Pre Installation:
1. Water conditions must meet Operation Requirements (bottom
right of page) before proceeding.
2. A pressure reduction valve may be required to comply with
recommended maximum supply pressure.
3. If your water pressure is outside the stated range please
contact Galvin Engineering.
4. Flush all supply lines to remove debris prior to the installation
of this product.
5. Fit line strainer (supplied) to protect the solenoid valve from
debris.
6. Access to the sensor, solenoid valve and transformer/GPO
should be maintained for future maintenance.
7. It is recommended that isolating valves be installed upstream
to the solenoid valve to allow for servicing.
8. 25 mm conduit should be used to house the leads so that
wiring may be able to be removed.
9. The unit is supplied with 3 metres of lead on the transformer
and 3 metres of lead from the solenoid. Lead lengths up to 5
metres may be accommodated (can be ordered separately).
10. Do not extend the existing leads on site without using the
correct lead extension as this will void any warranty.
11. Connect the supplied electrical interference suppressor to
each cable (1x transformer, 1x solenoid lead) as shown in
Figure 1.
12. Ensure they are as close to the sensor face as possible.
13. Consider ease of operation when selecting a location to install
the sensor.
14. The sensor may not work as intended if the sensor eye is
installed in a position where light can be directed or reected
directly into the sensor eye.
15. Most installation problems are due to damage to the unit
during installation or inappropriate installation location. Please
select the location carefully and take care with the installation
Operation Requirements

Power Supply 240V AC
The TZ-FLOWTAPC24 is a universal aesthetically pleasing, single temperature water control unit,
which can be used for hand basins, sinks, or any application to initiate a controlled flow of water
Figure 1
General Installation Requirements:
1. Suitable access for the service of all components must be
provided.
2. It is recommended that acoustic dampening products or
materials be used in facilities where increased levels of sound
protection is required.
3. A water hammer arrestor may also be required.
4. Please ensure that the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.1:
Plumbing and Drainage are adhered to.
5. The number of valves and simultaneous demand must be
considered when sizing pipes. If other xtures are connected
to the supply line, calculations of ow rates and pressures
must be undertaken to ensure adequate water supply.
6. Limit the number of changes of directions in pipe work. This
will result in less friction loss, better valve performance and
reduce potential water cavitation noise.
7. The use of isolating valves is recommended for servicing and
to assist in the control of ow and volume of water.
8. For personal installation assistance, please call our head ofce
on 1300 514 074 and speak to our customer service staff.

