Introduction

The Bray Series 5A and 5B Intrinsically Safe Valve Status Monitors (VSMs) provide visual and electrical indication of position of any VDI/VDE 3845 compliant quarter-turn device. The S5A and S5B I.S. VSMs are designed to operate in multiple hazardous locations.

Principle of Operation

Bray Series 5A and 5B I.S. VSMs are comprised of a NEMA Type 4/4X, IP66/67 housing (resin housings are IP66/67/68 (1 meter, 1 hour) with external position indicator and two conduit entries, cam shaft with self-locking cams, elevated terminal block, internal grounding screw, and mounting bracket.
The VSM is coupled to the quarter turn device via the cam shaft. Rotation of the cam shaft, in turn, drives switch activation. The angular position in which the switches activate can be adjusted through the self-locking cams. Proximity activation of switches provides electrical feedback of achieved position through field wiring to a control network.

Bray Series 5A VSMs contain a 4-pole terminal block, while the Series 5B VSMs contain a 12-pole terminal block. All switches are pre-wired into the terminal block. Several features have been designed to help ease field wiring:

• Terminal blocks are angled towards the cover opening.
• Wiring diagram is attached to the inside of cover.
• Two side conduit entries are available for all models. Additional rear conduit entry available on S5B resin trim.

Turn off all power and lock out service panel before installing or modifying any electrical wiring.
Observe all applicable safety regulations for  electrical equipment installed in potentially explosive (hazardous) locations.

NOTICE

• Do not re-machine the conduit entry threads or create any new holes in the enclosure.
• Do not remove the screw-in conduit plugs (aluminum housing) or peel-off decal (resin housing) until it is time to wire into the unit’s terminal blocks.
• Do not tamper with or modify any exposed O-rings or gaskets.
• A minimum of 18 AWG wire is recommended for all field wiring.
• The terminals inside the VSM accept wire sizes ranging from 14 to 20 AWG.
• The conduit connections must be properly sealed to maintain the weatherproof integrity of the VSM enclosure.

Bray Series 5A and 5B I.S. VSMs should be wired as follows:

1. Remove the cover of the VSM.
2. Remove the conduit plugs (aluminum housing) or peel-off decal (resin housing).

5. Tighten wires in terminal block to 3.5 lb-in [0.4 Nm].
6. Re-attach VSM cover once position adjustment has been completed.
   a. Tighten cover bolts in a cross pattern to 80 lb-in [9 Nm] for aluminum housing or 17.7 lb-in [2 Nm] for resin housing. Reference Cover Installation.

To ensure intrinsic safe operation, use cable ties to mount field wiring to the printed circuit board.

NOTICE
Do not use power tools to tighten the cover screws.

NOTICE
If the valve status monitor is mounted on a vertical pipe, it is recommended that the unit be positioned with the conduit entries on the bottom to prevent condensation from entering through the conduits.
In all cases, the conduit should be positioned to prevent drainage into the valve status monitor. In some cases  the use of an “S” pipe can be used to prevent water ingress.

Refer to the figures on the right.

Side Conduit Entries

VSM| Imperial| Metric
S5A| 2 x 1/2″ NPT| 2 x M20
S5B| 2 x 3/4″ NPT| 2 x M25
Rear Conduit Entry (Resin Only)
S5B| 1 x 1/2″ NPT| 1 x M20

Reversal of Visual Indication

Visual indication can be reversed per application requirements without the need to re-mount the VSM. This may also be appropriate if the standard orientation of the VSM is not convenient for the application such as field wiring entry direction do not align with conduit entries.

Observe all applicable safety regulations for electrical equipment installed in potentially explosive (hazardous) locations when making modifications to the assembly.

NOTICE
Ensure that open and close cams are properly set after any modification to visual indication.

Bray Series 5A and 5B I.S. VSM visual indication can be reversed as follows:

1. Remove all four Indicator dome bolts with lock washers.
   

2. Rotate the indicator dome 90° in either direction.

3. Remount the indicator dome bolts with lock washers.

a. Tighten bolts in a cross pattern to 13-18 lb-in [1.5-2 Nm] for aluminum housing or 5.3-7.5 lb-in [0.6-0.85Nm] for resin housing.
b. Ensure that o-ring is secure in indicator dome and is not pinched when dome is re-installed.

NOTE: The indicator dome of the 5A Resin VSM is part of the cover. Remove the cover for indication reversal.

Position Adjustment

A single or doubled lobed cam is provided for every independent/main switch. Double lobed cams are provided when the switch configuration could include an auxiliary switch. Double lobed cams will activate both main and auxiliary switches at the same time.

Cams are mounted to the indicator shaft, alternating between red and yellow and are independently adjustable by hand in 3.6° increments. No special tools are needed for this adjustment. The self-locking design ensures that cams will not slip position.

The bottom red cam is intended to indicate the close position while the bottom yellow cam is intended to indicate the open position. Both of the switches associated with these cams are labeled accordingly.
An additional red and yellow cam may be installed for most switches and can be used for mid-travel position indication or to provide an additional auxiliary open and close indication. Mid-travel switches are unlabeled.

Closed Travel Indication Adjustment

1. Operate the quarter turn device until it reaches the desired closed position.

2. Pull the bottom red close cam upwards towards the yellow cam to disengage the cam from the fixed cam holder.

3. While the cam is disengaged, rotate the cam to the position that will activate the close switch.
   a. NOTE: Do not attempt to adjust cams prior to disengaging the cam from the fixed cam holder.

4. Release the cam and allow the locking spring to re-engage the cam with the fixed cam holder.

Open Travel Indication Adjustment

1. Operate the quarter turn device until it reaches the desired open position.

2. Push the bottom yellow open cam towards the bottom red cam to disengage the cam from the fixed cam holder.

3. While the cam is disengaged, rotate the cam to the position that will activate the open switch.
   a. NOTE: Do not attempt to adjust cams prior to disengaging the cam from the fixed cam holder.

4. Release the cam and allow the locking spring to re-engage the cam with the fixed cam holder.

Mid-Travel Indication Adjustment

1. Operate the quarter turn device until it reaches the desired mid-travel position.

2. Disengage the cam from the cam holder.
   a. NOTE: Mid-travel cams are disengaged similarly to the open and close cams.
