HyVision Valve Position Monitoring 

 

 
Hytork®'s HyVision is a rugged, corrosion resistant, positive position indicator (electrical and visual) for all 1/4 turn applications.

Micro switch, Proximity Sensor, Reed switch, and Pneumatic switch models:
  • No external moving parts
  • High visibility visual indicator
  • Flow path monitor for multiport valves
  • Integral fully enclosed Safety Bracket for XL Series actuators
  • Weather Proof to IP66HyZone 2 Zone 2 certified (Ex N IIC T6)
  • HyDiv 2 NEMA 4, 4x (FM approval pending)
  • Eliminates additional Junction Boxes
  • Kwik Set Cams (No Tools Required)
  • Corrosion Resistant

A Multiple Use Junction Box

 
With up to three conduit entries, the HyVision housing and multiple internal terminal wiring strips eliminate the need for separate electrical junction boxes. Solenoid valves, limit switches and other feedback devices can all be wired in the one single HyVision enclosure.  A real cost and time saver.
 

Safety Bracket

 
The fully enclosed HyVision Safety Bracket made from Zytel is designed as an integral part of the switchbox assembly and mounts without couplings or other bracketry to the Hytork® "XL" series of actuators. The fully enclosed bracket prevents fingers getting trapped in the moving shaft, reduces contamination build up around the shaft and improves installed rigidity.


An integral, positive, auto-centered no-slip drive (to VDI standards), connects the actuator to the switch drive. There are no screws to tighten to the shaft and nothing to work loose. Mounting is quick, easy and foolproof !

Position Indication

 
The
HyVision Switchbox contains your selection of up to four switches to electrically or pneumatically provide accurate, positive feedback of the valve or damper position. This "instrument" indication is complemented by a large rugged visual indicator which is easily seen from any angle.
 

Rugged & Corrosion Resistant

 
To meet the challenges of today's process environments, HyVision Switchboxes are manufactured from state-of-the-art composite materials that provide superior strength and maximum resistance to attack from corrosives. The base housing and bracket are Zytel. A sealed, clear Lexan
indicator cover and stainless steel fasteners provide the essential physical and chemical protection for the indicator.
 

User Friendly

 
The HyVision spring loaded, Kwik Set cams permit easy and accurate positioning of the limit switch trigger points. A splined gear prevents slipping caused by vibration or corrosion. To facilitate ease of wiring, the terminal strips and switch module is simply removed from the base. Access to the switchbox internals is quick and easy - a quick turn of the Lexan cover, with its "O" ring sealed bayonet lock to the housing, completely opens the large working area of the switchbox. The HyVision has two "O" Ring seals, one for the shaft and one for the lid (instead of unreliable flat face seals), ensuring that it is suitable for humid environments.
 

Maximum Visibility Of Position Indicator

 
The HyVision visual indication is the largest, most easily seen indicator on the market. Protected by the virtually unbreakable Lexan cover, accurate position indication can be seen from almost any angle. By design, the overall envelope dimension of the HyVision is smaller than most other designs, even though the visual indicator is significantly larger. The HyVision has no external moving parts.

Large, clamp type, terminal strip and switch module
 

 
Many types of switches are compatible and readily available, including V3 micro switches, proximity sensors, reed switches and hermetically sealed switches.  The right choice for your application.

Enclosure Types


HyVision Switchboxes are available in five basic enclosure types.
  • HyVision for 0° - 90° rotation.
  • HyFlow for 0° to 180° degree rotations, as well as flow path monitoring for multiple path valving.
  • HySight visual indication alone.
  • HyValue without visual indication.
     

Approvals

 
  • HyZone 2 to CENELEC ZONE 2
    • The "HyZone 2", which utilises specially rated components, is certified to CENELEC Zone 2 Specifications to BS6941: 1988 (Certificate No. EX94Y4004)
  • HyDiv 2, to NEMA 4, 4X
    • FM division 2 approval pending.

Quality Assurance From The Valve Automation Center


This Hytork® product is Quality Assured Registered management systems to ISO 9001.  This Quality Hytork® product is one of many valve automation products that are stocked, ready for installation as part of an engineered valve automation package at HYTORK®'S VALVE AUTOMATION CENTER.

It is the professional center for valve automation packages. Packages that are designed and assembled from a host of stocked accessories.

These include:

  • Aluminium, SG Iron and specific application actuators
  • Position monitoring switches and sensors
  • High visibility visual indication switch enclosures
  • Cost Savers
  • Manual Override Gearboxes
  • Positioners
  • Hytork® solenoid valves

All these standard Valve Automation products, assembled to a dimensioned CAD drawing, which can accompany the package for your complete documentation requirements.

A
proven source for quality automation (ISO 9001) of all your 1/4 turn valve and damper requirements.

A typical process plant will have many types and manufacturers of 1/4 turn valves, with different Actuators, different Switches,
different Solenoids, different Positioners and Brackets that are neither engineered nor consistent from one order to the next.

HYTORK®'S VALVE AUTOMATION CENTER provides engineered similarity throughout your plant, lower spares, simplified installation, maintenance, documentation and easily trained technicians with overall reduced costs.

This service is also available from
approved
Hytork® Distributors - for details telephone Hytork®.
