Description

The Quartz monitors and reports valve position with visual indicator and signals to your controller.It is available with 4-20 position feedback signal. The position monitor is FM, CSA and CENELEC approved for hazardous areas. The Stainless steel and epoxy anodized aluminium enclosure options allow this position monitor to be used in heavy washdown environments. It optionaly features two high intensity red and green LED to instantly confirm valve position localy. Choose between 3-wire PNP/NPN. NAMUR sensors, or SST switching. The Quartz is also available with different communication modules including AS-Interface, Foundation Fieldbuss, and DeviceNet.
