The OneWireless™ XYR™ 6000 Valve Position Sensor allows
remote, reliable valve position monitoring in a variety of
applications to avoid the time and safety risk of manually
monitoring valves in hazardous areas and remote installations.
Wireless technology eliminates the need for communications
cabling or power line installation, saving time and money.
The XYR 6000 Valve Position Sensor is based on the proven
and reliable MICRO SWITCH™ CX series hazardous location
limit switch available for more than 40 years. These robust
sensors are constructed to withstand the pressure of an
internal explosion.
By combining the proven functionality of MICRO SWITCH
technology with an enabler like the OneWireless network,
position sensors can now be used for many more remote
monitoring applications, including: positioners, manual process
valves, safety shower notification, tank level indication, door
position, louver/damper position, or any other presence,
absence or position sensing application where installing wires
is inefficient or cost-prohibitive.
The XYR 6000 Valve Position Sensor delivers the following
benefits:
Reliable Operations
• Accurately monitor process parameters in real-time
• Rapid disaster recovery capability
• Identify stuck valve condition
• Monitor true valve position to minimize risk of fluid
mixing or cross-contamination
Enhance Safety
• Reduce need for human site monitoring in areas that
pose a safety risk
Reduce Environmental Risk
• Reduce the potential for environmental incidence
through the explosion-proof packaging of the sensor
mechanism
• Identify true position of valve to minimize risk of
unwanted fluid release
Achieve Higher Efficiency and Productivity
• Increase process efficiencies through accurate valve
position monitoring
• Electronic tagging of all valves in system
• Improve efficiency of scheduled maintenance by
targeting valves that have degraded
• Scalability and flexibility with the ability to add/move
valve position sensors
• Remotely monitor from anywhere in the facility
• Reduce monitoring costs by eliminating manual valve
checks
• Reduce potential for unintended mixing of fluids
Lower System and Commissioning Costs
• Reduce wiring material and labor costs
• Easily and quickly retrofit existing equipment
• Reduce system complexity
• Configure set points electronically
• Eliminate the need for conduit easements
• Reduce or eliminate need for additional permits
