Valmet Neles ND Series Smart Valve Positioner Product Introduction
Product Overview
The Valmet Neles ND Series, including models ND9103HX8T, ND9106HX8T, ND9203HE8T, ND9206HE8T and ND7106HX8, are advanced smart electro-pneumatic valve positioners. They deliver precise and reliable control for industrial valves.
These positioners use digital technology to ensure accurate valve positioning. They provide real-time feedback for optimal performance in critical process control applications. The devices are loop-powered, integrating seamlessly with 4-20mA control signals and HART communication protocols. This enables remote monitoring and configuration.
Features
- Smart Digital Control: Utilizes microprocessor-based technology for precise valve positioning and quick response times.
- Dual Acting & Single Acting Compatibility: Supports both actuator types to suit different valve configurations.
- HART Communication: Enables remote diagnostics, configuration, and monitoring for improved maintenance efficiency.
- Robust Construction: IP66/IP67-rated enclosure for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
- Automatic Calibration: Streamlines setup with one-button calibration to reduce installation time.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Provides real-time data on valve performance, helping predict maintenance needs.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates stably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between ND9100 and ND9200 series models?
A: The ND9100 series is designed for quarter-turn valves (ball, butterfly, plug valves), while the ND9200 series is optimized for linear valves (globe, control valves).
Q: Can these positioners be used in hazardous areas?
A: Yes, select models are ATEX, IECEx, and CSA certified for use in Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 hazardous locations.
Q: How often do I need to calibrate the positioner?
A: With automatic calibration functionality, routine calibration is typically only needed every 2–3 years or after maintenance.
Q: Is HART communication required for operation?
A: No, the positioners operate with a basic 4-20mA signal, but HART unlocks remote configuration and diagnostic capabilities.
