Moniteur's new Scout VPT series provides cost effective low profile position sensing for actuators utilizing NAMUR accessory mounting. These advanced sensors are available in both PNP and NAMUR output versions for compatibility with today's modern plant control systems

Principle of Operation:

Simple in concept, the Scout VPT is easy and quick to assemble. The Position Transmitter "puck" mounts directly to the NAMUR accessory output shaft of your actuator. The double sensor block mounts to the accessory holes of the actuator. There is no adjustment or calibration required once the VPT has been installed.

Applications:

  • Compact valve position indication for applications where minimal space is available.
  • Intrinsically Safe. NAMUR Inductive Sensors are rated Intrinsically Safe and must be used with an approved current and voltage limiting barrier.
  • To locally ascertain valve position, the SCOUT Sensors include lights in the housing.

Mounting:
The position indicator kit includes the target puck and all mounting hardware for NAMUR standard actuators.


The SCOUT Valve Postion Controller's approach to low profile position sensing is a millenium-sized advance for the NAMUR style actuator market. Incorporating SCOUT VPCs advances your automated valves into the ASI and DeviceNet networking arena!

The SCOUT Valve Position Transmitter's approach to low profile position sensing is a millenium-sized advance for the NAMUR actuator market. Available in many output versions, incorporating the SCOUT VPT in your plant advances your automated valves into the forefront of control technology!

Features:

  • Solid State Inductive Sensors standard on all SCOUT VPTs offer a virtually unlimited cycle life
  • Available in many circuit configurations - Choose from AC, DC PNP, DC 2-wire and NAMUR for direct integration into your plant's process control system
  • Fully Enclosed Sensor Electronics with no exposed resins make the Scout the ideal choice for corrosive, humid or washdown environments
  • Moniteur's optional EASYConnect solenoid mounting allows solenoid power to be routed through the sensor block, making additional junction housings unnecessary
  • Indicator LEDs located on the sensor block clearly verify network, sensor and solenoid operation, and valve position locally
  • Simple Installation - The Position Transmitter target mounts directly to the NAMUR output shaft of your actuator, while the sensor block mounts to the holes. No adjustment or calibration is required once the VPT has been installed
  • A Full line of complementary cables and connectors take the guesswork out of selecting the right accessories for your Scout.

Mounting:
The position indicator kit includes the target puck and all mounting hardware for actuators with NAMUR accessory mounting. See exploded diagram at right.
