Gate Valve Servo
For Angled and Straight Seats
The Angled Seat Valve Servo is a motor to retrofit existing and installed Gate or even Angled Seat Gate
Valves popular in several European countries into smart water controlling devices. Its wireless
communication capabilities are compatible with the LoRaWAN industry standard for easy integration
into existing networks. Additionally, the device is controlled directly by the Aqua-Scope Monitor to
compose a complete Leak Protection System. The motor is powered by a 12 V external power supply or
- optional – a battery block.
Various adapter rings and a sophisticated patented connection system allow to apply the motor on all
contemporary Angled Seat Valves from DN15 to DN32. The device can operate in difficult environmental
conditions, even submerged under water, and allows to directly connect one additional local water
sensor pad by cable.

Installation
The motor actuator can be applied to all contemporary angle seat valves commercially available. The
motor replaces the - usually green - handwheel mounted on the valve, which must be uninstalled for
this purpose.
The motor servo consists of three main components:
• The motor head with the power supply cable (M).
• The inner coupler, which connects the motor to the spindle (black part) (K)
• The outer housing, which connects the motor housing to the valve housing. (G)
In addition, adapters are needed both to adapt the inner coupler to the different spindle diameters
(W1…W3) and to connect the outer housing to the different valve housings (A1…A4).
Modification on the valve spindle
The first step is to remove the handwheel from the stem by removing the screw in the center. A few
manufacturers do not use the typical green handwheel. However, the metal spindle is always hidden
under the plastic. The appropriate ball bearing seat (W1 … W3) is now placed on its square end and
fastened with the screw of the handwheel. With the new handwheel (H) supplied, the valve can also be
operated manually in this state.
Mounting the main housing
The main housing (G) must be firmly connected to the valve body. Adapter rings (Ax) for M17, M22, M27
or M30 wrench sizes are used for this purpose. The appropriate adapter ring is placed on the valve body.
If none of the supplied adapters fit the valve, please contact Aqua-Scope support.

Depending on the length of the valve spindle, one of both of the spacer rings (D1,D2) may need to be
inserted between the adapter ring (Ax) and the main housing (G). To determine the need for this, the
following steps must be carried out:
1. The valve is completely open.
2. The main housing (G) is slipped over the spindle and the inner coupler (K) is pushed into the main
housing from above.
3. If the inner coupler (K) cannot be pushed completely into the main housing (G) without sitting
on the valve housing, or if the main housing can be connected to the adapter ring already
installed at the same time, then a spacer ring (D1 or D2) must be placed between the adapter
ring (Ax) and the main housing (G). This is usually the case for valves with rising stem. The spacer
rings are12 or 24 mm.
4. The supplied handwheel (H) can be put on the inner main coupler (K) and operate the valve
manually. Make sure that the valve can be moved to both the OPEN and CLOSED positions.
Final assembly
The final step is to slide the hold-down bracket (N) over the main body and secure it in place with the
two supplied tension straps so that the entire structure is firmly attached to the valve body. The
tensioning straps can be released again by applying slight pressure at the ends. As a final step, the drive
motor (M) is plugged onto the main housing (G). In doing so, it connects to the inner coupler.
Valves of Wilhelm Ewe GmbH & Co. KG
The valves of this company have a very special design. You need to
apply the split ring (S1+S2) instead of the adapter ring and use the
space ring 24 mm to hold the split ring in place. Below the ball bearing seat, you need to place the small
spacer ring (D).
External Flood Sensor
The device allows attaching an optional wired flood sensor to the device. There is a connector on the
power cable next to the motor. Remove the blue protection pad and plugin the sensor. You must apply
some force to push the jack to ensure water-proof connection. Once the sensor head detects water a
flood alarm is issued, the valve is closed and the alarm is indicated with buzzer and LEDs. Once the sensor
head is free of water, you may want to clear the alarm by hitting the button for 2 seconds. It is also
possible to clear alarm using a wireless LORA command. In both cases an Alarm clear report is sent uplink
to the LORA network.
Operating the device
You can open or close the valve by briefly pressing the button. If you press the pushbutton while the
motor is running, the running direction will be reversed.
S1/2
D

