PRE-INsTAllATION INfO
Check contents
Separate all parts from the packaging and check each part with
the “Pack contents” section.
Pay attention to the different models variations.
Make sure all parts are accounted for before discarding any
packaging material.
If any parts are missing, do not attempt to install your electronic
mixer or tap until you obtain the missing parts.
Warnings
Do not install facing a mirror or any other electronic system
operated by an infrared sensor.
To prevent reflection problems, it is recommended to keep a
minimum distance of 1.50 meters between the mixer or tap and
any other objects.
Preparation for installation
Important:
All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to installation, as
foreign materials may block the flow regulating device and reduce
the flow of water.

MIXER OR TAP INsTAllATION
Step 1 – Preparation for mounting
the mixer or tap
Shut off water supply and remove
the hexagonal nut, the disc and
the gasket. Do not remove the
O-ring from the base of the mixer
or tap.
Step 2 – Installing the mixer
or tap
1. Insert the inlet connection
end of each flexible tail
through the hole in the deck
then place tap over deck
hole. Make sure the O-ring
is located between the deck
and the bottom of the mixer
or tap.
2. Slide the gasket and disc
onto the threaded stud then
screw on the hexagonal nut
and tighten.

MIXER OR TAP INsTAllATION
Step 3 – Connecting the water supply
1. a. Flush lines, t lter washer and connect
the exible tail to the water supply and
tighten to compress the sealing washer to
provide a watertight joint.
b. For models with temperature control
connect the red exible tail to the hot water
supply and the blue exible tail to the cold
water supply.
Important: Flexible tails must not be kinked,
twisted or in tension when installed. (Minimum
bend radius = 50mm). Do not install exible
tails where subject to ultra violet light.
2. Turn on the central water supply and the isolating stop taps.
3. Check for leaks.
Step 4 - Connecting the power source
1. Connect the power source:
a. For battery versions: Insert 1 x 9V battery into Dual Input
Power Box (see page 13 for details). Install the battery’s
box at the wall underneath the basin using the two sided
adhesive foam tape. The cable connection must point
down.
b. For mains option: Insert 1 x 9V battery into Dual Input
Power Box (see page 13 for details). Remove protective
rubber cap then connect the Transformer.
c. Connect the motor connector to the power source connector. Please note that since the
connector is water proof, some friction might apply. Important: push in the connector so that the
white o-ring is not visible and a clicking sound is heard. If not connected properly, the motor will
work continuously.
2. Wait a few seconds before activating the mixer or tap.
3. If the range is unsatisfactory, refer to the section titled “Settings adjustment”.

Adjusting the settings with the remote control
If necessary, the sensor settings can be adjusted as following:
Shut off the water supply. In order to adjust the sensor with the remote control,
hold the remote control straight in front of the sensor in a distance of about
6-8” (15-20cm). Choose the function you want to adjust by pressing once on
one of the function buttons. After pressing once on a specific function button, a
quick flashing of the red light at the front of the sensor will occur. At this stage,
you can change the setting by pressing the (+) or the (-) buttons, every push will
increase or decrease one level. After finishing the adjustment, turn the water
supply back on.

sETTINGs ADjusTMENT
DETECTION RANGE: The sensor range is the greatest distance
that an object can be away from the sensor to activate the mixer
or tap. The sensor is factory preset.
To adjust the sensor range press + to increase detection range
and – to decrease the detection range of the sensor.
SECURITY TIME:The Security time, prevents continuous flushing
of water due to reflections or vandalism. By default, if the sensor
is covered for more than 90 seconds the water flow will shut
automatically. To resume regular operation any obstruction must be
removed.
Press the SEC button. Wait until a quick flashing of the red light of the
sensor eye is perceived. Then, press + to increase the security time
and – to reduce it.
DELAY IN TIME: It is recommended to change the delay in time for
flush valves for urinals or toilets only.
If required, the delay in time can be modified also in mixer or tap as
follows: Press the IN button. Wait until a quick flashing of the red light
of the sensor eye is perceived. Then, press + to increase the delay in
time and – to reduce it.
DELAY OUT TIME: This button allows modifying the water flow time
after the user removes his hands from the mixer or tap. A delay out
time close to 0 will save more water. An increased delay out time will
make the user experience more comfortable.
If required, the delay out time can be modified as follows:
Press the OUT button. Wait until a quick flashing of the red light of the
sensor eye is perceived. Then, press + to increase the delay out time
and – to reduce it.
24 HOUR HYGIENE FLUSH: If you have a compatible model with a 24
hours hygiene flush it is possible to enable and disable it .
To activate the hygiene flush, press the clock button. Wait until a
quick flashing of the red light of the sensor eye is perceived. Then
press + to activate the hygiene flush or – to deactivate it.

sETTINGs ADjusTMENT
LOCK OUT TIME: It is possible to program a lock out time in Caroma
products upon request. This lock out time allows a user to activate
the mixer or tap, only after a specific amount of time has passed.
If a specific lock out time was preset in a Caroma product as
default, and you would like to deactivate it, press the lock button.
Wait until a quick flashing of the red light of the sensor eye is
perceived. Then press + to activate the lock out time or – to
deactivate it.
To activate it again, press the lock button and without releasing it,
press the + button once.
TEMPORARY OFF FUNCTION: This function is ideal to perform any
kind of activity in front of the sensor without operating the system
(for example, cleaning).
Mixer or tap will remain shut for 1 minute when this button is
pressed once. To cancel this function and to return to normal
operation press the On/Off button again or wait 1 or 2 minutes
depending on the product.
RESET BUTTON: This function allows the sensor to return to the
original factory preset settings.
If required, press the Reset button and without releasing it, press
the + button once.

sETTINGs ADjusTMENT
Adjusting the sensor range without a remote control:
1. Disconnect the power supply, battery or transformer, from the sensor.
2. Activate the sensor three or four times.
3. Reconnect the power supply to the sensor.
4. To enter into the adjusting mode, put your hand in front of the sensor at a
distance of 2”(5cm) to 4”(10cm) within 5 seconds after the reconnection of the
power supply.
Note: If you will not put your hand in front of the sensor after connecting the
power supply, the sensor will not enter into adjusting mode and the previous
setting will return.
5. When the sensor enters into the adjusting mode and your hand is in front of
the sensor, a slow flashing of the red light at the front of the sensor will occur.
6. Keep your hand at the front of the sensor until the slow flashing changes into
quick flashing. At this
point, move your hand
to the required distance
from the sensor and
wait until the red light
will stop flashing.
7. When the red light
has turned off, the
sensor has been
adjusted to the required
distance.
8. Check the distance
you have set and if it is
not satisfactory, repeat
steps 1-6.

Filter cleaning instructions
This mixer or tap is provided with one / two stainless steel filter washer(s)
preventing foreign particles from entering the lines. If the water flow has
decreased, this can be because the filter washer(s) is/are clogged. The filter
washer(s) can be cleaned as follows:
1. Shut-off the water isolating stop taps.
2. Disconnect the flexible tail(s).
3. Remove the filter washer(s) and wash it/them under running water.
4. Reassemble the parts.
5. Make sure that there is no water leakage.
Care and cleaning of chrome and special finishes
DO NOT use steel wool or cleansing agents containing alcohol, acid, abrasives, or
the like. Use of any prohibited cleaning or maintenance products or substances
could damage the surface of the mixer or tap. For surface cleaning of mixer or
tap use ONLY soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel. When
cleaning bathroom tile, the mixer or tap should be protected from any splattering
of harsh cleansers.

that the check valve prevents from
dropping, even after water supply
pressure drops under 800kPa.
