Unique Sensing & Control
We match any level of automation and we cover all market needs
ThinkTop®
The most advanced sensing & control level in the industry - Still setting the standard
ThinkTop® Basic
Mid-range low-cost sensing & control unit with solenoids - It ensures optimum automated valve control
IndiTop
No solenoids, but basic level of indication with no need for sensor adjustment, over time
Task of Valve Control
- Bring added value to the process.
- Actuation of the valves.
- Reliable position detection and feedbacks.
- Offer an open communication platform.
- More intelligent and remote information access.
“Indi” New indication unit
- Visual indication of valve status (LED)
- 2 feedback signals
- Connects to both AC and DC voltage (8-30V)
- Pushbuttons for manual set-up
- Remote set-up via PLC
- 5m fixed cable to unit
- Fits actuated valves
- No mechanical tear
ThinkTop Basic
- Based on the ThinkTop technology, just with reduced functionalities (BasicTop upgrade; LED + up to 3 solenoid valves, PNP/NPN in same version and ThinkTop Platform)
- 10-30 VDC PNP/NPN
- 2 Feedback, Energized / De-energized
- LED; Set-up/fault, feedbacks and solenoids
- 0-3 Solenoid valves incl. one 5/2 port function
- Set-up by push-buttons only
- Black PA6
ThinkTop
- Can be set without the dismantling or adjusting of existing valves
- Self adjusting
- Fits all sanitary Alfa Laval valves
- Wide range of interface modules
- Integrated indication of seat lift
- External signals – including maintenance indication
- Saves set-up parameters until re-programmed - event in the event of a power failure

- Protection class IP66 & IP67
- Suitable for in or outdoor installation
- Fits all Alfa Laval Sanitary valve actuators
ThinkTop®- Specification
- No manual sensor adjustments.
- No sensor movements due to vibration.
- “Safety”; Indicates closed / open when valve is in position due to individual tolerance programmes.
- Focus on valve maintenance.
- Saves set-up parameters also in case of power failure.
- Can be set-up without dismantling (remote control).
Think Top LED
- Individual tolerance package for each valve - controlled safety
- Easy/Quick to install and same control unit for all actuator with mushrooms – Time and cost savings
- Two external signals can be integrated into the top sensor board – Time and cost savings
- Superior GORE venting technology is allowing the top to breath, with the protection class IP66 & IP67 – No risk for water inside the top
- Reduced number of digital input and outputs without loosing the flexibility in full control of an automated process – More economical
- Easy/Quick to install (5 push) and same control unit for all actuators with mushrooms – Time and cost savings
- Superior GORE venting technology is allowing the top to breath, with the protection class IP66 & IP67 – No risk for water inside the top
Key Points Indi-Top
- Replaceable for Alfa Laval side indication
- One moulded piece = no maintenance – Save time and cost
- One moulded piece with the protection class IP66 & IP67 – No risk for water inside the indication unit
- No need for additional spare parts – Save cost and lower the number of stock item
