Cycle-Indicator 
Proximity Switches
DESCRIPTION
Graco’s Trabon Cycle Proximity Switches are used for providing a 
signal to a Monitor, Controller or Programmable Logic Controller 
(PLC) to indicate the number of cycles and cycle rate of a 
Series-Progressive (SP) divider valve; this signal is transmitted 
via a feedback loop to the Controller, providing the status of the 
lubrication cycle it is programmed to monitor and record.
Graco offers three types of proximity switches for use on SeriesProgressive divider valves: Reed-Type (Reed) Proximity Switch, 
Field Sensing Magnetic (FSM) Proximity Switch, and Field Sensing 
Mechanical (FS 
operated, single-throw switches that sense the movement of the 
divider valve’s piston when it is cycling.
The Reed-Type proximity switch is available as an unattached 
version (magnetically attached to piston) for oil-only applications 
using MSP, MH or MGO divider valve assemblies. 
The Field Sensitive Magnetic proximity switch is a dry contact, 
ceramic magnet operated switch. It can be used in either grease 
or oil applications and is available in three sizes compatible 
with MSP, MH, MX/MXP, and MGO assemblies and its use is not 
limited by valve section size. This switch is also available in an 
explosion-proof design with a six-foot long cable for use in MS/ 
MH divider valves.
The FS

reliability of operation when used with the very low signal power 
conditions common to DC-powered PLC’s. It is a magnetically 
activated proximity switch that contains a miniature snap-action 
switch, activated by the attraction of its internal magnet to the 
divider valve’s moving piston. The 24 volt DC-only version of this 
switch is available with integral light-emitting diodes (LED) for 
local verification of power and cycling activity. Similar designs 
without LED’s are suitable for either AC or DC power operation;  
there is also an explosion-proof version with six foot long pigtail 
leads. FS

proximity switches are available for MSP, MH, and 
indicator lights for DC applications, and various types of electrical 
connection options: Brad Harrison or Crouse Hinds cables with 
either 3,4, or 5 pin connectors, 6 ft., 3-wires (for explosion-proof 
versions), 1/2 ” NPT conduit (Reed Switch types only), or M12x1 
Micro 4-pin connection.
A complete list of the cycle and proximity switches with their 
available options appears on Page 2.
OPERATION
Proximity Switches are installed in place of an o-ring seal piston 
enclosure plug in one of the working sections of a SeriesProgressive divider valve assembly. They are actuated by 
movements of the lube-dispensing piston inside the section and 
thereby send a signal to the Controller indicating the rate and 
amount of activity of the proportioning divider as lubricant is 
pumped through it. 
Reed type switches utilize a pin attached magnetically to a piston 
to cause the switch contacts to close. Field sensing magnetic 
type of switches sense the proximity of the pistons' mass to cause 
contact closure. When the piston moves in the opposite direction 
away from the switch, the Reed switch is deactivated by the 
withdrawal of the actuating pin and opens its contacts. Similarly, 
the FSM Proximity Switch’s sensing of the piston is lost and it’s 
contacts open. The two contact transitions (open-to-closed and 
closed-to-open) are detected by the Monitor/Controller, which 
has been programmed to interpret such a signal as one complete 
cycle of the divider section, and therefore one complete cycle of 
the entire SP divider valve assembly.
Depending upon the individual lubrication system’s design and 
lubrication requirements, the Controller or PLC programming 
then uses the feedback signals from the Proximity Switch in each 
lubrication zone to start and stop the lubrication cycle periodically 
as required by the system design specifications. If the Controller 
or PLC does not receive the expected signal within a time period 
specified in the lubrication system’s design, and programmed 
into the PLC as the “Monitor Time” , the PLC can initiate various 
responses as specified by the user. These responses can include 
triggering a local audible and/or visual warning or sending an 
electronic notification to a remote computer terminal.
