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 affected.
For a safe and successful installation these instructions should be used as guidance,
thereafter they should be left with the user.

Product features
Water Efficient
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 30 seconds ±5 seconds
to avoid wasting water. If more water is
required wait 3 seconds and then place
hands back in the sensing range.
Temperature Control
Manual temperature control lever allows
users to set preferred temperature.
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.

Installation Requirements
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 off 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.

If the user requires more water remove
hands from the sensing range and wait
3 seconds, then place the hands back into
the sensing range and the water will flow
again.
Note: The sensing range for all models is
30-32cm from the sensor.

Maintenance
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.
Cleaning the Inlet Filter
Before carrying out any maintenance, turn
off the mains water supply and close any
isolating valves.
In hard water area it may be necessary to
regularly clean the inlet filter to maintain
optimum performance of the infrared
spout.
Remove the flexi tails from the inlet water
supply 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 flexi tails to the inlet
water supply.
