V200 Explosion-Proof Positioner

The V200EX is referred to as an “Explosion Proof” unit, due to the addition of the special rated and approved Ip module for hazardous locations.

For rated areas of a plant where FM-CSA-ATEX, Class1 Div. II or EEx (and other) approvals are required, this EX positioner product will meet those application specifications.

This EX, 4-20 mA module can be specified at the time of order or converted in the field. They operate just like any other electropneumatic positioner, but the housing is designed to meet these stringent classifications.

This EX module mounts directly to the V200P base positioner with a short adapter plate that supplies air pressure in the back side of the plate, which internally converts this pressure via a 4/20 mA signal, to a 3-15 psi signal back into the positioner signal diaphragm chamber.

Not to be confused with Nema classifications (7 or 9) these FM-CSA, -ATEX, etc. area classifications/approvals are accompanied with the appropriate certificate documentation.

For position feedback VAC offers a special third-party mounting adapter that allows for EX feedback mounting directly to the unit, eliminating clumsy linkage arms and complicated mounting.
Features
  • All In One Housing
    • This compact NEMA 4X valve positioner allows for an internal I/P, switches, 4/20 mA transmitter, all in one compact, rugged die-cast aluminum housing. The flexibility to add, remove, replace, and calibrate this unit is very user-friendly.
  • Calibration
    • The ability to calibrate a positioner is important. Time can be money, and with the V200 positioner, calibration is made simple, easy, and NOT time-consuming. Both Zero and Span can be adjusted without removing the cover, and the single spring has very little interaction.
  • Complete Offering
    • Being able to get all of the needed options from a single product can be a real benefit. For basic pneumatic to various Ip options (standard, IS, EX, FF, Gas approved, 0-10V) and adding valve position feedback into the one compact housing is a benefit. The flexibility of going from one type to the other in minutes saves time and money. Quality construction of each product equals accurate control and long service life.
  • Position Feedback
    • As the need for valve position feedback grows, the V200 positioner allows for very accurate feedback options. From switches to 4/20 transmitter, these components fit very neatly and simply into the one NEMA 4X housing.
  • Accessories/Options
    • The flexible mounting allows for mounting to many actuators, built in gauge block, various pilot assemblies, special cams, beacon indicator, and more are available from one source-one product.
