Series WCX Specifications
34-ST-03-41 February 2010
The OneWireless™ XYR™ 6000 Valve Position Sensor allows
Achieve Higher Efficiency and Productivity
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.
•
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
•
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.
•
•
Remotely monitor from anywhere in the facility
Reduce monitoring costs by eliminating manual valve
checks
•
Reduce potential for unintended mixing of fluids
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.
