Green Top Control and Indication Unit

00001102
A System for More Control and Versatility
Green Top Control and Indication Unit

Application

To accommodate the trend towards custom control needs, an optional control housing module is available for our butterfly valves and our 700 series valves in place of the standard visual valve position indicator.

Working Principle

The top is fitted on the valve actuator. An extension attached to the actuator piston moves up and down with the valve movement. This movement is then seen by the position sensors and a digital signal is sent back to the PLC control system.

Standard Design

The control module is designed for fast assembly and disassembly. It can be mounted at either end of the actuator to accommodate normally open or normally closed valves - with no internal modifications to the actuator assembly needed. It’s compatible with either long-stroke or short-stroke actuators.

Constructed from durable, glass-reinforced Nylon 12, the control housing is manufactured to stand up to the most punishing environments. It meets the NEMA 4 rating against leakage. Specially molded gaskets guard against leakage and breakdown, so the housing can be installed in any position.

Additional application versatility can be achieved by specifying a solenoid in the control housing. This transforms the valve into a solenoid operated air valve with integral flow control. The module will then provide valve position feedback through your choice of mechanical switches or proximity switches.

Options

Housing is designed to accommodate a variety of switch options, including
proximity or mechanical
switches.
Control Top can also be fitted with a 3-way/4-way solenoid with integral flow control.

Enclosure Rating

NEMA Type 4 - Enclosures are intended for use indoors or outdoors to protect the enclosed equipment against splashing water, seepage of water, falling or hose-directed water, and severe external condensation.

The SET-UP NUMBER SELECTION charts define how the control top module is configured. There are up to seven different ways that it can be setup, but depending upon valve type and body style the operation can differ. Knowledge of the complete valve model is required to choose between the two charts. Chart A applies to Shut Off or Divert valves and Chart B applies to Reverse Acting and Kettle & Elbow tank outlet valves.
