TopWorx 4310 Wireless Position Monitoring

March 04, 2011

Manual ball, butterfly, and plug valves are widely used in process plants, utilities, terminals, and tank farms for isolating, venting, drainage and sampling.

Important as these components are, rarely do they employ position monitoring, as historically, this would have required wiring to monitor all these valves.

Not anymore.

The TopWorx 4310 wireless position monitor for manual valves eliminates field wiring to the control room, I/O and safety barriers - eliminating the need for line breakage and short circuit monitoring.

Typically, manual valves don’t have feedback, but they do have a history of causing problems by being left in the wrong state. This causes operations and safety issues that could be prevented by early feedback.

Increased monitoring establishes greater awareness of equipment. Also, productivity and personnel safety increases, due to reduction in unnecessary site walks.

Instead of requiring your employees to make the time for these inspections, employ wireless monitoring, which can be set up to monitor as often as your schedule requires.

Benefits

• Any quarter turn application or sliding stem valve is ideally suited for the 4300. 
• Provides trending for open/closed frequency with time stamp.
• Simple to use, compact, and easily mounted.
