Sensors & Feedback Devices Sensors & Feedback Devices
Quarter turn valves often use two independent sensors to provide valve position feedback. Pepperl+Fuchs’ double sensor, the F31K2, combines two inductive sensors in one modular package that also includes a high visibility beacon for local on/off position indication. This approach reduces installation and maintenance costs. Durable, noncontact, and wear-free detection makes it ideal for harsh conditions. Mounted directly on a valve actuator, the sensors transmit the valve position to a control system, ensuring absolutely reliable processes.
F31K2 dual sensors are designed for outdoor use with no compromises. The open solution allows status monitoring from a distance with its highly visible integrated valve position indicator and translucent housing. The modular housing design enables easy operation, installation, and diagnostics. The sensor’s unique dual housing provides double the mechanical protection and a high IP rating; the housing materials ensure high resistance to UV, temperature, and corrosion. NAMUR Ex i (Zone 0/20) and Ex nA (Zone 2/22) versions are available.
