Installation Instructions
and User Guide
Infrared Temperature Control
Automatic Basin Spout

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.

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.

Important Safety Information

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,

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 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.

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.

through the hole in the sink / work
surface.
Also ensure that the product is at least
360mm away from reflective surfaces
to prevent the tap from automatically
switching on and o.
2. Secure Spout to Sink / Work Surface
Thread the rubber washer and metal
washer onto the fixing rod up to the
underside of the sink / work surface.
Secure the spout in place by screwing
the fixing nut onto the fixing rod.
Tighten the fixing nut using a suitable
spanner.
3. Connect Sensor Cable
See ‘Electrical Connections’ installation.

neutral connection and the brown
wire should be connected to the live
connection.
Note: For full electrical requirements see
‘Electrical Connections’ in ‘Installation
Requirements’ section.
Important: This product must be
permanently connected to the fixed
wiring of the mains supply using the
factory supplied power cable.

Before connecting the water
supplies to the spout, flush
through the pipework to
ensure removal of debris.
Turn o the mains water supply and
close any isolating valves. Screw the
flexible tails into the bottom of the
spout, ensuring it is tightened fully by
hand only.
Connect the flexible tails to the hot and
cold water supplies. Turn on the mains
water supply letting the water flow
for a few minutes. Check all joints and
connections for any leaks.

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.
1. 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).
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow
these guidelines
may result in poor
performance and
damage to the
flexible tails.

Installation - Electrical Connections

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 30 ± 5 seconds the water will stop
flowing.
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.
Temperature Control
Manual temperature control lever allows
users to set preferred temperature.

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 o 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.
