There are four independent limit switches on each valve. The two of less than 1/8" at the bottom of the disc. These controlling the red lights are adjusted to provide an indication of disc opening to switches controlling the green lights are adjusted switches are also used to activate the valve position alarm circuits. The two provide indication of the disc very near the full open position.
