Step 3 – Connecting the Water Source
1. a. DB100, DB125, DB200, DB225, DBL200, DBL225: connect the flexible pipe to
the water supply
b. DB150, DB175, DB250, DB275, DBL250, DBL275: connect the red flexible
pipe to the hot water supply and the blue flexible pipe to the cold water supply.
2. Make sure the filter(s) are installed between the flexible pipe and the shut off
valve (not supplied).
3. Turn on the central
water supply and the
shut off valve.
4. Check for leaks.
Step 4 Connecting the
Power Source
1.
a. DB100, DB150, DB200,
DB250, DBL200, DBL250: connect the power source, Install the battery’s box at
the wall under the sink using the two sided adhesive foam tape.The cable
connection must point down. (You can use an optional extension cable in order
to assemble the battery box up to ten feet from the sink. See “Spare parts list”).
b. DB125, DB175, DB225, DB275, DBL225, DBL275: plug the transformer into the
electrical socket and
connect the connectors.
2. Important: Wait a few
seconds before
activating the tap to
avoid entering into
‘adjustment mode’.

Adjusting the sensor with the remote control
This tap was supplied with a Self Adjusting Sensor.The ideal detection range for
the specific location will be set automatically.
DETECTION RANGE: Only if necessary, use the remote control
to adjust the sensor range as follows: Shut off the water supply.
Hold the remote control straight in front of the sensor in a distance of
about 6 - 8” (15 - 20cm). Choose the function RANGE by pressing once at the
range function button. After pressing this function button, a quick flashing of the red
light at the front of the sensor will occur. At this stage, you can increase or decrease
the sensor range by pressing the (+) or the (-) buttons, every push will increase or
decrease one level.
Note: Once you have changed the detection range with the remote control, this
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.
Adjusting other settings with the remote control
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 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 also be modified in taps 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.
RANGE ADJUSTMENT

DB100, DB200 & DBL200 Ranges | Dolphin Blue | 11
DELAY OUT TIME: This button allows modifying the water flow time
after the user removes his hands from the tap.A delay out time close to
0 will save more water. An increased delay out time will make the user
experience more comfortable. The factory setting for delay out time is
1 second. 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.
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 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 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.
Note:To enter the self adjusting mode, use the ADJ button.To change the sensor
range, use the RANGE button.
