Honeywell XYR6000 wireless position sensor

Micromax Sensors & Automation has announced the XYR6000 wireless position sensor by Honeywell. The device helps improve overall reliability by giving users the ability to remotely monitor a number of applications ranging from valve position to safety shower emergency use.

Based on the Micro Switch CX hazardous area switch, the sensor monitors positions when used in conjunction with OneWireless systems, sending the signal from remote or potentially hazardous areas.

Featuring full UL, ATEX, and IEC Ex approvals, it has calibration within 270° rotation to apply in most linear and/or rotary position sensing applications. Its analog output provides true position span output in both percentages and degrees.

In addition to eliminating manual monitoring, the sensor’s accuracy improves safety by identifying linear or rotary valve positions, minimising the risk of unwanted fluid release or unplanned product contamination.
