Smart Wireless Safety Shower Applications From Emerson™
Accurate Wireless Monitoring for Increased Safety Awareness
How often do you inspect your safety showers and eyewash stations to
assure they are operational? When an employee activates a remote
station how are you alerted? If you are not alerted, how will
you know if the employee is not alone and incapacitated
by injury, unable to call for help?
Solution
The inclusion of two TopWorx GO® Switches
and a Rosemount™ Wireless 702 Discrete
Transmitter at each shower station, along
with a centrally-located Smart Wireless Gateway.
Why use this application?
• Improved First Responder awareness
• Improved Environmental, Health and Safety
incident reporting capabilities
• Because the Rosemount Wireless 702 Discrete
Transmitter is Intrinsically Safe and the TopWorx
GO Switch is a “simple device” this application can
be used in hazardous locations and no permits are
required for installation
• Reduced cost of installation and maintenance with
no need for field wiring, I/Os, safety barriers, or
monitoring for line breakage and short circuits
• Reduces trips to each station for manual inspection
• Provides activation notification, time stamping,
and trending capability
Why use GO Switch?
• No power required to operate
• Non-contact, direct-sensing with no exterior moving parts to wear or break
• Water-proof and will not stick or fail like flow switches do when shower water pipes freeze up or calcify
• Resistant to extreme environments, high & low temperatures, dust, dirt, moisture, washdown, physical abuse, electrical
noise, radio frequency interference, and most caustics & chemicals
Why use Emerson™ Smart Wireless?
Emerson’s Smart Wireless products and solutions extend PlantWeb predictive intelligence into areas that were
previously out of physical or economic reach, opening the door for new possibilities in process improvement. Remote
locations, physical obstructions, and the high cost of engineering and integrating new technologies are no longer the
barriers they were.
Kits for this application are now available. Contact your TopWorx Regional Sales Manager for details.

TopWorx GO® Switch
Reliable, durable position sensors for the most demanding plant conditions
GO Switch leverless limit switches provide reliable, durable position sensing in the most demanding
plant conditions. Unlike mechanical limit switches or inductive proximity sensors, GO Switch uses a
unique hybrid technology that eliminates wear and tear. As a result, GO Switch is more dependable
and in the toughest applications.
The GO Switch Difference
One-of-a-kind GO Switch technology combines the best attributes of limit switches and proximity
sensors to outperform them both. The GO Switch leverless limit switch design offers high and low
current ratings, AC/DC and NO/NC wiring flexibility, no-touch sensing, and global certifications to
provide the ultimate performance in position sensing.
Proven reliability in a variety of industries
For over sixty years, GO Switch has provided mission-critical position sensing in the nuclear, automotive, cement,
chemical, die-casting, food & beverage, hydrocarbon, manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, petrochemical, power
generation, pulp & paper, steel & aluminum, tire & rubber, and water & wastewater industries.
Durability when it matters most
Due to it’s sealed and leverless design, the GO Switch is capable of lasting longer than limit switches and proximity sensors
in plant conditions that are extremely hot, cold, wet, dirty, abusive, corrosive, and explosive.
About TopWorx
TopWorx Valvetop® discrete valve controllers and GO® Switch leverless limit switches help plants, platforms, and pipelines improve
productivity and increase safety in the harshest environments and toughest applications.
