The Banner K30APT2GREQ is a compact, rugged, and highly visible capacitive touch button designed to provide reliable operator interface capabilities in modern industrial environments. Part of Banner’s trusted K30 series, this model combines intuitive touch activation with bright dual-colour LED indication and robust environmental protection, making it ideal for demanding applications where clarity, hygiene, and durability are essential.

At its core, the K30APT2GREQ features capacitive touch technology, enabling operators to activate the device with a light touch rather than a mechanical press. This non-mechanical design reduces wear and tear, ensures a longer operational life, and allows activation even when users are wearing gloves. Because the button requires no moving parts, it is particularly well-suited for environments where hygiene is critical, such as food and beverage processing or pharmaceutical manufacturing, as it minimises crevices where dirt or debris could accumulate.

The unit also incorporates integrated green and red LED indicators, which provide clear, high-visibility feedback to operators. The dome-shaped lens ensures uniform illumination across the button surface, allowing operators to easily identify status changes from multiple viewing angles. For example, green may signal “ready” or “go,” while red can indicate “stop,” “fault,” or “attention.” This dual-colour capability allows the button to serve both as an input device and a visual indicator, streamlining equipment design and reducing hardware requirements.

Built for harsh conditions, the K30APT2GREQ is rated to IP67 and IP69K, ensuring protection against dust, water immersion, and high-pressure washdowns. In addition, it meets NEMA/UL 4X and 13 standards, which provide corrosion resistance and protection against oils, coolants, and other industrial contaminants. This makes the button suitable for environments that demand frequent cleaning or exposure to tough conditions, while maintaining reliable performance and visual clarity.

Operating on a 12–30 V DC supply voltage, the device integrates easily with standard automation and control systems. The broad voltage range supports flexibility in deployment across various applications, ensuring compatibility without the need for additional power conditioning.

With its base-mount dome housing, the K30APT2GREQ provides a compact and ergonomic design that conserves panel space while still offering excellent operator visibility. Its simple installation and bright illumination make it a practical solution for integration into machines, control panels, or operator guidance systems.

Typical applications include start/stop control, machine status indication, call-for-parts systems, operator guidance in assembly lines, and quality check confirmations. Its rugged construction and touch activation make it particularly valuable in industries where traditional mechanical pushbuttons may wear quickly or fail under washdown conditions.

In summary, the Banner K30APT2GREQ Capacitive Touch Button combines capacitive activation, dual-colour LED indication, rugged IP67/IP69K and NEMA/UL 4X, 13 protection, and compact dome housing into a versatile and durable operator interface solution. Built for reliability, hygiene, and ease of integration, it is an ideal choice for engineers and system designers seeking dependable operator controls in challenging industrial environments.
