Features and Benefits
Compact Design
Compact construction significantly minimizes valve package envelope size.
Quick Set Cams
The operating position of the switches can be easily changed by manually adjusting the high-resolution spline cams. The cams are spring backed and will not be affected by normal vibration.
Easy Wiring
The 48 Series comes standard with a 10-point terminal strip, which accommodates an external solenoid valve and is fitted with two (2) ½” NPT conduit entries (M20x1.5 upon request). This feature eliminates costly junction boxes and associated labor.
High Visibility Beacon
High visibility indicator offers clear location of the current valve position. Alternative 3-way (L-Port and T-Port) indicators as well as throttle Arrow indicators for butterfly valves applications are also available.
Captive Cover Bolts
Switch boxes come standard with stainless steel captive cover bolts.
Inclusive Mounting Bracket
NAMUR 80mm x 30mm x H30mm stainless steel bracket supplied as standard with stainless steel fastening hardware for ease in mounting the switch box onto an actuator. Available upon request, a universal stainless steel mounting bracket suitable for NAMUR 80mm x 30mm x H20mm and 80mm x 130mm x H50mm.
Certified
CSA Approved for Classes 3211 06 and 3211 86 for Industrial Controls Equipment. Testing conducted according to the applicable sections of CAN/CSA C22/2. ANSI/UL 508 and ANSI/UL 50.
