Feedback system for hand valves MT

Overview

• Multi-turn valve sensor for industrial applications providing fast, non-intrusive mounting and continuous remote monitoring of manual valve position.
• Adjustable mounting system fits multi-turn and rising-stem valves, enabling installation in under two minutes without process interruption.
• Secure LoRaWAN connectivity for near real-time status updates in hazardous or hard-to-reach environments.
• Designed for industrial reliability with IP65 protection, ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 and cFMus Class I Division 1 certification, and battery life up to 5 years.

Product description

• The NEON Multi-turn (MT) Valve Sensor (VS MT) is a LoRaWAN transmitter with integrated magnetic encoder that provides precise positional feedback and reliable open/closed state detection for manual multi-turn valves.
• Non-intrusive installation using the supplied adjustable mounting kit (specialised kit for rising-stem MT valves) removes the need for process shutdown.
• Certified for hazardous atmospheres: ATEX / IECEx Zone 1 (Ex II 2G Ex ia IIB T4 Gb) and cFMus Class I Division 1 (Groups C + D); operational temperature -40°C to +80°C.
• Operates on privately hosted LoRaWAN networks (EU868; US915; AS923 on request) and integrates with DCS/SCADA for near real-time reporting.
• Battery powered (3.6 Ah nominal) with expected life up to 5 years depending on environment and usage profile.
• Detects valve state as fully closed or fully open with angle-based detection: state change triggered after 2 mm vertical movement; typical error offset 1 mm.
