By ensuring valves and actuators are only operated by authorized individuals, the Anti-Tamper Lock (ATL) from Smith Flow Control secures companies’ assets by reducing the risk of human error or deliberate tampering. The way the ATL works is very simple. The standard condition of the device in service is locked (key-free), with the handwheel free-rotating (the standard unit is available in two sizes to suit all lever and handwheel operated valves). Operation involves three simple steps: first, a coded key is inserted, engaging the drive; second, the valve is operated to the desired position; finally, the key is removed and the valve is locked in the desired position. For safety applications, the ATL’s housing is supplied in stainless steel coated with yellow polyester resin, while for security applications, locks are manufactured from hardened steel, with a protective security skirt. — Smith Flow Control, 21 Kenton Lands Road, Erlanger, Ky., 41018, phone: (859) 578-2395, fax: (859)-341-2302, e-mail: sales@smithflow.com, Web site: Web: www.smithflowcontrol.com
