Companion VPT for Hazardous Areas – Explosion-Proof NEMA 4, 4X, 7 & 9
Companion VPT
Explosion-Proof
Nema 4, 4X, 7 & 9
All Groups
The Companion VPT series proximity limit switches are designed for monitoring linear control valves. Available with a choice of two low hysteresis switching elements, the Companion meets all of the process industry’s most demanding electrical requirements, either high power or low voltage.
The Companion is constructed from 316 SS and engineered to withstand corrosive and physically demanding environments. The switching elements are hermetically sealed and encapsulated in a thermoplastic shock guard.
Contact reliability is assured to a minimum of 800,000 cycles at full load (see table below). The magnetic trigger provides a 3/16″ detection range.
Full bracket kits are also available for the popular Fisher 657 / 667 actuators here.

Features & Benefits of Moniteur’s Companion VPT
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
A wide variety of industry standard sensors is available to interface with control systems found in today’s modern process plants. Specifications
