The Banner OTBVP6L is a rugged and dependable optical touch button designed for reliable operator input in industrial automation systems. Unlike illuminated models, the OTBVP6L is a non-illuminated version, making it an excellent choice for applications where only input functionality is required, without the need for integrated status indication. With its robust build and straightforward design, it delivers long-lasting performance in demanding manufacturing and process environments.

Operating on a 10–30 V DC supply, the OTBVP6L integrates easily into a wide variety of control systems, including PLCs, machine controllers, and distributed I/O modules. Its low power requirements and compatibility with common industrial voltages ensure smooth, dependable operation across a broad range of industries. The unit is supplied with a 2 m pre-wired cable, providing a secure electrical connection and simplifying installation without the need for additional connectors or adaptors.

Designed for industrial use, the OTBVP6L carries an IP66 rating, ensuring protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets. Its robust construction also meets NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 12, and 13 standards, providing resistance to corrosion, oil, non-corrosive liquids, and other environmental contaminants. This makes the OTBVP6L suitable for use in a wide variety of environments, from general manufacturing to more challenging applications involving moisture, dirt, or cleaning processes.

The OTBVP6L uses Banner’s proven optical touch technology, which relies on infrared sensing rather than mechanical parts. This design eliminates mechanical wear and significantly extends service life compared to traditional push buttons. With no moving components, the button is resistant to vibration and shock, ensuring consistent operation in high-cycle or harsh environments. It requires only a light touch to activate, reducing operator fatigue and improving efficiency.

The non-illuminated design makes the OTBVP6L ideal for systems where visual indication is not necessary or where separate status indicators are already in place. Its simple construction provides a cost-effective solution while still delivering the reliability and durability expected of Banner’s touch button technology.

Typical applications for the OTBVP6L include start/stop control of machinery, operator input on production lines, workstation task confirmation, and process control functions. It is particularly well-suited for environments where frequent operator interaction is required and where durable, low-maintenance input devices are essential.

In summary, the Banner OTBVP6L is a non-illuminated optical touch button designed for straightforward, durable operator input. With its infrared touch-sensing technology, 10–30 V DC operation, IP66/NEMA multi-standard protection, and 2 m pre-wired cable, it provides a rugged, reliable, and long-lasting alternative to mechanical push buttons. For engineers and system designers seeking a dependable operator interface in challenging environments, the OTBVP6L offers an efficient and cost-effective solution.
