The Westlock Accutrak Eliminator 9000 is specifically engineered for the monitoring and control of diaphragm valves. Certified to UL and CSA, the 9000 Series utilises high current, hermetically sealed Magnum proximity sensors that eliminate the costly requirements of installing seal fittings in Division 2 hazardous areas while additionally providing the high level of corrosion resistance required by today's process industries.
Designed for NEMA 4, 4x, 7, 9 applications, the 9000 enclosure is a high integrity aluminium housing with a polyurethane enamel coating for protection against caustic, alcohol or detergent washdowns. As an option, an aluminium housing encapsulated in nylon is available for full compliance with the safety clearances issued by the FDA for use in food processing applications.
The 9000 Series offers an extremely efficient and economical means of monitoring and controlling sanitary diaphragm valves. By combining three separate products into one pre-integrated unit; junction housing, position sensors and solenoid valve, the high cost of termination enclosures, wiring, seal fittings and field labour is totally eliminated.
High integrity enclosure
Aluminium housing with polyurethane enamel coating assures both strength and corrosion resistance. Extra conduit entrances allow for integration of solenoid valves.
Proximity sensors
Hermetically sealed against explosive gases and liquids, Magnum sensors provide maximum resistance against moisture and corrosion. Each sensor is rated at 3 A/120 V a.c., 2 A/24 V d.c.
Thumbscrew trigger adjustments eliminate set screws and provide instantaneous hand setting of position sensors.
An easily accessible 8-point prewired, numbered and colour-coded terminal block is provided for simplification of wiring.
