Thank you for choosing Bristan, the UK’s leading showers and taps expert.
Your Bristan basin spout has a non-touch control which uses infrared sensing
technology to detect human presence. Once detected, the spout instantly
dispenses water and automatically stops once the user moves their hands
away to eliminate unnecessary water wastage, whilst creating a more hygienic
washroom solution.
All products manufactured and supplied by Bristan are safe and comply to
legislative requirements. Providing they are installed correctly and receive
regular maintenance in accordance with these instructions your user experience
will not be aected.
For a safe and successful installation these instructions should be used as
guidance, thereafter they should be left with the user.

• Before starting any installation
please consider the following: before
drilling into walls, check that there are
no hidden electrical wires, cables or
water supply pipes. This can be checked
with the aid of an electronic detector.
• If power tools are used do not
forget to:
- Wear eye protection
- Unplug equipment after use
• Fitting isolating valves to the
inlet feeds is required for ease of
maintenance.
• Warning: Before installing
the new spout it is essential
that you thoroughly
flush through the pipework
in order to remove any remaining swarf,
solder, etc. Failure to carry out this
procedure could cause problems or
damage to the workings of the spout.
• This product must not be modified
in any way as this will invalidate the
guarantee.
• Please read these instructions
thoroughly and retain for future use.
• All products manufactured and
supplied by Bristan are safe provided
they are installed, used correctly
and receive regular maintenance in
accordance with these instructions.
• If you are in any doubt about
your ability to install this product
safely you must employ the
services of an experienced qualified
plumber/electrically qualified
person.
• Warning: Do not
operate the product
if you suspect it is
frozen. Do not site the
product where it might be subjected
to freezing conditions.
• These fittings need to be
installed in accordance with, and
meet the requirements of the Water
Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations
1999
and current byelaws.
• Remove all packaging and check
the contents for damage before
starting installation

This product has been tested to meet the
requirements of the Water Regulations
Advisory Scheme (WRAS) and satisfies
the requirements of the Water Supply
(Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and
current byelaws.
BS 6700 recommends the temperature
of stored water should never exceed
65°C. A stored water temperature of
60°C is considered sucient to meet all
normal requirements and will minimise
the build up of limescale in hard water
areas.
This product should be installed in
compliance with the current Water
Regulations.
If in doubt, contact a registered plumber
or your Local Water Authority or the
Secretary of The Institute of Plumbing,

IMPORTANT
In order to meet Part G building
regulations, an approved
thermostatic blending valve is
required in order to install this
tap correctly.

Water Ecient
When the users hands enter the sensing
range, the indicator light in the sensor
will illuminate. Water will flow out
immediately until the user draws their
hands back from the sensor.
The water will automatically stop after
a maximum of 55 seconds ± 5 seconds
to avoid wasting water. If more water is
required wait 4 seconds and then place
hands back in the sensing range.
More Hygienic
The proximity sensor removes the need
to touch the spout body, reducing the
spread of germs and reducing the chance
of cross infection.
Battery Override
In the event of a power failure, the
product will automatically switch to
battery operated mode to ensure the
spout continues to function. The tap can
also operate on the battery alone if no
mains power source is available.
Low Battery Warning
When the batteries run low and the
power falls below 3.9V the sensor light
will flicker to indicate the batteries are
running low and need replacing.
When the batteries are exhausted the
sensor light will not light up.

Electrical Connections
Regulations: The electrical installation
must be carried out in accordance with
the national electrical regulations and
installed by a qualified person.
Safety: In the interests of electrical
safety a 30 mA residual current device
(R.C.D not supplied) should be installed
in the supply circuit. This may be part of
a consumer unit or a separate unit.
Before starting work on the electrical
supply ensure the power supply is
isolated.
DO NOT allow the supply cord to
contact hot surfaces. The cord should
be safely routed and secured by cable
clips.
Connections: The power supply box
must be permanently connected to the
fixed wiring of the mains supply using
the factory fitted supply cord, via a
switched fused spur o the ring main.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your
connection unit proceed as follows;-
The wire which is coloured blue must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘N’ or is coloured
black.
The wire which is coloured brown must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘L’ or is coloured
red.
Fuse: This following fuse size should be
used.

Installation

Inserting Batteries
Your infrared spout is supplied with a
back up battery pack. In the event of a
power failure the batteries will override
the mains power supply to ensure the
spout continues to function.
Note: If you do not have a mains power
supply, this product can run o the
battery pack.
Before fitting the power supply box into
position on the wall/floor, batteries (not
included) will need to be fitted.
1. Remove Power Supply Box Cover

the power supply box and remove the
cover.
2. Remove Battery Box
Remove the battery case from the power
supply box and remove the screw in the
centre of the case.
3. Insert Batteries
Insert 4 x AA batteries into the battery
box ensuring they are inserted the
correct way.
Note: Only use 1.5V AA (LR6) Alkaline
batteries (preferably => 2000mAh for
good battery life).
4. Replace Battery Box
Replace the battery case cover. Replace
and tighten the screw. Insert the battery
case back into the power supply box.
5. Replace Power Supply Cover

Connecting Water Supply
First, install an approved thermostatic
blending valve to the hot and cold
water supplies.
Before connecting the water supply to
the power supply box flush through the
pipework to ensure removal of debris.
Once flushed through turn o the mains
water supply and close any isolating
valves.
Inlet Connection
The inlet connection on the power
supply box is a 1/2” BSP male
threaded connection.
Connect the blended water supply to
the power box using a 1/2” BSP female
connector, ensuring a suitable sealing
washer is used to create a water tight
connection.

General Cleaning
Your fitting has a high quality finish and
should be treated with care to preserve
the visible surfaces. All surfaces will
wear if not cleaned correctly, the only
safe way to clean your mixer is to wipe
with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be
removed using washing up liquid. All
bath cleaning powders and liquids will
damage the surface of your fitting, even
the non-scratch cleaners.
Note: Never use abrasive detergents
or disinfectants or those containing
alcohol, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric
acid.
Using the Automatic Basin Spout
Place the users hands under the spout
within the sensing range. Once the users
hands have been detected water will flow
constantly until the hands are removed.
After 55 ± 5 seconds the water will stop
flowing.
If the user requires more water remove
hands from the sensing range and wait 4
seconds, then place the hands back into
the sensing range and the water will flow
again.
Sensing Range:
IRBS3-CP/BN: 27-31cm
IRBS5-CP: 15-25cm

Cleaning the Inlet Filter
Before carrying out any maintenance,
turn o the mains water supply and
close any isolating valves.
In hard water area it may be necessary
to regularly clean the inlet filter in the
power supply box to maintain optimum
performance of the infrared spout.
Remove the inlet supply connection
and remove the inlet filter. Run under
cold water to remove any build up of
limescale and debris. Replace the filter
and re-attach the inlet connection,
ensuring that the sealing washer is also
refitted.
