The Proximity
Mark Series is a line of position indicators
with a selection of various output options. Four model styles
make up the Mark series to cover almost any application.
Standard models in the Mark Series have visual position
indicators and are weatherproof, explosion-proof, and submersible.
A large variety of outputs are available to fit specific
applications. There is a choice of 1 to 6 switch outputs
of 16 varieties including inductive sensors, high temperature
switches, gold contact switches, hermetically sealed switches,
and high current switches. Besides the switch outputs, the
Series offers potentiometer outputs and 4 to 20 mA transmitters.
The units are purchased for either direct drive applications,
such as rotary valves, or lever drive applications, such
as linear valves. Adjustable visual indicator is standard
on direct drive units that displays OPEN/CLOSED status and
degrees.
A patented magnetic drive that completely
seals the switch compartment from the atmosphere for maximum
leak protection is utilized in the Mark 1. The Mark 3 uses
the same magnetic drive of the Mark 1, but it can be used
for multi-turn applications with 1 to 25 revolutions, such
as gate valves. A through shaft drive is incorporated in
the Mark 4 making the unit a lower cost alternative to the
Mark 1 for applications that are not as demanding. Also
featured in the Mark 6 is a patented magnetic design that
completely seals the switch cavity. The Mark 6 offers hermetically
sealed reed switches that are perfect for high cycle rate
applications and low current uses such as computer and PLC
control systems.

JUNCTION
PACKAGE
Complete factory assembled
packages combine visual indication, solenoids, switches and
transmitter in a single convenient UL, CSA, ATEX, or SAA certified
assembly which saves labor and reduces cost. The simple package
is shipped ready for installation, complete with a custom designed
mounting kit for your specific application. Many options are
available such as painted aluminum, epoxy coated aluminum or
stainless steel housings including a standard 3/4" NPT conduit
entrance and choice of 1 or 2 additional 1/2" NPT conduit entrances.
The optional conduit entrances are drilled and tapped in the
base of the position indicator housing and solenoid valves are
screwed into the entrances. 22 to 16 AWG wire leads from solenoids,
switches and optional transmitter are terminated in prelabeled,
easy-access terminal strips protected inside the housing. Note:
UL, CSA, ATEX or SAA approval requires complete package assembly
by Proximity. Consult the factory for recommended UL, CSA, ATEX
or SAA approved solenoid valve options. |

MOUNTING
KITS
Mounting
kits with drive yoke (see drawing), or slotted lever arm,
bracket, fasteners and other zinc plated or stainless steel
hardware fit over 2000 popular valves and actuators. A high
strength spring tempered Monel drive yoke/coupling is tailored
to fit securely to a specific valve or actuator stem. There
is no slippage or binding. No special alignment fixtures are
required due to switch offset design and yoke to stem engagement
that makes installation a "snap". Each kit is specially designed
for a particular valve or actuator; making field mounting
simple with standard tools. Please specify make and model
of valve or actuator on order.
Mounting kits can be used
interchangeably with all models since external mounting features
are identical. Rotary valves utilize direct drive couplings
and a slotted lever drive is used with linear valves. Lever
drives convert linear motion to rotary. Stainless steel visual
indicators are standard for direct drive, automated quarter-turn
valve applications. |
