Valve Position Transmitters Overview History
Advantages of Valve Position Indication are Proven

• Three products combined into one unit
• Visual indicator
• Electrical indicator
• Local junction box for termination of solenoid
  valve, limit switches and other devices
• Status of all valves is known in control room
• increases safety and control
• Visible indicator speeds system checking
• Can be used with electrical limit switch
  indication or as a stand alone visual indicator
  only
• For automated and manually operated valves

Why Choose Moniteur? Part One Visual Indication
P2-05
6
The Patented Moniteur Visual Indicator
Field Experience Valve position indicator is too
small, or fogged to such an extent that the
position cannot be determined

• Solution The Patented Moniteur Visual Indicator
• 360º indication with 100 display change
• Larger, full viewing area provides up to twice
  the viewing distance
• EKTAR clear cover is chemically resistant and
  sealed with a compression o-ring to prevent
  fogging
• Widest variety of colors and flow patterns
  available

Field Experience Valve position indicator is not
rugged enough for the industrial environment

• Solution The Rugged Moniteur Indicator
• No screws or flanges prevent cover from cracking
  in the field under hard use
• Delrin drive system allows a rated life of
  1,000,000 cycles
• NO failures in over 250,000 units installed

P2-06

The Moniteur Indicator
Field Experience Visual position indication does
not match electrical indication and / or cannot
adjust properly to the valve or actuator

• Solution The Moniteur Setting Ring
• Fully 360º adjustable for all valve and actuator
  types
• Indicator sits on pins 180º apart, preventing
  incorrect mounting
• Clear cover has no decals or paint that must be
  aligned with the indicator drum

Field Experience On-Off valve indicator is
confusing for 3-way , 4-way or 180 degree valves

• Solution Moniteurs extensive range of
  indicators
• 3-way path O, T and F
• 4 way path S
• 180 degree 3-way path T and L
• 0-100 digital indicator

Premium Mechanical Switches Increase Switching
Reliability In All Applications

• SPDT Mechanical Switches rated to 15A
• Enclosed in a protective housing for protection
  against electric shock
• Each switch is individually labeled to ensure
  proper termination
• Stiffer contact spring specified for resistance
  to dirt and freezing
• High temperature switches specified as standard

Non-Contact Proximity Switches
Hermetically Sealed Non-Contact Reed
Switches Excel In Aggressive Environments

• Rhodium TTL SPDT / SPST - Rhodium elements are
  rated 1A at 24VDC,
• for low current / voltage DC control signal
  applications (less than 20ma).
• MTBF gt 1,000,000 cycles, contact resistance 1/5
  of Tungsten

• Tungsten TTL SPDT- Tungsten elements provide high
  current handling capability to 3A / 120VAC. The
  choice for AC feedback signals.

• Krystal TTL SPDT - LED Set Lights plus Rhodium
  elements provide
• 0.3A current rating at 24VDC or 120 VAC.

TTL switches are driven by a nickel plated magnet
encapsulated in the cam mounted on the shaft.
The magnet trips the switch element enclosed in
the switch housing. Moniteurs patented loc-ring
shaft retention system insures reliable output
signals.

• Choose TTL Switches for damp, humid or corrosive
  environments, low current feedback signals and
  high cycling applications where signal
  reliability is critical to the process.
• TTL Switches are hermetically sealed and can be
  used in Division 2 - Groups A, B, C D
  environments without conduit seal fittings.

Inductive Sensors
Inductive Sensors match your advanced Process
Control System

• Pepperl Fuchs popular NJ2-V3 NAMUR sensor is FM
  approved Intrinsically Safe and is specified at
  plants worldwide. NBB2-V3-Z4, NBB2-V3-US, and
  SJ1.5-SN/S1N sensors are also available

• Efector NS 5003 NAMUR sensor is also FM approved
  Intrinsically Safe
• and includes setting lights built into the sensor

Inductive Sensors are solid state (no moving
parts) and constantly provide a feedback signal.
They are the most reliable sensor type, with a
MTBF of over 20 million cycles. When the metallic
trigger enters the sensors magnetic field, the
signal strength changes. This signal differential
is used to indicate valve position.
Choose Inductive Sensors for applications
requiring 2-wire sensor output. Because they
consume power during normal operation, Inductive
Sensors can and must have Intrinsically Safe
approval to be used in a hazardous area.

Common Switch Problems

• Field Experience Intermittent feedback signals
  due to switch corrosion
• Cause Switch not chosen for corrosive
  applications
• Solution Choose switch for environment
• Hermetically Sealed TTL Non-Contact switches can
  replace SPDT mechanical switches with no change
  in wiring or programming
• Hermetically Sealed Inductive Sensors

• Field Experience Intermittent feedback signals -
  DC control signals
• Cause Switch not suitable for low level DC
  signals
• Solution Choose Rhodium TTL Proximity Switches
• Standard Tungsten contacts are not stable for low
  current, low voltage DC signals
• Due to low contact resistance, Rhodium TTL
  proximity switches can handle signals as low as
  5ma _at_ 5VDC.

Field Experience Intermittent feedback
signals Cause Cams not set properly Solution
Set cams with a meter and not by eye - this is a
common problem

Series 40 High Performance Positioners
Typical Problems With Common Positioners Poor
Accuracy and Repeatability Standard positioners
have poor accuracy and repeatability, with
typical specs of 1.5 for linearity,
repeatability and hysteresis. Temperature and
Vibration Effect Standard 4-20 positioners are
greatly affected by temperature changes and
vibration Hunting Standard Positioners cannot
hold a set position for many applications,
primarily those with smaller actuators and/or low
operating torque requirements. Air Consumption
Most positioners bleed 0.60 SCFM or more, costing
hundreds of dollars per positioner per year in
compressed air costs Clogging of the Internal
Spool Valve Dirty plant air clogs internal
spool air delivery valves, causing poor
performance and hang-up Setting Difficulty

Series 40 High Performance Positioners

• The Series 40 Offers High Performance From
  Advanced Technology
• Torque Motor I/P The Series 40 uses a Torque
  Motor for the Current to Pneumatic Conversion
  I/P.
• Automatic compensation for supply pressure,
  atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature
  changes.
• I/P is unaffected by EMF
• The vibration resistant design has no resonance
  effects from 5-200Hz there are no levers
  controlling valve position.
• The input signal drives the torque motor, which
  generates a torque proportional to the the
  signal, which in turn operates a nozzle-flapper
  mechanism to generate the pneumatic signal.
• The pneumatic signal controls a relay which
  ultimately sends the output pressure to control
  the valve.
• Improved Hysteresis, Linearity and Sensitivity
  when compared with traditional electronic
  transducers.

Series 40 High Performance Positioners

• Flapper Pilot Valve The Series 40 uses a Flapper
  Valve for air delivery to the actuator.
• Reduced air consumption by 50
• Enhanced resistance to dirty plant air no
  spools used in valve
• High air delivery
• High temperature to 266 F
• Optional restricted orifice for both small volume
  actuators and valves with low torque reduce