The device must calibrate to detect the end positions of the valve. Once these end positions are known
the motor will gently stop at this position and not ‘hit against the wall’ to protect the mechanics and
ensure long lifetime and reliable operation. After powering up the device will perform a short move to
detect if the last position was open or close. The first opening or closing operations are used to perform
the calibration. No further user interaction is needed for calibration.
The device has a two-color LED with the following meaning:
• Green slowly flashing: valve is open
• Red slowly flashing: Valve is closed
• Red/green flashing: Motor is moving
• Red flashing: Flood alarm
• Red triple flashing: motor is blocked.
Wireless Communication - LoRaWAN
To pair the device with an Aqua-Scope Monitor, follow the instructions in the Aqua-Scope app.
The device can be controlled directly via LoRaWAN. For this purpose, different commands are defined, which are used either 'uplink’, i.e.
from the device to the LoRa network, or 'downlink’, i.e. from the LoRa network to the device. Commands can be cascaded up to the
maximum number of 52 bytes. All values of the command descriptions are bytes, unless otherwise specified.
Downlink-Commands:
• 0x07 XX: Set valve position XX = 0 = close, XX = 0x64 = open
• 0x0b 0x00: Clear local alarm
• 0x17: Get valve position, device answers with uplink command 0x07
• 0x03: Get hardware ID, device answers with uplink command 0x03
• 0x04: PP VV_MSB VV_LSB: Set configuration parameter PP for new 16 Bbt value VV
• 0x1a: Get firmware version, device answers with uplink command 0x03a
• 0x14 PP: Get configuration parameter PP, device answers with uplink command 0x04
Uplink-Commands:
• 0x03 XX YY_MSB, YY_LSB: Report hardware version XX and device capabilities bitmap YY
• 0x04 PP VV_MSB VV_LSB: Report 16 Bit Value VV of configuration parameter PP
• 0x06 01 VV_MSB VV_LSB: Report 16 Bit temperature sensor value VV
• 0x07 XX: Report valve position XX
• 0x0a YY_MSB YY YY YY_LSB: Report firmware version as 32 Bit value
• 0x0b XX YY ZZ_MSB, ZZ_LSB: Report alarm state XX (1 or 0) of alarm type YY with optional value Z. Current alarm types are 0x01
= external flood sensor, 0x02 = temperature alarm
Configuration Parameters
Parameter 1 - Status interval
Description: The device reports regularly to the LORA network. This parameter defines the time interval for these reports in minutes. The
default is 0x015 = 15 minutes. The value range is 0x0005 - 0x10E0
Parameter 2 - Message type
Description: This parameter defines whether confirmed or unconfirmed messages are sent over LoRaWAN. The default is 0x01 =
confirmed message. The value 0x00 sets to unconfirmed message.
Parameter 3 - Scale value for temperature report
Description: This parameter defines whether a temperature value should be in Celsius (0x00) or Fahrenheit (0x01). The default setting is
Celsius.
Parameter 4 - Repeat alarm report
Description: This parameter defines how an alarm report is sent to the LoRa network. The parameter combines two different values: The
more significant byte describes how often an alarm packet is retransmitted. The default setting here is 0x03 = 3 times. A value between
0x00 (no repetition) and 0xff (unlimited repetition) can be selected. The least significant byte defines the repeat interval in minutes. Here
the default setting is 0x01. This means the default parameter is 0x0301.

Parameter 5 - Regular valve training
Description: A valve should be moved regularly to maintain its smooth operation. The device can perform this training independently from
control by a LoRa network.
The parameter combines two different values: The higher-order byte describes whether (1) or not (0) valve training should take place. The
low-order byte defines the interval of the training in days. Values between 1 and 30 days are possible. The default value is 0x0107, i.e.
training takes place every 7 days.
Parameter 6 - Local display
Description: With this parameter the buzzer and the LEDs can be activated (0x01) or deactivated (0x00) directly at the device. The lower
byte defines the behavior of the buzzer, the higher byte the behavior of the LED. The default value is 0x0101, i.e. both buzzer and LED are
active (for example during motor movement).
Parameter 7 - Threshold value for temperature report
Description: This parameter defines at which temperature change an additional temperature report is sent in addition to the regular
temperature report. The value is given in 0.1 degrees Celsius and must be greater than 0x000a (= 1 degree). The default value is 0x000a.
