VTB Pick-to-Light Optical Touch Button
Datasheet
Ergonomic optical touch button for pick-to-light applications
•
•
Microcontroller-based photoelectric touch buttons
A cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative to capacitive touch switches and
mechanical push buttons for errorproofing and parts-verification applications
•
•
Ergonomically designed to eliminate hand, wrist, and arm stresses associated
with repeated switch operation; requires no physical pressure to operate
Illuminated base provides a bright, easy-to-see job light in one or two colors,
depending on model
•
•
•
•
LED power and output indicators
NPN or PNP output, depending on model
Immune to ambient light, EMI and RFI interference
High excess gain cuts through heavy airborne contamination to function in almost
any environment; optional protective field cover available
•
12 to 30 V dc operation

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. (For example, VTBN6 W/30.)
Models with a quick disconnect (QD) connector require a mating cable. (See Quick Disconnect (QD) Cables on page 5).
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.
