Features & Benefits of Moniteur's Sentinel VPT
Moniteur’s patented Loc-Ring Cam and Shaft Retention System ensures sensing accuracy and a multi-million cycle life of the physical platform.
Available with Moniteur's wide variety of reliable switches and sensors for today's advanced control systems. Our switch selection guide is listed below.
Internal Switches and terminal block are labeled for easier installation.
Clear Ektar cover offers excellent chemical resistance and strength and is environmentally sealed to prevent fogging or entry of contaminants.
Moniteur's patented indicator has a rated minimum life of 1,000,000 cycles. With indicators still in service after 9 million cycles, you're assured of long-term reliability.
Indicator is 100% adjustable to any valve or actuator.
The industry's only "true" visual valve position indicator available for multi-port valves, adjustable to match the physical flow pattern of the valve. See the many configurations below.
"Flat cover" version available without indicator is a cost effective option where visual indication is not required or there are space contraints.
Optional thermoplastic quick-mount bracket for NAMUR actuators stands up to corrosive environments by sealing the area between the actuator top and limit switch housing.

Moniteur Switch and Sensor Selection Guide
Mechanical SPDT and DPDT Switches
The most popular switch for general purpose applications is rated 15A at 120 VAC and 2.5V at 24 VDC. Our standard mechanical switches are specified with higher operating forces and offer better resistance to freeze up. Gold Plated SPDT switches rated at 1A at 24 VDC are a low-cost alternative for intrinsically safe applications. DPDT Mechanical Switches rated at 10A / 125 VAC and 7A / 24VDC are also available. Specifications
Non-Contact TTL SPDT (proximity-type) Switches
These hermetically sealed switches set the standard for reliability. Tungsten TTL switches are used for high current AC and DC applications with a rating of 3A at 120 VAC and 2A at 24 VDC. Choose Rhodium TTL for low voltage / low current DC and Intrinsically Safe applications. Optional LEDs are also available on the Krystal TTL with Rhodium contacts. NOTE: Switches with Tungsten contacts are not recommended for DC signals lower than 50 mA. Specifications
GO Leverless Limit Switches
GO Proximity Switches (Series 35) are available with our unsurpassed and proven platform.
NAMUR, PNP or NPN Inductive Sensors

A wide variety of industry standard sensors is available to interface with control systems found in today's modern process plants. Specifications

Optional 4-20ma Transmitters and 0-1K ohm Potentiometers
Current or Resistive Output are available for 0-100% / 4-20mA feedback. Our electronics have been designed for severe applications and have been proven to outperform our competition in the toughest of environments. Specifications
Optional Pneumatic Switches Digital Cycle Counter
Pneumatic Switches are available for switching applications in areas where no electricity is available or desired. Pneumatic Switch Specs Our tamperproof Cycle Counter is a must for critical applications where valve performance must be tracked. Counter Specs
