APEX 8000 Positioner
The Automax APEX 8000 positioner is designed to provide exceptional control for a variety of valves and dampers. With a two-stage relay, it offers fast and sensitive response characteristics, making it ideal for demanding control applications.
The APEX 8000 can be used with 3-15 psi pneumatic control signals or equipped with an I/P transducer for 4-20 mA signals. This positioner is suitable for quarter-turn control valves, including eccentric plug, butterfly, segmented ball, standard ball, and plug valves, as well as precise damper control.
Its modular design allows for easy field upgrades, including the addition of position feedback limit switches, a 4-20 mA position feedback transmitter, and the UltraDome visual position indicator.
