Product Description

Flow Stop 2 moves the operating handle of a ball valve allowing to stopping the flow of gas or water. It can be mounted non-intrusive on any pipe size between 0.5 and 1.5 inch. This means the original water or gas pipe will not be opened or manipulated and it is possible to remove the Flow stop again without any damage to the water or gas pipe. Installing the Flow stop will not tamper or change any security measure applied or your gas or water installation. The device is equipped with a powerful 12 V motor providing sufficient torque to open or close any ball valve within 10 seconds. A complete manual operation of the valve remains possible due to the clutch release bearing. The device can be operated using the local button and remotely using Z-Wave wireless communication. Various functions protect the flow stop from accidental or intentional misuse: 

  • Z-Wave Communication applies enhanced security implementing the Security Command Class. This does not only protect the device against burglars that want to do harm to the home (e.g. waste water by opening the valve to watering system). It’s also protecting better against jamming of the communication link.
  • Configuration of the local LED. The user can now decide if the blue LED shall indicate open or close state
  • Unsolicited report of any state change of the flow stop to the controller.
  • Second communication channel to report manual operation of the device. Here up to 5 other devices can be operated independent of the controller, e.g. to announce any local operation.
  • The remote operation of the device can be limited to „no“, „only open“ or „only close“ to further protect against malfunction. 

Installation




Use on pipelines

The main ball valve should be located in an easily accessible place where manual opening and closing is also possible. If the Flow Flow Stop shut-off motor is installed, it should have a minimum distance of 20mm to the
Wall.

1. Mount the Popp Flow Stop 2 on the ball valve using the mounting bracket and the pipe clamps that surround the pipe and fix the motor to the connection hole.
2. Fix the mounting bracket using two M6*16 hexagonal screws along the guide rail at both ends of the bracket, but do not over tighten the screws.
3. Loosen the screws from the valve arm and position the valve lever to hiss the Veliarm guide. Tighten the screws.
4. Adjust the position of the shut-off motor so that it sits straight and parallel on the pipe and the coupling remains freely accessible for the output shaft. Then tighten two M6*16 hexagonal bolts with a 10# open-end or ring spanner (socket spanner recommended).

To integrate the unit into a Z-Wave network (include), press the red function button on the top of the motor housing three times. During inclusion/exclusion, the unit should be within a maximum distance of one meter from the control controller. Before an inclusion/exclusion process, the two screws must be loosened.

For bottled gas user

To connect bottled gas, the user uninstall the original pressure reducing valve and install the manipulator with the special ball valve for pipe between the original angle valve and pressure reducing valve, and then tighten it. 

Product Usage

The Flow Stop can be operated in three different ways. 




  1. Remotely using Z-Wave wireless on/off commands. The device will appear in your controller as a simple on/off switch easy to operate. To protect the device from tampering or wrongdoing you can limit the remote operations using the configuration parameter #1.
  2. Local operation by simple pushing the red button. Any push of the button will result in a change of the status from open to close or vice versa.
  3. Mechanical overwrite allows opening or closing the valve even in case of a power failure. Disconnect the valve using the internal clutch by pulling the ring. Keep the ring pulled while moving the handle manually. Never move the handle without having the clutch disconnected. As best it will not work, as the worst case it will destroy the device. Operating the valve manually only works without power supply. If the Flow Stop is powered and you operate the valve the motor will drive it into previous position immediately.

Reset to factory default Press the button for at least 10 seconds.
