Regulatory/Compliance Notice
FCC Statement
-
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. -
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.|
To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 20mm must be maintained between the user’s body and the device, including the antenna.
Product Description
The IETF Manifold(Model: IoTHFEE) is used to remotely control of two different
valves individually via EE motors targeted for use on the same application.
One is a Metering Valve and the other is an HF(High Flow) valve. The metering
valve regulates the flow control on the plumbing line. The purpose of the HF
valve would be to give a master control over the manifold.
1. Delivery Package Items
The delivery package contains all the valves and components needed for full
assembly. In this case, there are 01xHF & 06x Metering Valves in the package.
The full assembly also includes an aluminum CNC-machined IOT ComBox casing
(see below). Additional items include the power adapter, SCSI cable and
antenna for LoRa.
Metering Valve Assembly
2. IOT ComBox Set-up & Connectivity
a. Refer to Section 1 for a picture of a fully assembled IOTHF Manifold. The
below setup shows just the IOTHF with the IOT Combox.
b. Connect the Antenna, Power Adaptor M8 Connector & SCSI Cable Connector to
IoT ComBox. The items are in bold in the picture.
Connection 1 :
Antenna This is Antenna with an SMA plug provided in the packaging.
Connect the SMA plug of the right-angle antenna to the communication box per
the picture shown below.
Warning! After inserting the SMA plug, tighten the plug and set the
antenna in the vertical direction.
Connection 2 : Power Adaptor M8 Connector
This is an M8 Female (4-pin) Power Adapter (24V, 2A) Note: There is no Modbus
RTU support when using this power adapter.
Warning! 1. After inserting the Female M8 plug, do remember to tighten
it.
Connection 3: SCSI Cable Connector
This is a SCSI Cable Connector (37-pins) for 7 motors control.
Note: Finger press both sides hook to detach SCSI cable connector from
IoT ComBox. Please ensure SCSI connector (male) orientation is correct to
connect to IoT ComBox SCSI mating connector (female). SCSI connectors are
D-Shape.
Connect SCSI Cable Connector to IoT ComBox. Please refer to the photo below:
On the other end of the SCSI cable, it has individual labels on 7 Jacket
cables to indicate the individual valve connection, i.e. HF => IOTHF Valve, V1
to V6 => IOT
Metering Valve. You can refer to the picture in Section 1 for the IoT Manifold
overall interconnection.
3. Green LED Status Indication
| LED Status | Function / Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Fast Blink | Power on and connecting to LoRa Gateway |
| Slow Blink | Provisioning to the IoT-LET Cloud |
| Solid ON | In Operational Mode |
| OFF | Power Off |
Warning! If the LED remains at Slow Blink continuous for ~5mins, it may have connected in Test Mode. Please power cycle the valve again for it to join correctly. Power OffFunction / Behaviour Power on and connecting to LoRa Gateway Provisioning to the IoT-LET Cloud
Troubleshooting the IOTHF Manifold
This section explains the steps you can take when you receive an alarm
notification from the IoT-LET Portal on the IOTHF Manifold.
IOTHF Alarms
Alarm: IOTHF has reached more than X cycles Which means the IOTHF is close to
the end of its lifecycle. When that happens, the following is observed:
A) The open/close indicator on the valve is not aligned with the current
expected valve status.
B) There may be a leakage when the valve is closed. Please prepare to replace
the IOTHF with a new valve.
Alarm: IOTHF is detected to be not turning properly This means that the motor
has turned the IOTHF into an incorrect position.
Please try the following steps:
A) Do a calibration on the IOTHF. The calibration will make the valve OPEN
followed by CLOSE or vice versa. Please check that the open/close indicators
are correctly aligned when the valve is OPEN/CLOSE
If the recovery steps do not help, please arrange to replace the HF valve with
a new valve.
IOT Metering Valve Alarms
Alarm: IOT Metering valve has reached more than X turns Which means the
IoT Metering valve is close to the end of its lifecycle. When that happens,
the following is observed:
A) There may be a leakage when the metering valve is Open Level 0%. Please
prepare to replace the IOT Metering valve with a new valve.
Alarm:
IOT Metering valve is detected to be not turning properly Which means that the
motor has turned the IoT Metering valve into an incorrect position. Please try
the following steps:
A) Do a calibration on the IoT Metering Valve. The calibration will make the
valve move from Open Level 0 to 100% or vice versa. Do the same move operation
again to see whether the alarm is sent again.
If the recovery steps do not help, please arrange to replace the metering
valve with a new valve.
Alarm: IOT Metering valve is detected to be not functional
Which means that the motor is not turning at all. Please try the following
steps:
A) Check whether the motor cable is connected properly to the SCSI cable
connector \
B) Power cycle the manifold, the valve will go back to it’s the initial state.
C) Connect the metering valve to another metering valve’s connector and see
whether it can be operated at the new connection If the recovery steps do not
help, please arrange to replace the metering valve with a new valve.
