Purpose and principle of operation of the electric ball valve actuator GIDROLOCK WINNER

The GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuator ensures the safety of water supply and heating systems. In the event of a leak, the device turns off

the water supply, and also notifies of an emergency with the help of a sound and light signals. When water gets on the electrodes of the wired WSP

sensor, the water supply is automatically shut off, the corresponding sound and light signals are issued. The GIDROLOCK WINNER device consists of a

ball valve and an electric actuator for controlling the ball valve (Photo 1).

Useful features & benefits

For reliable operation of the water leakage prevention system, the following functions are implemented in the GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve

actuator:

• Reliable control of water leaks. Electric actuator GIDROLOCK WINNER works with wired sensors WSP and WSP2 (Photo 2).

• Self-cleaning function. During the operation of equipment, problems often arise with the deposition of salts and dirt in pipes and ball valves, the so-

called scaling. Once a month, the electric actuator performs a "cranking" of the ball valve (Photo 4), provided that the electric ball valve actuator is in

the open state.

• 10 years of autonomous operation. Fully autonomous operation. Estimated operating time of the GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuator on

4 built-in batteries (AA 3000 mAh Lithium type) in standby mode is up to 10 years (Photo 3). It is possible to connect an external +12V power unit (not

included, purchased separately, see "Connecting the GIDROLOCK WINNER device to an external power unit" on page 8).

• Wide range of supply voltage. The supply voltage to the electric ball valve actuator can range from 6V to 12V. Absolutely safe voltage for humans

when used in domestic water supply systems.

• Automatic control of the charge level of built-in batteries. When the voltage of the built-in batteries drops below a certain level, a corresponding

warning sound signaling is triggered - 10 sound signals with an interval of 30 minutes (it works with the autonomous operation of the electric actuator

only).

• Built-in remote control of the ball valve position. Leaving the apartment, you can shut off (open) remotely the water supply using a conventional

wired switch (Photo 23, page 7), located, for example, in the corridor.

• Possibility of manual control of the ball valve position and quick disconnection of the electric actuator from the ball valve. Now it is possible to

install GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuators instead of manual taps at the water inlet to an apartment or house, which saves space in the

plumbing cabinet (Photos 9, 10, 11).

• Installation in hard-to-reach places is possible! During installation, the electric actuator can be disconnected from the ball valve (Photo 1, 7), which

simplifies installation and makes it possible to install the device on almost any part of the water supply or heating system.

Fastening the electric actuator to the ball valve

The electric actuator is attached to the ball valve with a metal bracket (Photos 1, 5, 6, 7). To do this, connect the electric actuator and the ball valve by

inserting the valve stem into the hole of the electric actuator gearbox (Photo 5), rotate the electric actuator body relative to the ball valve so that the

holes for the bracket on the electric actuator body coincide with the grooves on the round mounting face of the valve. Then insert the bracket as far as

it will go, its ends should be in the opposite holes of the electric actuator body (Photo 6) (slight effort may be required).

Manual control of the ball valve position

To manually control the position of the ball valve, you need to remove the metal bracket (Photo 9), then, without removing the electric actuator from

the valve mounting face, turn the electric actuator body 90 degrees to close or open the ball valve (Photos 10 and 11)

Installation and connection of wired water leakage sensors WSP and WSP2

•Install water leakage sensors in places where water is most likely to appear in the event of leaks —for example, on the floor under the sink, bathtub,

washing machine. If necessary, you can extend the WSP leakage sensor wires up to 100 meters. For this purpose, it is recommended to use a twisted

pair cable, e.g.: FTP 2x2x0.35, UTP 2x2x0.35.

• Place the water leakage sensors on the floor with the electrodes facing down. All wired water leakage sensors are connected to the terminals in

parallel. To connect a large number of sensors, it is necessary to use additional terminal contacts and junction boxes.

