Valve Position Indicator 32321149 VPX Series Issue E Datasheet FEATURES DESCRIPTION Valve Position Indicator, VPX Series switches are built especially for outdoor use in potentially hazardous atmospheres. The switch enclosures are constructed to withstand the pressure of an internal explosion. Flame paths cool the exploded gases to a point less than the lowest safe operating temperature of the surrounding gas. The VPX Series versions equipped with the inductive proximity switches has the Intrinsically Safe (IS) rating. Regardless of where the equipment or machinery is designed, built or installed, the VPX Series products carry global agency coverage. The VPX Series switches have standard rugged die-cast aluminum housing. The products housing is weather sealed for outdoor use and comply with NEMA 4X requirement for protection against corrosion, in addition to various NEMA enclosure standards. The product's o-ring seals make the enclosure rain tight, but are outside of required flame paths so explosion proof requirements are maintained. The VPX Series switches are available in multiple colors and angles, visible from all directions. Unless special ordered, all basic switches operate on clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. DIFFERENTIATION * With numerous environmental ratings (Ingress Protection and NEMA), the VPX Series is protected for all kinds of outdoor conditions * VPX Series is certified flame-proof, explosion-proof and Intrinsically Safe (optional), thereby making the product safe for a wide variety of potentially hazardous area applications * The Safety Integrity Level, SIL 3 certification, puts the VPX Series in the higher safety category as compared to its competitors Sensing and Internet of Things * VPX Series switches are certified for ATEX, IEC Ex, CE, cULus, NEPSI, and KOSHA specifications for global applications that requires protection from explosive gases, vapors & combustible dust * Die-cast aluminum housing and various sealing (NEMA 4, 4X, 6, and 13), certifies the VPX Series is rated for rain, wind, snow, ice and blowing dust environments * Wide operating temperature range from -40 C to 80 C (see Table 1 for detailed specifications) * Versions of the VPX with proximity switches carry an Intrinsically Safe (IS) rating * Well suited for up to 500,000 actuation cycles * Available in multiple indicator colors that is visible from all directions VALUE TO CUSTOMERS * cULus, ATEX, IEC EX, NEPSI, and KOSHA certified for hazardous (explosive) environments * Designed with the end user in mind, these switches help to create user-friendly interfaces with broad applications possibilities to help meet the challenges of many different environments * Weather sealed to NEMA and IP ratings * Reliable, dependable and accurate * Versions available in both snap-action switches and intrinsically safe inductive proximity switches POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Seaside grain and duel loading docks Oil and gas wells Refineries Fuel storage facilities Mining Petrochemical and chemical plants Waste water treatment facilities Oil and gas production pipeline networks Paint batching/blending plants Pharmaceuticals and drug processing plants Food and beverage industries Pesticides manufacturing plants Textile dyeing and finishing plants Lead acid battery manufacturing facilities PORTFOLIO The VPX Series joins the CX Series of valve position indicator switches for hazardous areas applications. The standard offerings of the VPX Series is certified for flammable gases, vapors and combustible dust. The VPX Series also offers the Intrinsically Safe versions (optional).
