The motor drive for angle seat valves (KFR valves) allows retrofitting of existing and already installed shut-off valves into radio-controlled intelligent devices without interrupting the water supply or cutting into the water pipe. The motor is powered by a 12V power supply and is completely water- and dirt-protected up to the power supply. Various adapter rings and a sophisticated connection system enable the motor's use on all modern angle seat valves from DN15 to DN32. Thanks to an additional water sensor that plugs directly into the device, the motor can be used for leakage protection without further configuration.
The servo motor is water-protected and can be used in damp, dirty, and outdoor environments. In the open state, the motor automatically performs valve maintenance once a week (closing/opening by 1/8 turn to remove dirt and lime). A wired leakage sensor can be connected directly to the device. If water is detected, the valve shuts off.
The device can be controlled in three different ways:
Handwheel (H) | Inner Coupling (K) | Adapter (Ax) | Distance Rings (D1,D2) |
Ball Bearing Seat (Ws) | Motor (M) | Main Body (G) | Bracket (N) |
The motorized actuator can be used with all commercially available angle seat valves. However, due to the variety of mechanics, certain adaptations must be made. For installation, leave the valve open or rotate it to the open position. Plumbers recommend that the valve is fully opened first and then lightly closed by turning it clockwise approximately 2 turns.
Each time the motor is disconnected from power, it will determine its current position. It briefly moves in the 'Close' direction. If this is not possible, the motor defines the current position as the 'Open' position. The next 'Close' command will fully close the valve. On the following 'Open' command, the motor will move to the previously defined 'Open' position. This allows you to set the 'Open' position of the valve yourself by only opening the valve as far as necessary and then reconnecting the power, making this self-chosen position the 'Open' position.
If the motor detects a closed valve when power is connected, it will open to the valve's full-open position on the next opening command and then close it back by two turns, as currently recommended by plumbing professionals. The factory setting allows a maximum of 10 turns between 'Open' and 'Close.' This value can be adjusted if necessary via configuration parameter 9.
The product is supplied with a portion of epoxy. This is a two-part mixture. Mix the two components by kneading until the mass has a similar color. Select an adapter ring that just fits over the base structure of the valve bonnet and fill the gaps with the prepared epoxy. Allow the epoxy to cure. Note that the epoxy will adhere to the metal body. If you do not want the epoxy to stick, coat the metal body with some oil to allow easy removal of the epoxy filled adapter.
In the same way, you can put epoxy in one of the bearing seats if your stem is smaller than the is smaller than the 6x6mm of the smallest seat. Make sure the stem is positioned right in the centre of the ball bearing seat.
This company's valves have a very special design. You must insert the split ring (E1+E2) into the 24 mm distance ring (D1) instead of using one of the adapters A1 ... A4. No further distance ring is needed but a small ring DE must be placed below the ball bearing seat to hold down the large fat chamber.
The unit allows an optional wired flood sensor to be attached. There is a connector on the power cord next to the motor. Remove the blue protective pad and plug in the sensor. Please use some force to push the connector to ensure a waterproof connection. If the sensor head detects water, a flood alarm will sound, the valve will close, and the alarm will be indicated by a buzzer and LEDs. Once the sensor head is free of water, you can clear the alarm by pressing the button for 2 seconds. It is also possible to clear the alarm with a wireless LORA command. In both cases, an Alarm Clear report is sent uplink to the LORA network.
You can open or close the valve by briefly pressing the button. If you press the button while the motor is running, the motor stops moving and will reverse direction with next push.
The unit must be calibrated to recognize the end positions of the valve. Once these end positions are known, the motor will stop softly at that position and not "slam into the wall" to protect the mechanics and ensure long life and reliable operation. After power up, the unit will make some short movements to determine if the last position was open or close. The first open or close operation is used to perform calibration for both end points. No special user interaction is required for calibration.
The unit has a two-color LED with the following meaning
Please note that the information of this section is only relevant if the motor is directly controlled from a LoRaWAN network. In case the motor is paired to a Aqua-Scope Sensor these information are irrelevant.
Please register the device with its three keys with your LoRaWAN server before you use it. before using it. The device EUI is printed on the device. Enter this key and your registered email address to https://aqua-scope.com/lora to obtain the missing keys. The email address is the account email from Aqua-Scope Shop purchases or the data is provided by your point of sale. If there is no LoRaWAN network or the LORA keys are not registered in the key, the LoRaWAN joining process will fail. LoRaWAN connection will fail after about 25 seconds and the device will automatically switch to LoRaP2P mode for connection to the Aqua-Scope Monitor. Please note that the device always tries to join a LoRaWAN network after power on.
LoRaWAN commands can be daisy chained into the payload up to the defined maximum payload size of 51 bytes. This mean that for all commands sent to defined number of bytes in the payload is required to avoid misinterpretation of command and/or command values in the receiver side. All uplink and downlink commands use FPort=10.
The following sensor types are supported by the Aqua-Scope Monitor.
The following alarmtypes are supported.
All Configuration Parameters are 2 Byte values that can be set and read out using LoRaWAN 'Configuration Get' and 'Configuration Set' commands.
