There are exceptions, but psi-tech which requires psi powers to operate is typically limited to psionic races. The examples I can think of off the top of my head are the Betazoid psionically-activated chests, the Vulcan Stone of Gol (and possibly katric arks), and possibly the Bajoran "Orbs."
Human-created tech allows someone without powers to do the equivalent of psionic mind-reading or mind-probe, but without needing any knowledge of psi to do so. Instead, such devices use a relevant skill or Electrical Operations/TL (Appropriate Specialty).
