Description

The 4310 wireless position monitor is a non‐contacting wireless position switch. It is a rugged measurement device
that provides a wireless on/off feedback signal to indicate equipment position. The 4310 can be used to monitor the
on/off status of equipment such as valves, sliding‐stem regulators, displacement and float level sensors, and relief
valves. It is designed to be simple to use, compact, and easily mounted.
The wireless position monitor periodically reads the on/off position of a measured device and transmits that data over
the wireless network. The transmitted data includes two limit switch status indications, internal device temperature,
and power module voltage. It also checks for configuration and service instructions from host systems such as
distributed control systems (DCS), asset management systems (AMS), and supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA) systems.

Terminology

Local Interface—All 4310 wireless position monitors come standard with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and two (2)
pushbuttons. The local interface provides the capability to setup and calibrate the monitor.
Magnet Assembly—This is the feedback component that is mounted directly to the valve stem. It supplies a magnetic
field that is sensed by the wireless position monitor. This component is typically part of most mounting kit assemblies.

Specifications

Specifications for the 4310 wireless position monitor are shown in table 1.
