Valve Positioning Sensor

The Lansitec Valve Positioning Sensor leverages LoRa technology and a built-in magnet sensor to track valve rotation angles with 1° accuracy. This compact device measures both the direction and total number of turns, reporting real-time data to a LoRaWAN gateway. With configurable heartbeat intervals and operating modes, plus support for FOTA over Bluetooth, it delivers reliable performance and minimal maintenance in industrial or municipal environments.

Valve Positioning Sensor Features

What Makes it Unique

1° Rotation Accuracy Precisely detect forward or reverse valve turns within a 360° range, enabling efficient and accurate monitoring.
Compact Design Small footprint makes for easy installation where space is at a premium.
LoRaWAN Connectivity Transmit data over distances >1 km (urban), using AES128 encryption.

Long Battery Life Dual 2800mAh batteries (5600mAh total) support around four years of typical usage.
FOTA Over Bluetooth Update firmware without disassembling or uninstalling the sensor.
3D Accelerometer G-sensor allows for additional motion-based detection and system calibration.

Valve Positioning Sensor Use Cases

What it Could be Used for

Pipeline Flow Control

Monitor water, oil, or gas valve positions in real time to quickly identify partial closures or accidental adjustments, ensuring efficient flow and preventing service disruptions.

Municipal Water Management

Oversee distribution valves across urban networks. Track valve angles and usage to schedule preventive maintenance and reduce water loss or unauthorized alterations.

Industrial HVAC Systems

Maintain optimal airflow or fluid flow within commercial buildings and factories. Detect valve misalignments or blockages early to minimize downtime.

Smart Irrigation

Track rotation of irrigation valves on large farms or golf courses, ensuring timely watering schedules and detecting issues before crops or landscapes are impacted.

Remote Infrastructure

Install on valves in distant or hard-to-reach locations such as hydroelectric dams or remote pumping stations; real-time angle reports allow quick operational decisions without physical inspections.

Offshore & Marine Operations

Manage valve positions on ships or offshore platforms. The sensor’s IP68 enclosure and robust temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) make it well-suited to harsh marine environments where accurate real-time data is essential for safety and efficiency.
