Abstract
A valve positioner that is configured to detect fugitive emissions on a valve. The configuration may include a sensor that resides in proximity to the device. The sensor may connect to a control unit, preferably with operating hardware that can process signals. This arrangement may secure to structure of the valve. In one implementation, the sensor can connect to connections that exist on a circuit board. This feature permits upgrades to devices, including those in assembly or those in the field, with minimal impact to design or performance.
