VPIF Valve Position Indicator

The Valve Position Indicator, model VPIF, is a digital monitoring module for use with Sealed Motor Valves (SMV). The VPIF displays the valve position during normal (automatic) operation. It can also be used to locally open or close the valve. This is particularly helpful when servicing or recalibrating the valve is required.

The large LED readout displays the valve position (in percent). The VPIF contains an internal independent current source, which is switch selectable for 4 mA (close) and 20 mA (open). The VPIF can be mounted on or near the valve for ease of use and visibility. This provides better accessibility for technicians when valves are mounted high in the air or in obstructed areas.

The VPIF can be mounted up to 10 feet (3 meters) in any direction from the valve. VPIEC Extension Cables are available where more length is required.position.
  • Provides local indication of the SMV valve position
  • Facilitates SMV recalibration
  • Versatile installation options
  • Large LED readout
  • Watertight corrosion resistant enclosure (NEMA4X)

Advantages

The VPIF displays valve position locally while passing the feedback signal if it is to be monitored remotely. For recalibration of SMV, the VPIF will output either 4 mA (close) or 20 mA (open). An externally mounted, waterproof three position switch is used for positioning of the SMV.

The VPIF valve position feedback can alert operators to unstable control schemes. This feature is very important to the proper operation of the refrigeration system and the life of the Sealed Motor Valve. The VPIF is compact and reliable at very low temperatures. Waterproof quick disconnect connectors allow for easy removal of the SMV power head for service.

APPLICATIONS

The VPIF may be installed on the following Sealed Motor Valve series models:
- HMXV
- HMMV
- HMMR
