Enware Touch-Free Wall Sensor Tap is a sensor operated, hands-free tap that is installed onto walls
above sinks, basins or wash troughs. It operates by sensing a hand in front of the sensor unit. Once
the sensor is acvated, the valve will remain open and water will ow unl the hand is again placed
in front of the sensor, closing the solenoid valve. It is not necessary for the hand to remain in the
beam for the unit to keep the valve open.
If the solenoid valve remains open for more that 45 seconds, the unit will me-out and close the
valve automacally. This is intended to conserve water and prevent overows.
COMPONENTS
The wall sensor tap kit comes standard with a
xed aerated spout, a 1/2” solenoid valve, a
sensor panel, a sensor bracket, and a 24 volt
transformer. Other spout opons are available
from the Enware range. Choose the LO (less
outlet) opon if no spout is required, or if a
dierent spout is to be specied.

before proceeding with installation
EASE OF OPERATION
DO NOT POSITION THE SENSOR DIRECTLY
BELOW THE SPOUT. This is to avoid triggering
the sensor and turning o while washing hands.
Ideally the sensor is posioned above and to the
right of the water outlet.
WATER SPLASH / WATER DRIPS
If placing the sensor plate below spout height,
be aware the water is more likely to splash onto
sensor, and extra care must be taken to create a
water-ght seal upon installaon of the sensor.
Also consider the path of the water drips from
a wet hand turning o the sensor. The sensor
should not be so far away that water drips
outside of basin or sink and onto the oor.
OBSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that nothing is within range of the
sensor. Any obstrucon directly in front of, and
within possible range of, the sensor can trigger
the sensor randomly or constantly turn it on.
PASSING TRAFFIC
Be sure that passing trac cannot trigger the
sensor. Allow at least 400mm clearance between
sensor and passing trac.
REFLECTIONS AND LIGHTING
If the sensor unit is installed into a locaon
where a nearby wall or object is reecng the
Infrared light back, the unit is eecvely blinded
and will not operate. Up to 1.5 metre clearance
may be necessary from reecve surfaces, such
as ceramic les and stainless steel, directly in
front of, and parallel to, the front face of the
sensor. Any bright lighng reecng o a highly
reecve surface such as a stainless steel sink, or
a high visibility reecve vest, may also interfere
with correct sensor operaon.
Do not install sensor directly in front of a mirror.
LOCATION OF SENSOR
When selecng a locaon to install the wall-mounted sensor, consider the following:
Adjacent to the right (recommended),
adjacent to the le or above spout

ACCESS TO SENSOR TAP COMPONENTS
Ensure that access to the sensor, solenoid
valve, transformer/ 240 V power point, and
cabling is available for future maintenance
when planning or installing assemblies.
• The solenoid valve and power point/
transformer is generally located either in the
wall or in the ceiling space but they must be
easily accessible for servicing purposes. This
may be through an access panel on the wall
or the ceiling.
• The cable should be located inside the wall
cavity to connect to the power pack lead.
All wiring, cables, or leads must be installed
in such a way that they can be easily
removed and replaced if necessary. It is
recommended that all cabling is fed through
20mm conduit to allow for servicing and
replacement in future.

ongoing problem.
• A pressure reducon valve may be required
to comply with the recommended maximum
supply pressure and/or balanced pressure
requirements.
• Isolaon valve and mesh strainer should
be ed before the solenoid, for ease
of servicing and trouble-free solenoid

POWER PACK AND CABLES
It is recommended that all cabling is fed through
20mm conduit to make servicing and replacement
easier. The solenoid valve and power point/
transformer are generally located either in the wall
space or in the ceiling but must be easily accessible
for servicing. This may be through an access panel on
the wall or the ceiling.
The transformer has a 4.5 metre lead to the sensor and
the solenoid cable has a 3 metre lead from the sensor
to the solenoid. Addional lead lengths up to 15 metres
can be accommodated with extension cables (available
separately from Enware). SEE IMAGE 06
Plug the 24V DC transformer into the 240V AC power
point.
Connect Transformer Cable to Sensor Connector
Cable.
Connect Solenoid Cable to Sensor Connector Cable.
Connect spade connectors to two boom terminals
on solenoid. Do not connect to earth terminal on top.

