Product Overview

The VALMET QX2VCR02HRA is an explosionproof valve limit switch that detects mechanical valve movement and converts it into electrical signals. These signals are transmitted to control systems such as PLCs, DCS platforms, and safety interlock systems, ensuring accurate monitoring of valve open and closed positions.

Its robust design supports both control and safety-related functions in critical industrial processes.

Explosionproof Construction and Safety Compliance

Designed for use in hazardous locations, the QX2VCR02HRA features a reinforced explosionproof enclosure that helps contain internal ignition sources and prevents flame propagation. This makes it suitable for environments with flammable gases or vapors.

The housing material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, impact, and environmental stress, ensuring safe and reliable operation under harsh industrial conditions.

Accurate Switching Performance

The internal switching mechanism of the QX2VCR02HRA is engineered for high repeatability and consistent signal output. Each valve movement is detected with precision, allowing the control system to receive clear and stable position feedback.

Key performance characteristics include:

• Reliable open and closed position detection

• Stable electrical contacts during frequent cycling

• Reduced signal deviation over long-term operation

These features support stable automation control and minimize the risk of incorrect valve status indication.

Visual Valve Position Indication

The QX2VCR02HRA is equipped with a clear visual position indicator, allowing operators to quickly confirm valve status during routine inspections or maintenance. This feature improves operational efficiency and reduces reliance on control room confirmation alone.

Visual indication is especially valuable in large industrial facilities where quick on-site verification is required.

Mechanical Strength and Environmental Resistance

Industrial environments often involve vibration, temperature variation, moisture, and dust. The VALMET QX2VCR02HRA is built to withstand these challenges with a durable mechanical structure that protects internal components.

The precision-engineered internal assembly ensures smooth operation and long service life, even in continuous-duty applications.

Installation and System Integration

The QX2VCR02HRA is designed for straightforward installation on standard actuator mounting interfaces. Its mechanical layout allows easy alignment with valve actuators, reducing installation time and potential configuration errors.

Standard wiring entry options enable simple electrical connection to existing automation systems, making it suitable for both new installations and system upgrades.
