Visual valve position indication with Proximity explosion-proof position indicators provides convenience and enhanced safety in valve monitoring.

For the convenience of the control valve user, a compact, adjustable stainless steel visual indicator is provided on all direct-drive Proximity position indicating switches and transmitters. These industrial switches are commonly mounted on quarter-turn pneumatic actuators and valves. A magnetic design provides maximum safety by allowing complete sealing of the switch cavity. Over 2000 specific applications are covered with an extensive line of mounting kits built for individual valve and actuator brands and model numbers. As the valve and actuator is cycled, the input shaft of the position indicator rotates, causing a stainless steel cylinder to rotate inside a second stainless steel cylinder with windows. When the valve is open, the word "OPEN" appears in the two windows located 180° apart. The compact and durable visual indicator displays discrete endpoints (OPEN or CLOSED) as well as scaled degrees (0-90). LED and flow path outputs are available options. Up to three conduit entrances allow utilization of this flexible indicator as a junction box for additional convenience as well as material and labor cost reduction to the user.
