Product details

This positioner features a stainless steel (CF3M) enclosure that is flame and explosion-proof, making it suitable for use in hazardous areas. On customer demand, a local control panel can be added to the positioner. For example, the panel may include push buttons to open and close the valve and a switch to switch between local and remote control.

This positioner is typically used for proportional systems because it provides six digital outputs and four inputs, making it highly versatile. It is equipped with an advanced calibration process that, when combined with the regulator, ensures fast and reliable positioning of actuators. This results in optimal performance and precision for your system.

The positioner is compatible with all types of actuators, including hydraulic, pneumatic, or electro-hydraulic, as well as spring return, double-acting, and stepping actuators.

Design guide for using the AF model

The AF model is not designed to be wired directly. It must be connected to an Ex e or Ex d enclosure using certified bushings. See the guidance below for proper installation:

Connecting to an Ex e Enclosure

To connect an IDC24-AF Ex d (flameproof) enclosure to an Ex e (increased safety) enclosure:

Use certified components that are suitable for explosive environments.
Ensure all seals and connections preserve the integrity of each enclosure's protection type.

Connecting to an Ex d Enclosure

To connect an IDC24-AF Ex d (flameproof) enclosure to another Ex d enclosure:

Use certified components rated for explosive environments.
Install flameproof glands on both enclosures and ensure they are properly sealed to contain any internal explosion, preventing its transmission to the external environment.

User interface

Local display control is available for the IHP24 positioner, granting full access to configure the positioner and control the valve system. Furthermore, the IHP24 is equipped with various indicator LEDs that show the status of the system.
