REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS (OPTIONAL)
ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL
If necessary, the sensor settings can be adjusted as following: Shut o 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 (
cm). Choose the function you want to adjust by pressing once on one of the function buttons. Aer pressing once
on a specic function button, a quick flashing of the LED 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. Aer
nishing the adjustment, turn the water supply back on.

SETTINGS ADJUSTMENT
DETECTION RANGE: This outlet was supplied with a self adjusting sensor. The ideal detection range
for the specic location will be set automatically.
Only if necessary, use the remote control to adjust the sensor range as follows: Press the RANGE
button. Wait until a quick flashing of the LED in the sensor eye is perceived. Then, press + to
increase the range and – to reduce it. Every push will increase or decrease one level.
Note: Once you have changed the detection range with the remote control, the distance will be remembered
by the sensor, even if the power source is disconnected. To get back to the self adjustment mode, use the ADJ
button only.
Entrance to the self adjustment mode: Check that no objects are in front of the sensor. Press the
ADJ button. Once a quick flashing of the LED of the sensor eye is perceived, remove your hand
holding the remote control and move away from the sensor area. The ideal sensor range for the
specic location will be set automatically. Once the self adjustment has taken place, the solenoid
valve will be opened and closed for 1 second as an indication that the ideal sensor range was set
and the product is ready for use.
SECURITY TIME: The Security time, prevents continuous running 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 LED in 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 also be modied in outlets as follows: Press the IN button.
Wait until a quick flashing of the LED in the sensor eye is perceived. Then, press + to increase the
delay in time and – to reduce it.

SETTINGS ADJUSTMENT
DELAY OUT TIME: This button allows modifying the water flow time aer the user removes his hands
from the outlet. 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 modied as follows:
Press the OUT button. Wait until a quick flashing of the LED in the sensor eye is perceived. Then,
press + to increase the delay out time and – to reduce it.
 HOUR HYGIENE FLUSH: This model includes a 24 hours hygiene flush which is disabled. To activate
the hygiene flush, press the clock button. Wait until a quick flashing of the LED in the sensor eye is
perceived. Then press + to activate the hygiene flush. To disable it again, press – to deactivate it.
COMFORT FLUSH: If your model includes a Comfort flush setting, it can be activated by pressing the
flush button. When the button is pressed, one blink of the LED in the sensor eye is perceived. The
pre-programmed flush cycle will take place then.
The Comfort flush cannot be interrupted or deactivated by pressing any button until it is over.
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).
The outlet 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/O button again or wait 1 minute.
RESET BUTTON: This function restores all the factory settings except for the sensor range. If required,
press the Reset button and without releasing it, press the + button once.

OBJECT
Aer you have replaced the battery, move away from
the sensor range. Wait  seconds in order to allow
the system to set the ideal sensor range. Then aer
the self adjustment has taken place the solenoid
valve will be opened and closed for  second as an
indication that the ideal sensor range was set and
the product is ready for use.
Check that there are no objects in front of the sensor
aer the battery replacement was completed.
Carefully open the dual power input box, using the Allen key provided. Remove the old battery and replace
it with a new V battery (Lithium battery is recommended). Close the box.
IMPORTANT: These models were supplied with a self adjusting sensor.
The ideal sensor range for the specic location will be set automatically again aer changing the battery.

MAINTENANCE
If system chemical disinfection is practiced, chlorine can be used (calculated chlorine
concentration of mg/l maximum in water per one hour dwell time) at service interval
frequency.
FILTER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
These models are provided with a stainless steel lter preventing foreign particles to enter the lines. It is
recommended to clean the lter every six (6) month. If the water flow has decreased, this may be because the
lter is clogged. The lter can be cleaned as follows:
. a. Shut-o the water shut o valve.
b. Disconnect the water supply pipe from the adaptor and disassemble the lter.
c. Wash the lter under running water.
d. Reassemble the parts.
e. Restore the incoming water supply and make sure that there is no water leakage.
SOLENOID VALVE SERVICING
The solenoid valve diaphragm requires periodical cleaning every six (6) month.
Remove the diaphragm from the solenoid valve and examine it for dirt. in case it is dirty or clogged, wash it under
running water and reassemble it.
Do not attempt to dismantle the solenoid valve if you are unfamiliar with electronic solenoid valves.
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 outlet. For surface cleaning of
outlet us ONLY soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel. When cleaning bathroom tile, the outlets
should be protected from any splattering of harsh cleansers.
