PremiAir actuators from Tyco Valves and Controls
For use in the most demanding process environments, PremiAir pneumatic actuators have been engineered to provide reliable and economical operation for all types of quarter turn valves
Designed to provide accurate information about the exact positional status of a valve, the analogue SmartCal intelligent positioner also offers historical information such as input signal data and actuator pressure.
The AMS aware unit can collect historical valve data to ensure that optimum performance is achieved over the entire control valve package.
Because position feedback is transmitted via non-contacting means, SmartCal can be mounted either directly at the valve, or located up to 50m from the valve site.
This makes it particularly useful for applications involving high vibration or corrosive conditions.
For flexible, simplified, and safer calibration of valve positioners, the EaziCal IR analogue positioner features two calibration methods.
The AutoCal touchpad located on the unit allows for local manual operation.
For applications where the unit is located in conditions unsuitable for plant personnel, calibration can be undertaken using an infrared signal from a handheld remote control.
The AVID range of actuator control products utilises the ModMount low profile mounting base, the HiVue visual display for local position identification and the EasiFix swift and simple switch adjustment system, allowing for easy device mounting, setting, and use.
The AVID range of control accessories is available from Tyco Valves and Controls, the leading name in the manufacture and supply of valves, actuators and controls.
