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.

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.

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.

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.
