Your EIV installation manual has a write up regarding gate position sensors.
The optional kit, part number E30-036, includes two (2) sensors, an amplifier, two (2) threaded adapter bushings
and two (2) locknuts.
May I know what's the model number of the sensors and the amplifier?

The model numbers of the sensors and the amplifier included in the Fike E30-036 kit for the EIV are not provided in the context.
The principal function of the EIV is to rapidly close the pipe or duct to prevent further travel of the deflagration flame front. Valve closure is initiated when the system controller sends an activation signal to an electrically actuated cartridge device.
For ease of maintenance a two foot removable process line section may optionally be installed on either side of the valve. Additionally, an area of approximately two feet around the EIV should be left clear to allow access to EIV components for maintenance and rebuild procedures.
Refer to Table 4 and Figures 9 and 10 for EIV physical specifications. Mounting may be accomplished by attaching to the support points on the valve body. The EIV shall not be used to support the piping. The valve must be supported independently from the process piping by directly supporting with structures connected to the valve, and additional structures connected to the process piping within 3 feet of each side of the valve.

The Gas Cartridge Actuator (Fike p/n: 02-4134) is an electrically activated, pressure-producing device used to close the EIV. An electrical charge is sent through the device upon activation from the control panel: this overheats the internal bridge wire and ignites the smokeless powder inside the GCA.
Release Module) or series circuit terminal strip. Do not connect GCA lead wires to firing circuit until GCA is installed into a properly secured EIV. During connection of the GCA to the terminal strip, the GCA shall remain shunted until all GCA’s are connected to the appropriate terminals.
GATE POSITION SENSORS Fike valves in sizes 3" through 24" are designed with fittings to accept optional gate position sensors. This feature enables the position of the gate to be monitored. Three (3) positions can be detected: full open, full closed and partial open/closed.
EXPLOSION ISOLATION VALVE INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL LOCKOUT PIN The valves have been designed with lockout pins to enable the EIV to be locked in either the open or closed position. WARNING: The lockout pin is not intended to prevent the EIV from being closed by the GCA. The lockout pin will only prevent the EIV gate from moving during maintenance.
