MONITEUR was founded in 1992 with the mission to provide industries with advanced solutions for their valve status indication and control. Moniteur's innovative second generation valve position indication designs offer vastly improved local indicators over the original design. Inherent platform design benefits enhance field reliability and performance. The Indicator: Moniteur's local indicator is free from any decals or paint that fade or deteriorate in plant washdowns and in sunlight exposure. It is additionally sealed from the environment with a compressed o-ring reducing ingress of water and preventing fogging. The Moniteur indicator offers 100% color change indication with 360° visibility and operation reliability to over 1,000,000 cycles. The Ektar® indicator cover has superior resistance to impact, UV and chemical attack. It has no flanges which would be subject to cracking during installation or hard use, and houses an indicator that is infinitely adjustable for accurate synchronization with the actuator. The Enclosure: Moniteur builds their product from a solid platform that includes a cover compression seal to preclude water ingress during plant washdowns or inclement weather, coupled with a aeronautically designed internal stainless steel shaft lockring, which is protected from the environment with an internal o-ring. All enclosure threads are blind-tapped to preclude thread exposure to the environment. Secondarily, they are protected via a beveled screw head bottom making up to the enclosure cover. Designs are available for any hazardous locations and offer a choice in materials of aluminum, hard-anodized aluminum, cast stainless steel, or Zytel® high-impact thermoplastic with molded inserts. Internal Design: Switches and terminal strip are all labeled for easier and more accurate wiring. The terminal strip is angled at 15° to allow easier access and connection of installation wiring. Mechanical switches are enclosed in a protective housing jacket that safeguards maintenance crews against electric shock during switch installation and adjustment. Switches and Sensors: As a general overview switches and sensors are available to interface with any plant control system. Offerings range from the robust, basic mechanical switch with higher operating forces and resistance to freeze up to Tungsten TTL for high current applications to Rhodium and Bifurcated TTL for low voltage/low current DC applications. NAMUR, PNP or NPN inductive sensors are offered to interface with control systems found in today's modern process plants as well as advanced ASi and DeviceNet interface modules offered for networking process valves' systems.
