Control heads

Also with ATEX explosion protection

The digital control heads “KI-TOP” control up to three positions and can feed back up to four positions. The colour change on LED band on the hood of the control head shows the valve switching position.

The slightly rounded stainless steel hood protects the electronics of the digital control heads KI-TOP (protection class IP 65).

The control head consists of a lower part with bayonet lock and a plastic, or stainless steel hood. The electronics are integrated in this housing in order to control and detect the positions of the valve. The electronics are available in a light and a premium version. An all-round display can be mounted on both versions. The pilot valves, which are also integrated, control the movement of the drive. The electrical connections are produced by means of a cable entry in the lower part. As an option, other connection types are possible, such as M12 plug connectors. The connection to the supply air is achieved with compressed air quick connectors. Optionally, shut-off elements are possible for the air intake.

Our ATEX control heads comply with the ATEX Operating Directive 1999/92/EG. They can be used in potentially explosive dust and gas atmospheres. They are approved for ATEX zones 1/21 as well as 2/22. Especially in production areas with highly flammable and explosive substances, such as whisky distilleries, our control heads, tested in accordance with ATEX directives, ensure additional safety.
