Installation and Maintenance Instructions
Signaling units on ASCO™ Series 290-390
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Asco pressure operated valves normally close (NC) and
normally open (NO) type can be equipped with a compact
signaling unit enabling electrical monitoring of one or both
valve stem positions. This bracket consists of a support for
mounting reed switch and magneto-resistive (MR) detectors.
At both valve disc positions (open and closed), the magnet at
the end of the stem of the unit actuates, without contact, the
reed switch or creates a switching signal (magneto-resistive)
which provides an electrical end-of-travel signal.
Intended use
The signaling unit is intended to be used with Asco 290 and 390
Series pressure operated valve with actuators 32 mm to 125 mm
(except 32 mm and 50 mm NO plastic actuators).
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
The compact signaling unit is supplied installed on valve and
adjusted.
The compact signaling unit can be adapted to a valve origi-
nally not equipped with such features. perform all the stages
of installation, connection and adjustment described in this
document when supplied separately.
For installation and maintenance refer to the general safety
instructions.
Before any maintenance or installation operation, cut off the
electrical supply to the apparatus and check that the valve
is depressurized and drained. For work on the valve itself,
refer to the corresponding installation and maintenance
instructions.
NOTE: The assembled signaling unit meets IP65 when the
seal is correctly fitted (Reed detectors are IP67. Magneto-
resistive detectors are IP67 or IP69K).
! Do not install the signaling unit in an area where
welding is carried out, to avoid any magnetic distur-
bance. In such environments, preferably use electrical
units with mechanical contacts
Installation and adjustment of detectors
If possible, orient the valve actuator in a direction facilitating
connection of the detectors, then perform the operations
described under in case of unsetting during operation.
Install one or two detectors as appropriate.
1. Position the detector or detectors with the cable inlet ori-
ented upwards ( G and J).
2. Slide each detector, observing its fully up or fully down
position ( H
and
K).
3. Connect the connector or connectors then energise them.
Adjustment of the down position of the detector:
- Place the valve in the "closed" position.
. For a normally-closed valve, this is its rest position
. For a normally-open valve, apply the pilot pressure
(max. 10 bar)
- Manually move the detector until the LED comes on ( I).
Tighten the mounting screw at 270° (approx. 3/4 turn) while
maintaining the detector in place ( I).
- Check adjustment by number of operating tests.
Adjustment of up position of the detector:
- Place the valve in the "open" position.
. For a normally-closed valve, apply the pilot pressure
(max. 10 bar)
. For a normally-open valve, this is its rest position
- Manually move the detector until the LED comes on
( L). Tighten the mounting screw at 270° (approx.
3/4 turn) while maintaining the detector in place ( L).
- Check adjustment by number of operating tests.

Mounting of detector support on valve with dia. 32 mm
(stainless steel), 50, 63, 90 and 125 mm actuators:
Removal of the indicator cap
- 50 mm dia. plastic actuator: Unscrew and remove the cover
cap ( B1).
- 32 mm and 50 mm stainless steel actuators, and all versions
63 mm, 90 mm and 125 mm dia. actuators: Unscrew and
remove the sight dome with its seal ( B2) then unscrew
and remove the red indicator ( B).
! Pilot the NC valve control actuator beforehand to al-
low adaptation of the signaling support.

1. The unit is supplied with a single plunger for all valve types
( C). The dia. 90 mm and 125 mm plastic actuator is sup-
plied with a spacer to be screwed to the plunger ( C1).
2. Screw the plunger manually into the valve stem ( D),
then tighten it to torque a ( E).
3. 63 mm, 90 mm and 125 mm actuators: Check that seal
item X on the support is greased (normal condition of sup-
ply). Install the seal in its housing in the control actuator
( F).
Screw on the signaling support and tighten to torque b
( F).
The support cannot be oriented.
Preventive maintenance
Visually inspect the signaling unit once a month.
Check:
- that there are no foreign objects on the support or between
the detectors,
- that the support is correctly secured against rotation.
Malfunctioning
In the event of failure to detect the open or closed position:
- if, during an operating cycle, the plunger does not move
or moves abnormally:
• check pressures (valve and pilot),
• check vibration of the valve and its control system,
- if the plunger moves correctly:
• check the electrical supply to the detectors,
• check the adjustment of the detector positions on the
support.
Removal and re-installation of the signaling unit
Removal is carried out in reverse order of installation, taking
the following precautions:
- disconnect the detectors from the electrical supply and
remove them,
To re-install, scrupulously follow the "Installation, connection
and adjustment" procedure described in this document.
