20140062579 | APPARATUS FOR FLUID CONTROL DEVICE MONITORING - Apparatus for fluid control device monitoring are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a body through which a shaft extends. The shaft is to be coupled to an actuator. An angular position of the shaft is based on a position of the actuator. The apparatus includes a target coupled to the shaft and a circuit including a user configurable switch and a proximity switch. The user configurable switch is configurable to a first state or a second state. When the user configurable switch is in the first state and the target is distant from the proximity switch, the circuit is to output a first signal. When the user configurable switch is in the second state and the target is distant from the proximity switch, the circuit is to output a second signal different than the first signal. | 03-06-2014 |
