Description
This smart irrigation ball valve combines a straight-through valve assembly with a solar-powered ST-A2 controller. It is intended for irrigation distributors, installation contractors and system integrators specifying remotely operated valves for commercial irrigation networks.
Applications
- Isolating or scheduling individual irrigation zones in field and orchard networks.
- Replacing manual operation at pipe locations where mains power is inconvenient.
- Supplying a valve-and-controller assembly for an integrator-led irrigation project.
Application Illustration
The gallery also includes an edited detail view based on the reference product image. Use the confirmed datasheet and drawings for technical selection.
Smart Irrigation Ball Valve Selection
Select this straight-through assembly when the task is opening, closing or adjusting one irrigation line. It does not provide the two-branch routing of a three-way valve. Opening position alone is not a calibrated flow measurement; flow depends on pressure, valve characteristics and the connected pipework.
Technical Configuration
The following values are listed in the supplier brochure. Confirm the current datasheet and the exact ordered configuration before purchase.
| Parameter | Supplier-listed configuration |
|---|---|
| Controller model | ST-A2; valve assembly must be specified separately |
| Pipe size range | De40–De110, according to the selected assembly |
| Power | Solar panel and lithium battery |
| Communication | Supplier-listed 4G configuration; export compatibility requires confirmation |
| Listed actuator torque | ≥100 N·m; suitability depends on the selected valve |
| Ambient temperature | −20 to 60°C |
| Medium temperature | 0 to 50°C |
Selection and Integration Checks
- Confirm outside diameter, pipe standard, connection method and required pressure rating. De sizes should not be treated as interchangeable with DN or inch connection sizes.
- Provide minimum and maximum operating pressure, flow and water quality, including suspended solids and fertilizer exposure.
- Confirm the exact valve body, seal and connection materials against the intended water quality, fertilizer exposure and installation conditions.
- Check local 4G bands, SIM provisioning, platform language, account access and recurring service charges before ordering.
For connected configurations, overseas network bands, SIM provisioning, platform language, account access and service charges require confirmation. Available control functions depend on the selected hardware, feedback instruments and firmware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this valve operate on any overseas mobile network?
Compatibility cannot be inferred from the brochure’s domestic dual-SIM configuration. Provide the destination country and preferred operator so the modem bands, SIM arrangement and cloud access can be checked.
Does solar power establish a fixed battery life?
No. Operating frequency, actuator load, communications activity, sunlight and battery specification affect autonomy. Ask for the panel and battery specifications and test the intended duty cycle.
Can the opening percentage be used to measure delivered water?
Not by itself. A project requiring volume-based irrigation needs a compatible flow meter and confirmed control logic.
