MQ-2B Solar 4G/LoRaWAN Smart Irrigation 2-Way Ball Valve DN15-DN100

MQ-2B Solar-Powered
4G/LoRaWAN Smart Irrigation 2-way Ball Valve

DN15–DN100, IP67 — remote on/off control for agriculture, orchards, greenhouses,
landscaping, and IoT flow control.

Overview

The MQ-2B is a solar-powered 4G/LoRaWAN smart irrigation ball valve designed for remote on/off control in agriculture, orchards, greenhouses, landscaping, and IoT flow control. It is a 2-port inline motorized ball valve available in DN15–DN100 (1/2"–4"), rated IP67, and built with a PVC-U valve body and a nylon + stainless steel actuator/controller.

The MQ-2B uses a rechargeable 21700 lithium-ion battery (4000 mAh) with a 1.3 W solar panel and a 12 V DC external input for backup power. It supports 4G LTE, LoRa, and LoRaWAN communication, making it suitable for both standalone remote valves and large multi-valve farms with a gateway.

Remote control is available through a mobile app and web portal. Local app availability may vary by region.

Key Benefits

• No AC wiring required. The 1.3 W solar panel charges the 21700 battery. A 12 V DC external input is available for backup power.
• Flexible network options. Choose 4G LTE for standalone sites, or LoRa / LoRaWAN for large farms with many valves and a gateway.
• Remote on/off control. Manage irrigation zones from a mobile app or web portal.
• Real-time status and alerts. Valve and actuator status feedback, fault warnings, and low-battery alerts.
• Outdoor-rated construction. IP67 housing with corrosion-resistant materials.
• Easy installation and removal. Standard DN installation dimensions fit existing valve setups.
• Optional flow monitoring. Minimum flow velocity >0.1 m/s (0.33 ft/s), Accuracy Class 4.

Ordering Guide

Build your order code like this:

MQ-2B – Network – Size (DN) – Connection

Options:

• Network: G = 4G, L = LoRa, LA = LoRaWAN
• Size (DN): 15 / 20 / 25 / 32 / 40 / 50 / 65 / 80 / 100
• Connection: FF = Female Threaded, SW = Solvent Weld

Example:

MQ-2B-G-32-FF
= MQ-2B, 4G communication, DN32 (1-1/4"), female threaded connection.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation: The MQ-2B uses standard DN installation dimensions and can replace conventional valves without changing the piping layout. Connection options include female threaded and solvent-weld socket.

Power setup: The 1.3 W solar panel charges the 21700 battery. A 12 V DC external input is available for backup power in low-light conditions.

Network setup: Choose 4G LTE, LoRa, or LoRaWAN based on site coverage and project scale. 4G LTE works for standalone valves. LoRa/LoRaWAN suits large farms with many valves and a gateway.

Maintenance: Check the solar panel surface periodically for dust and debris. Inspect seals and connections. Monitor fault and low-battery alerts through the mobile app or web portal.
