VIDI Positioner with external antenna is a battery-operated device that detects the open/close position of a gate valve and transmits data wirelessly.
VIDI Positioner is a smart device for indicating the position of gate valves. It detects the open/close position of a gate valve and transmits the data wirelessly. The VIDI Positioner is designed for direct mounting on BS5163 gate valves. After installation and activation, the device transmits information about the position of the valve to the VIDI Cloud platform or to a third-party software (e.g., SCADA or GIS).
The VIDI Positioner includes an external antenna with 5 metre cable to allow installation to suit the local environment. For example, where valves buried deep underground to maximise the communication with the antenna mounted immediately below chamber lid, or in remote slave chambers / above ground cabinets.
VIDI Positioner provides water utilities with valuable insights into the use of valves by remotely monitoring the position of the valve by indicating whether it is open, close, or any percentage in between. Based on the provided information, water utilities can optimise the operation of the water distribution network, extend the lifetime of assets, efficiently lower water loss.
