SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

6.1. Intended applica on area
The control head F783E 2.0 has been designed for use as actua)on of pneuma)cally operated process valves and / or for
recording the switching states of these.
6.2. General descrip on
The control head F783E 2.0 is used for actua)ng pneuma)cally operated hygienic product valves.
For process valve actua)on, the control head can be equipped with a single 2/5 solenoid valve.
For the recording and feedback of the process valve switching posi)ons to a higher-level control, the control head has been
equipped with up to two posi)on feedback switches. These are PNP style induc)ve proximity switches.
The F783E control head mounts directly on standard Pentair actuators of figure number F257 and F272S. This produces an
integrated, compact and decentralized system of actua)on, valve func)on and feedback. The following advantages over
centralised solu)ons working with valve clusters are achieved:
•
low installa)on expenditure
•
easy start-up
•
shorter switching )mes and less air consump)on due to shorter distances between the pilot valve and the
process valve.
There is also a wide range of moun)ng op)ons available for many other brand actuators in the hygienic food and beverage
industry, as well as common industrial actuators. Please consult a customer services representa)ve for more details on
moun)ng op)ons available.
Various pneuma)c and electrical connec)on variants are available. Consult the selec)on guide on page 9 for more informa)on
on op)ons.
