Retrofit motor for ball valve (LoRaWAN)

This motor upgrades existing and installed ball valves into intelligent water control devices. Thanks to its innovative clamping mechanism, it can be installed and removed within minutes on shut-off valves with a pipe diameter between 0.5 and 1.5 inches, without the need for additional tools. A patented coupling mechanism allows for torques of up to 8 Nm, ensuring operation even with rusty and old valves.

The servo motor is waterproof and can be used in damp, dirty, and outdoor environments. When open, the motor automatically performs a valve training cycle once a week (opening and closing by 1/8 of a turn to remove dirt and limescale). The device is also able to measure the angle of rotation and detect the end positions of the lever. It moves to these end positions slowly to avoid friction and unnecessary mechanical stress. It is powered by an external 12V power supply via a waterproof connector.

A wired leakage sensor can be connected directly to the device. If it detects water, the valve is switched off.

The device is controlled either via a local button or via LoRaWAN. It operates as a LoRaWAN Class C device. Use of the device requires LoRaWAN network coverage. Otherwise, a separate LoRaWAN gateway must be installed and operated. For direct connection to the Aqua-Scope Monitor, please use BVSLWE02.

If the motor is to be used with an EWE shut-off valve, then a special adapter is available for this.
