IMI NEON Valve Sensor QT – wireless monitoring of quarter-turn valves

IMI NEON Valve Sensor QT is an industrial wireless sensor designed for remote position monitoring of ball valves and quarter-turn valves. The device automatically determines whether the valve is in the open or closed position, eliminating the need for many manual inspections directly at the installation.

The sensor uses magnetic field detection. The rotation of a magnet connected to the valve handle is monitored, allowing the position to be determined with an accuracy of up to 2°.

LoRaWAN 868 MHz communication enables valve status information to be transmitted to the central monitoring system without the need for additional communication cabling.

Position detection without interfering with the process installation

NEON Valve Sensor QT uses magnetic field measurement. The magnet working with the sensor moves together with the valve handle. A change in its position makes it possible to determine the current valve status and transmit this information to the central system.

This solution makes it possible to modernize existing infrastructure without the need to replace valves with special versions factory-equipped with electrical position indicators.

Automatic monitoring of industrial valves

• monitoring of ball valves,
• monitoring of quarter-turn valves,
• open / closed status monitoring,
• process installations and industrial pipelines,
• reducing manual and visual valve inspections,
• infrastructure monitoring in Ex areas,
• Industrial IoT and Condition Based Monitoring systems.

Fewer manual inspections

Automatic monitoring of valve positions enables faster detection of incorrect valve settings. According to the manufacturer, the solution can help reduce leaks and loss of process tightness, improve safety and replace some manual and visual inspections of the installation.

Factory-calibrated mounting bracket included

NEON Valve Sensor QT is supplied with a factory-calibrated mounting bracket. The manufacturer states that the universal bracket enables installation in less than two minutes, making it easier to deploy a larger number of measurement points in existing plants.

Key parameters

Wireless valve status data

Integration with LoRaWAN infrastructure makes it possible to include valve position information in the plant's central monitoring system. This allows valve data to become part of a broader Industrial IoT system and a digital representation of the installation.
