Compact Inductive Sensor for Accurate Quarter-Turn Valve Positioning in Harsh Environments
Inductive Proximity Sensor
The Series 54 proximity sensor provides position indication for quarter turn valves. The superior design offers reliable and durable valve monitoring and control solutions for efficient plant operation.
The compact Series 54 directly mounts to VDI/VDE 3845 compliant actuators resulting in a smaller actuator profile while saving on cost. Various electrical output options allow integration of the Series 54 into all standard process control environments.
Features:
Two independent sensors for open and close valve position indication
Optimal design for high pressure washdowns and caustic washdown service
Hermetically sealed to protect against the ingress of liquids or solids
Suitable for dirty process environments and rapid cycling applications
Rugged design resistant to shock, vibration, UV and corrosion
Maintenance free design
Non-contact sensor eliminates the effect of mechanical wear
Eliminates potential switch welding, arcing and sparking
Quick and easy installation
LED indication for sensor power, switch and solenoid status
AS-i sensor available for digital network solution for valve actuator interface
