The Moniteur NEO-X proximity sensor is nothing less than a breakthrough in sensor design. Using the latest developments in magnetic sensing technology, Moniteur has developed a unique solid state sensor that offers unparalleled accuracy, repeatability and cycle life. The circuitry is enclosed and encapsulated in a flexible moisture-proof bedding compound, protecting them from contaminants and shock to 38g. An LED setting light is included on the sensor housing to help users set the cams of the VPT in the field without a meter.
All Moniteur VPT enclosures use an internal stainless steel Loc-Ring to attach the shaft to the enclosure. This method is 10 times stronger than using traditional c-cliips, preventing vertical shaft motion from corrupting output signals

Applications and Features
Critical position monitoring applications requiring reliability and a high cycle life. The absence of moving parts allows a virtually unlimited cycle life.
Accuracy and Repeatability – NEO-X sensors have virtually no hysteresis
Today’s advanced process control systems requiring high quality sensor output
Areas with corrosive or humid environments that could corrode exposed contacts of standard switches
Nonincendive (Class I or II, Division 2) environments. Article 501-3 (b) of the NEC (National Electric Code) permits the use of general purpose enclosures (such as the Watchman or Survivor Series) in Division 2 locations when the current interrupting contacts or electronics are sealed within a hermetically sealed chamber.
Explosion-proof – The Companion NEO-X sensor is the first position sensor specifically designed for linear valve position monitoring in hazardous areas rated Class I or II, Division 1