Installation:
Installation Site
1. Install sensor above and to the right of the water outlet.
2. Be sure that passing trafc cannot trigger the sensor. Allow
at least 400mm clearance.
3. Up to 600mm clearance may be necessary from reective
surfaces, such as ceramic tiles and stainless steel, directly
in front of and parallel to the front face of the sensor.
4. Be aware that nearby wall or objects may reect infrared
light back, which may blind the sensor.
Mounting the Sensor
1. The FLOWTAPC24 kit is supplied with a galvanised in wall
electrical box.
2. The stainless steel sensor should be mounted ush to the
wall over a 90mm x 60mm cut-out.
3. Apply a thin bead of silicon sealant to the inside of the plate
around the electronics module.
4. Screw the face plate in place.
Mounting the Solenoid Valve
1. Check that the planned ow direction through the valve is
correct.
2. Ensure that no Teon tape, copper swarf, sand or other
debris can enter and foul the solenoid valve.
3. Fit supplied line strainer upstream of the solenoid valve.
Failure to do so may void the warranty.
4. Connect solenoid, in a horizontal position, to the water
supply.
5. The outlet can be either wall mounted or hob mounted.
(Outlets (hob or wall) are not supplied standard with the kit
and must be ordered separately).
6. Important information: Solenoid valve must be activated 1-2
times a day if they are to be left in place for an extended
period of time.
7. The water supply should be provided via normal plumbing
practices, either cold or pre-mixed warm, using 2 cistern
taps, plumbed to the outlet spout. It is recommended that
a Thermostatic Mixing Valve or Tempering Valve be installed
(depending on site requirements).
8. The 24V AC transformer should be plugged into a standard
mains power point (GPO).
9. Connect the solenoid plug and transformer plug to the
rear of the sensor, observing the correct plug connection.
10. Turn on the GPO and test the unit.
11. Wave the back of your hand through the beam to turn the
water on and again to turn the water off.
12. The sensor will require adjustment (see next section).
13. It is recommended that sensitivity is set to MIN and
incrementally turned anti-clockwise (MAX), until the correct
sensitivity is reached.
Note that all electrical components should be protected from
contact with water and installed in accordance with local
regulations.
Operation and Adjustment:
1. The TZ-FLOWTAPC24 is activated by passing your hand
between 50 mm – 100 mm in front of the sensor face.
2. The water will continue to ow until either:
- Your hand passes in front of the sensor again or
- The chosen time frame has passed (default 10 sec).
Sensitivity
1. The TZ-FLOWTAPC24 has an adjustment dial for the
sensitivity of the sensor.
2. The sensor is factory set to MEDIUM and will need to be
adjusted to suit individual installations. Refer to Figure 2
Run Time
1. The run time is preset to 10 seconds, to increase turn the
runtime dial CLOCKWISE. To decrease turn the dial ANTI-
CLOCKWISE. Please refer to Figure 3.
Turn anti-clockwise to
increase sensitivity or
clockwise to decrease
sensitivity.
Turn clockwise to
increase run time or anti-
clockwise to decrease
run time.
Preset at 10 seconds

Maintenance Instructions:
Solenoid Valve – (Supplied with own instructions)
1. Turn the water supply off.
2. Activate the sensor to drain as much water from the installation
as possible.
3. Turn the power off at the GPO.
4. Remove the power plug from the solenoid.
5. It may be more convenient to remove the solenoid valve
completely from the installation to service it.
6. Remove the top nut and pull off the coil.
7. Remove O-ring and black valve cover.
8. Unscrew the 4 screws and carefully pull plunger assembly
from the valve body.
9. Separate the plunger tube from the diaphragm.
10. Be careful to retain all springs from inside the solenoid.
11. Wash the diaphragm in clean water and ensure the bleed hole
is clear of any debris.
12. Please take note of the location of the components and
reassemble in the correct order.
13. If the solenoid was removed from the line it may now be
replaced.
14. Push the power plug from the sensor back onto the solenoid.
15. It is recommended that the line strainer be serviced and
cleaned at this stage to ensure that dirt and grit isn’t restricting
the ow.
16. Turn power on and test the tap.
Sensor
The Electronic Sensor is a non-serviceable product. If damaged,
the sensor must be replaced.
1. Turn power off at GPO.
2. Unscrew the two xing screws. The silicon seal may have to
be cut with care.
3. Unplug the solenoid plug and transformer plug from the rear
of the sensor. Generally, if the sensor has been damaged by
an electrical surge, it is recommended that the transformer be
replaced at the same time.
4. Replace the sensor and reconnect the new sensor.
Plug the solenoid and transformer plugs back onto the rear
of the sensor. Fix the sensor panel back onto the galvanised
inwall box with the existing screws.
5. IMPORTANT: Seal the stainless steel face panel and screws
using silicon, ensuring it has a water tight seal.
Transformer
The Transformer is a non-serviceable product. If damaged the
transformer must be replaced.
1. Turn power off at GPO and unplug the transformer.
2. The transformer comes standard with 3 metres of cable.
3. Determine if cable access is dif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 tied to the existing cable before
it is removed so the new cable can be pulled back through.
4. Remove the transformer and cable.
5. With the new transformer in place feed the cable back to the
Control Module and plug in the appropriate plug connector.
6. Plug the transformer into the GPO point.
7. Turn on the power to the unit and test
