Unexpected, undetected distributing valve malfunctions can cause
significant risk and costly problems for system designers, operators and
owners. System overloading, environmental contamination, permit
violation, and the associated costly repairs can all be caused by valve
problems. Preventing such emergency situations has traditionally
required frequent site visits and inspections, however this increases
Operation & Maintenance costs.
Introducing the first electronic monitor and early-warning alert system
for all major third party 6000 series mechanical distributing valves by

and others.
The IVM6000
TM
-LP Intelligent Valve Monitor
TM
ensures
reliable designs and peace of mind, by confirming
even distribution to all zones, as well as providing early
detection and immediate alert of valve malfunctions.
Simply replace the valve’s original rubber disk and stem assembly with
the sensor enabled one supplied with the IVM6000
TM
. Slide the monitor
down over the valve and supply low voltage line power. Connect the dry
contact alarm output to any standard third party pump control panel
and the IVM6000
TM
-LP is ready to provide immediate notification of any
valve malfunctions.
The distributing valve + Intelligent Valve Monitor
TM
combination offers
superior reliability and control system simplicity compared to using
solenoid or motor-actuated valves for zoning effluent distribution
systems. It is also much less costly than using larger pumps, or many
additional pumps which increases control panel complexity.
“The monitors provide peace of mind that the valves are
distributing effluent uniformly, and have significantly
reduced the amount of time I spend making random spot
checks. Your IVMs are one of the most useful, time saving
devices I have seen in a very long time, maybe ever!”