service & maintenance
SOLENOID MAINTENANCE
For long periods of non-use, a minimum acvaon of 1-2
mes per day is recommended.
High frequency of use and high water supply pressures
reduce the service life of a solenoid.
If the solenoid is not working correctly or is leaking, go
through the following steps to service the solenoid. The
most common cause of solenoid malfuncon is debris
geng caught inside, in which case the solenoid needs
to be dismantled and cleaned. Service kits including
replacement diaphragms are available.

1. Turn water supply o and acvate the sensor to drain
water from the line. Turn power o to the sensor.
2. In most cases it is easier to remove the complete
solenoid valve from the installaon to service it. Remove
the electrical connectors from the solenoid terminals,
undo the water connecons on both the water inlet and
outlet of the solenoid, and remove the solenoid.
3. The solenoid can be disassembled and checked
for debris or damage to the diaphragm. Refer to
“Servicing the Solenoid” instrucons below. Take note
of the locaon of the components so that it can be
reassembled later in the correct order.
4. Service or replace the solenoid and re-install into the
line. Push the cable connectors back onto the solenoid
terminals.
5. Turn power and water back on and test the tap.

the core tube. Use the correct size tool and take care
not to round the screws heads. Keeping in mind that the

5. Note the small hole in the rubber diaphragm. It is important
that this hole is clear and not obstructed by debris. Clean the
diaphragm by rinsing with water. 
6. Replace any component that is damaged.
(Service Kit code 892028)
7. To reassemble, rstly place the rubber diaphragm in correct
posion. The hole in the diaphragm should be assembled
either at 2 O’clock or 4 O’clock posion, when the direcon
of ow is going from le to right, as shown below. The arrow
is indicated on the solenoid body. 
Note: Do not apply grease to internal components of solenoid.
Grease can deteriorate over me and cause the solenoid to
malfuncon.
8. Reassemble the plunger with spring into the core tube. Check
that the spring is reassembled back together inside the core
tube, and no foreign material is in the core tube to restrict
the plunger movement.
9. Once this is done, place the core tube back on top of the
valve and ghten back up with the 4 Torx screws.
10. Once the core tube is ghtened, place the plasc cover
which goes over the core tube. This covers the screws. When
doing so, ensure the scker on the plasc has the same ow
direcon as the body.
11. Finally place the black coil body back over the core tube,
and ghten the hex nut back up.

The Sensor is a non-serviceable product. If damaged
the sensor must be replaced.
1. Turn power o at the power point.
2. Unscrew the xing screws from the panel.
The exisng siliconE seal may have to be cut
to free the sensor, do this carefully. All sealing
compounds such as silicon should be removed
from the wall surface.
3. Pull the sensor out from the mounng block
carefully and access the plug and socket
connecon. Unplug the line plug and socket
and leave the cable securely out of the conduit.
Replace the transformer or solenoid cable at this
me if necessary.
4. Connect the new sensor. Feed the cable back
into the conduit.
5. Apply a thin bead of silicon sealant on behind
the plate along the top and side edges, to seal
the unit to the wall.
6. Fix the sensor panel back onto the mounng
block using the exisng screws.

The Transformer is a non-serviceable product. If
damaged the transformer must be replaced.
1. Turn power o at power point and unplug the
transformer.
2. The transformer comes standard with 4.5 metres
of cable. This cable is connected to the sensor.
3. Take note of the installaon, rstly to determine
if addional cable extensions are required
(addional to the 4.5 metres) and secondly to
see if cable access is dicult or if the cable is
fed through a conduit. If the cable is in a conduit
then a lead or leads may be required to be ed
to the exisng cable before it is removed so the
new cable can be pulled back through.
4. Slowly pull the cable through to the sensor.
Remove the old transformer and cable.
5. Connect the new transformer cable to the sensor
connector cable. Re-install the sensor.
6. Plug the 24 V DC transformer into the power
point.
7. Turn on the power to the unit and test the unit.
