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

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

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 re-actuated. This logic
reduces the possibility of defeating the two-hand control by tying down one or both hand controls.

Muting M1 and M2 Inputs
"Muting" is the automatic suspension of the safeguarding function of a safety device during a non-hazardous portion of the machine
cycle.
To mute the two-hand control buttons appropriately, the muting system's design must:
1. Identify the non-hazardous portion of the machine cycle,
2. Involve the selection of the proper muting devices, and
3. Include proper mounting and installation of those devices.
The M1 and M2 muting devices must have normally open contacts, or one device with a PNP output and one device with an NPN output.
Both devices must fulfill certain input requirements (see Muting Device Inputs in
may be used, including (but not limited to): limit switches, photoelectric sensors (opposed or polarized-retroreflective), positive-driven
safety switches, and inductive proximity sensors.
