- This variation in distance can, if necessary, be detected by the device (the intensity of the signal being different as a function of the distance D1 or D2) for:
- the device 100 can signal to the user (via an alarm) that the mechanical lock of the second valve 1 on the first valve is not correct based on the exchange of data between the members 8, 101 communication (nature or signal strength for example).
- the electronics 12 for acquiring and processing data can be shaped to detect a connected or disconnected state of the second valve 1 with respect to the first valve 30 according to the state of the wireless communication link between the device 8 communication electronics of the first set and the electronic communication element 101 of the second valve 1 (that is to say according to the position of the support part 10 of the second valve 1 relative to the electronic communication element 8 of the first together).
- this communication can be interrupted when the support piece 10 is moved to its first position (for example no communication because out of maximum communication range of one of the two bodies 8, 101 or insufficient signal intensity received).
