Gauges
Various cams

Pilot Valves:
Type W1 for better stability and lower bleed. Pressure gain @ 87 PSI = 300
Bleeds 33% less but has 10 % less air capacity than standard valve W3.

Type W2 for faster response and better accuracy. Pressure gain @87 PSI > 1000
Has same air capacity but bleeds 33% more than standard valve W3.

Above specifications are based on Type W3 as the standard pilot valve.

BLX Feedback Module

The BLX R100 (positioner mounting) and the R300 (stand alone) feedback modules allow for accurate position feedback, where on-off indication (mechanical switches) or 4-20mA transmitter or potentiometer is required. Feedback unites can be factory or field mounted to the V100 positioner with no additional parts or mounting brackets required, thus creating a very compact package. Combination of switches and transmitters or potentiometer are available. The positioner/switch package is completely sealed, and can be fitted with a flat or raised indicator. Spring-loaded switches and transmitter make calibration simple and quick.
