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. The explosion-proof Series 5C provides unparalleled protection and reliability during service in the harshest environments. These solutions enable end users to better monitor their process, no matter the conditions. Certifications: CE, cULus, ATEX, IECEx, SIL 3 capable. Switch options: mechanical SPDT, DPDT; proximity: PNP, NPN. Conduit ports: NPT 2x ¾", NPT 1x ½ or 2x M25, 1x M20. High visibility indicator visual display, 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 IP66/67/68. 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. Washers: stainless steel corrosion resistant washers provide larger contact surface for the captive bolts to secure the cover to the base.
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: three conduit entries available in either imperial or metric threads.
K. Grounding: green color-coded, easy-access grounding bolt.