• Connect the WSP/WSP2 water leakage sensors to the GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuator (Photos 12, 13, 14, 15). Terminals for connecting

wired water leakage sensors:

Switching on for the first time

The GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuator is supplied unassembled. A set of batteries is included in the delivery and installed in the housing

of the electric actuator. To prevent the batteries from being discharged during transportation and storage, a jumper is removed on the control board,

which is responsible for supplying power - a jumper (1) located on the inside of the electric ball valve actuator cover (Photo 7). To switch the device on:

1) open the cover of the electric actuator; 2) install the jumper (1) on the control board located on the inner side of the cover (Photo 7).

Installing and replacing batteries

The operating time of the electric actuator in autonomous mode depends on the type and quality of the batteries installed.

ATTENTION!

The battery charge level automatic control function works only with the autonomous operation of the electric

actuator. When a warning signal is received, the batteries in the electric actuator must be replaced.

ATTENTION!

You can mute the warning sound signaling (until the next event) by simultaneously pressing the

and

OPEN

buttons on

the electric actuator body (Photo 8). After replacing the batteries, the warning beep will turn off automatically.

To replace the batteries:

•

Disconnect the electric actuator from the ball valve (Photo 9).

•

Unscrew the 3 self-tapping screws on the cover of the electric actuator. Open the cover of the electric actuator (Photo 16).

•

Unscrew the 2 long screws securing the 4 batteries and the contact plate (Photo 17). Replace batteries.

ATTENTION!

Observe the polarity when replacing the batteries as shown in Photos 16 and 17.

•

Gently tighten the 2 screws securing the 4 batteries and the contact plate.

ATTENTION!

Do not overtighten the screws to avoid bending the PCB.

Connecting the GIDROLOCK WINNER device to an external power supply

Estimated operating time of the GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuator based on 4 built-in batteries (type AA 3000 mAh Lithium) in standby

mode (auto-cranking once a month, no emergency situations, remote water supply shutdown is not used) is up to 10 years. Frequent remote shutdown

of the water supply, the presence of emergency shutdowns and other emergency situations with the shutdown of the water supply by the electric ball

valve actuator leads to a significant decrease in the operating time with one set of batteries. In such cases, it is recommended to use an external DC 12V

power supply (Photo 18).

When using an external power supply unit, it is necessary to connect the red wire (+12V) of the power supply to the +U terminal of the electric actuator,

connect the black wire (-12V) of the power supply to the GND terminal of the electric actuator (Photo 19, 20).

ATTENTION!

In some models of the power supply, the color coding of the wires may differ from the above. It is recommended to first check the

description of the power supply and observe the polarity of the voltage in accordance with it.

Connecting the remote wired switch to the electric ball valve actuator

For remote control of the water supply,

any

mechanical switch

with latching position for external or internal wiring (Photo 22) (not included) must

connected

to the FUN and GND terminals of the electric actuator.

Terminals for connecting a switch for remote opening / shutting off the water supply: FUN, GND (shorting the FUN and GND terminals will close the

actuator, opening these terminals will open the actuator) (Photo 24). For connection, it is recommended to use a twisted pair cable, e.g.: FTP 2x2x0.35,

UTP 2x2x0.35 (Photo 23). The switch can be located in a convenient place for you (for example, in the corridor). Now you can shut off (open) the water

supply remotely.

ATTENTION!

When a water leak is detected, signals from the remote water supply control switch are ignored by the device until the accident is

eliminated.

ATTENTION!

Do not apply voltage to the FUN, GND terminals.

Combining several electric actuators of the GIDROLOCK WINNER series into a system

In certain cases, it may be necessary to connect the GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuator with other electric actuators of the GIDROLOCK

WINNER series. For example, if the water supply system provides for shutting off cold and hot water, then two devices will be required to solve this

problem: one GIDROLOCK WINNER electric ball valve actuator as the master and the other as the slave.

Several electric actuators can be connected to the master device (Fig. 1). Terminals for combining two or more electric actuators into a single system:
