Aqua-Scope BVS-LWU01 Manual

Ball Valve Servo LoRaWAN
SKU: BVSLWE01
Quick-Start
This is a secure wireless LoRaWAN controllable Valve Motor Servo. For wireless operation it requires a LoRaWAN
network with support for Class C devices. The device will support OTAA method to join the network. Don't use the
device without being mounted on a ball valve. Right after power up it will try calibrating the end position which will
fail when not mounted correctly.

Important safety information

disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.

Product Description

The BVS is a motor to retrofit existing and installed ball valves into smart water-controlling devices. The motor is
powered by a 12 V external power supply or - optionally – a battery block.
The variable clamps allow mounting the device even in complex pipe installations. The patented motor coupling
ensures easy installation and precise long-term operation. The device can operate in difficult environmental
conditions, even submerged under water and allows directly connecting one additional local water sensor pad by
cable.
The device can operate in two modes:
Stand-Alone: No further wireless connectivity is needed. A single click on the button opens and closes the valve.
Clicking the button during open or close operation stops movement. The next click will continue the operation.
Escaping water is detected by the external sensor pad and the valve it shut off accordingly. The button on the
device allows clearing the alarm. Device in factory reset state operate in stand-alone mode without further
configuration.
LoRaWAN Network Mode: The device joined a LoRaWAN network as Class C device. All functions of the Stand-
Alone mode remain active. Leakage or Temperature Alarms are forwarded to the LoRaWAN network and Class C
commands can control the motor.

Calibration

The BSV is able to both measure the rotation angle and detect the end positions of the handle. It can therefore
gently reach the end positions to avoid any friction and unneeded mechanical stress. Whenever the device is
powered or repowered it will do a calibration run first. To start the calibration just hit the button once. You will
witness some movements of the handle and after 10...20 seconds the device is ready to operate.
Calibration requires the BVS is mounted to a ball valve. The device will detect if no valve is present and stop
calibration. In this case the operation of the handle (both by button and by wireless command) is disabled.

Installation

1. Make sure the power is disconnected.
2. Choose the right size of the fork according to the size of the valve handle.
