The Bray Series 5A, 5B and 5C Valve Status Monitors (VSM) provide reliable visual and electrical position indication on any VDI/VDE 3845-compliant quarter-turn device. Series 5B features a larger body to accommodate up to 20 terminal points and six switches for increased customization. Certifications: CE, cULus (most models), SIL 3 capable; optional: ATEX, IECEx. Switch options: mechanical SPDT, DPDT; proximity: PNP, NPN, 140V 2-wire, 250V 2-wire, reed, NAMUR intrinsic safety. Conduit ports: 2x ¾" NPT or 2x M25. Visual display: high visibility indicator; beacon color options: red/yellow (standard), red/green, black/yellow, red/green inverse. Temperature range: -25ºC to 65ºC.
A. Enclosure: the compact low profile weatherproof VSM is UL certified NEMA Type 4, 4x and IP66/67. Aluminum base and cover for exceptional corrosion, wear and impact resistance.
B. High visibility position indicator: visual open and closed indication is provided with an impact resistant dome style indicator. Inverting the open and closed visual output is easily done by rotating the indicator dome 90 degrees. There is no need to remove the switchbox aluminum cover and expose internal wiring of the VSM to change position indication.
C. Stub shaft secondary seal: ensures indicator area is separate from the VSM’s internals. Provides a secondary seal to prevent water ingress should the dome or dome seal become compromised due to adverse site conditions.
D. Captive cover bolts: the cover is attached to the base by captive stainless steel bolts placed outside the sealing area.
E. Protective washers: clear, nonmetallic, corrosion resistant washers are used to ensure coating integrity when cover bolts are tightened.
F. O-ring seal for watertight enclosure: the O-ring seal between the cover and base provides a weatherproof seal to prevent water ingress and internal corrosion.
G. Sensor cams: splined cam design allows for easy and accurate setting of switch activation without the use of tools.
H. Limit switches: up to six switch options and configurations to meet connectivity requirements.
I. Terminals: clearly marked terminal blocks are angled towards the user to ensure easy access.
J. Conduit entries: two conduit entries available in either imperial or metric threads.
K. Grounding: green color-coded, easy-access grounding bolt.
