Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A retrofit valve shutoff device is provided that comprises a coupling key for coupling with an actuator of a shutoff valve on a fluid supply line, an inertial measurement unit for generating one or more signals in response to arrival of seismic waves, a motor for rotating the coupling key and the actuator of the shutoff valve, and a processing unit for receiving the one or more signals from the inertial measurement unit, analyzing the received signals to determine whether to close the shutoff valve, and sending a signal to the motor to rotate the coupling key and the actuator of the shutoff valve to close the shutoff valve based on the analysis of the received signals.
