forcedguided) design and monitored by the MPCE
Monitoring Circuit (Y1/Y2).
As a summary, Control Reliability (OSHA
29CFR1910.217, ANSI B11, and ANSI/RIA R15.06)
and Category 3 and 4 (ISO13849-1) requirements
demand that a single failure does not lead to the loss
of the safety function, or does not prevent a normal or
immediate stop from occurring. The failure or the fault
must be detected at or before the next demand of
safety (e.g., at the beginning or end of a cycle, or
when a safeguard is actuated). The safety-related
function of the machine control then must issue an
immediate stop command or prevent the next
machine cycle or hazardous situation until the failure
or fault is corrected. The user must refer to the
relevant standard(s) for complete information.

As shown, a normally-closed, mechanically linked monitor contact from each of the four MPCEs must be connected in series across
terminals Y1 and Y2. This allows the Safety Module to monitor the state of the MPCEs, and to prevent a successive machine cycle,
if an MPCE fault is detected. Monitoring MPCE contacts is one method of maintaining control reliability. When MPCE monitor
contacts are not available, a jumper wire must be installed across terminals Y1 and Y2.
When a jumper wire is used (dotted line between Y1 and Y2 in Figure 8 on p. 8), it is the user’s responsibility to provide an
appropriate level of safety for the means of machine interfacing to ensure that any single MPCE component failure will not result in
the loss of safety.
WARNING:
• Properly install arc or transient suppressors
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Install any suppressors as shown across the coils of the machine primary control elements. Do not
install suppressors directly across the output contacts of the safety or interface module. In such a
configuration, it is possible for suppressors to fail as a short circuit.
When switching inductive AC loads, it is good practice to protect the Safety Module outputs by installing appropriately-sized arc
suppressors. However, if arc suppressors are used, they must be installed across the load being switched (for example, across the
coils of external safety relays), and never across the Safety Module’s output contacts.
Checkout Procedures
This section lists the schedule of checkout procedures and describes where each procedure is documented. Checkouts must be
performed as described. Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example, near the machine, and/or in a
technical file).
Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described. However, a qualified person (or team)
should evaluate these generic recommendations considering their specific application and determine the appropriate frequency of
checkouts. This will generally be determined by a risk assessment, such as the one contained in ANSI B11.0. The result of the risk
assessment will drive the frequency and content of the periodic checkout procedures and must be followed.

Engineering Corp. device and the guarded/controlled machine until the defect or problem has been
corrected.
To perform the initial checkout, it is necessary to view the red Fault LED and the four green Status indicators: Power, Input 1, Input 2
and Output. Proceed with caution around open wiring.
1. Verify the two actuating devices are properly connected to the DUO-TOUCH SG Safety Module.
2. Apply power to the Safety Module and to the actuating devices, if applicable.
3. Verify that only the Power indicator is ON.
• If any of the other Safety Module indicators are ON, disconnect the power to the Safety Module and check all wiring. Do
not continue this checkout procedure until the cause of the problem is corrected.
4. Activate both hand controls simultaneously (within 0.5 seconds), and hold them engaged.
Input 1 and Input 2 indicators should come ON.
5. Release both hand controls simultaneously.
Output indicators should go OFF.
6. Again, activate the two hand controls simultaneously, and hold them engaged.
Input 1, Input 2, and Output indicators should come ON.
7. Release one hand control, while holding the other engaged.
One of the Input indicators should remain ON. The Output indicator should go OFF.
8. Re-activate the hand control which was just released.
The Output indicator should remain OFF.
9. Release both hand controls.
Input 1 and Input 2 indicators should then be OFF.
10. Activate only one hand control and hold it engaged.
Input 1 (or Input 2) indicator should come ON.
11. After more than 1/2 second, activate the second hand control.
Input 1 and 2 indicators should remain ON, while Output indicator remains OFF.
12. Remove power from the Safety Module and disconnect the monitor contact feedback loop at terminals Y1 and/or Y2.
13. Re-apply power to the Safety Module.
14. Activate both hand controls simultaneously.
Output indicator LED should remain OFF.
If the DUO-TOUCH SG Safety Module passes all of these tests, reconnect the output wires at terminals 13/14, 23/24, 33/34 and
43/44, and the monitor contact feedback loop at terminals Y1 and Y2. Do not attempt to use the DUO-TOUCH SG Two-Hand
Control Safety Module until all of the tests are passed.

DUO-TOUCH® SG Series Two-Hand Control Module AT-GM-13A and AT-HM-13A
WARNING:
• Do not use the system until the checkouts are verified
• Attempts to use the guarded/controlled machine before these checks are verified could result in serious
injury or death.
• If all these checks cannot be verified, do not attempt to use the safety system that includes the Banner
Engineering Corp. device and the guarded/controlled machine until the defect or problem has been
corrected.
1. Verify that all point-of-operation guards are in place and operating properly.
2. Verify that the two actuating devices must be simultaneously engaged to actuate the machine.
3. For single-cycle machines: Verify that maintained engagement of the two actuating devices results in only one machine
cycle.
4. For part-revolution clutch machinery: Verify that release of either actuating device results in the immediate arrest of the
machine motion.
5. Verify that the distance from each actuating device to the closest hazard point is not less than the calculated separation
(safety) distance (see Separation Distance).
Semi-Annual Checkout
To be performed at six-month intervals.
WARNING:
• Do not use the system until the checkouts are verified
• Attempts to use the guarded/controlled machine before these checks are verified could result in serious
injury or death.
• If all these checks cannot be verified, do not attempt to use the safety system that includes the Banner
Engineering Corp. device and the guarded/controlled machine until the defect or problem has been
corrected.
This semi-annual checkout must be performed by a Qualified Person 2. A copy of test results should be kept on or near the machine.
1. Perform the daily checkout procedure (see Daily Checkout).
2. Perform the initial checkout procedure (see Initial Checkout).
3. Calculate the separation distance (see Separation Distance), and verify that the actuating devices are far enough away from
the nearest hazard point. Relocate the actuating devices, if necessary.
4. Verify that the actuating devices are positioned to require the use of both hands for operation, and are protected from false
or inadvertent operation.
5. Inspect the machine controls and the connections to the DUO-TOUCH SG Safety Module to ensure that wiring is correct, as
described in Electrical Installation, and that no modifications have been made which could adversely affect the System.
