Pre-installation Information
Warning
Do not install the tap facing a mirror or any other electronic system operated by an infra red
sensor.
This tap is also vulnerable to stray sensor readings from users wearing high visibility or other
reflective clothing.
To prevent reflection problems, it is recommended to keep a minimum distance of 1.5m
between the tap and other objects.
Preparation for installation
Flush the water supply pipes thoroughly prior to installation. Do not allow debris, PTFE tape or
any metal particles to enter the tap.
Do not expose to temperatures below 5˚C, for example during winter. If the tap will be
exposed to freezing conditions the tap and system should be drained.
Important: All plumbing is to be installed in accordance with applicable codes and
regulations.

Installation
1. A service valve should be installed in the water supply pipe to the valve should
maintenance be required in the future.
2. Turn off the water supply using the service valve (not supplied).
3. Screw the two threaded rods (5) and copper tail (6) into the base of the tap.
4. Install the tap (1) to the basin using sealing and metal (2 & 3) horse shoe washers and the
securing nut (4).
5. Connect the copper tail (6) to the solenoid valve (5) using the gasket (9). Ensure the flow
through the solenoid valve will be in the correct direction with flow to the tap, as marked
on the solenoid valve.
6. Connect the solenoid to the water supply using the filter washer (8). Failure to fit the filter
washer can damage the solenoid valve and invalidate the product warrantee.
6. Fix the power supply unit to the wall using the wall plugs and screws provided.
7. Connect the signal cable to the tap by assembling connector (10).
8. Turn on the water supply and check all joints for leakage.
9. Isolate via the service ball valve and tighten or remake joints if leakage occurs.
Connecting the power supply
1. Check that the sensor window is clean and that there are no obstructions in front of the
window.
2. Insert batteries into the battery box or connect the transformer to electricity supply.
3. Connect the power supply to the tap by assembling connector (11).
4. The LED under the sensor window will start flashing, when it stops the tap is ready for use.
IMPORTANT:
This product must be installed by a suitably qualified and competent person carrying the
relevant current IEE electrical qualification.
Sensor Range
The sensing range of the tap is preset and should not require adjustment.
If however the range needs to be adjusted it can be, using the following procedure;
• Unplug the power connector (10) or in the case of the transformer turn off the power
supply.
• Wait for 30 seconds before re-connecting or turning on the power supply.
• When the red LED blinks (if it switches off, it is necessary to unplug the power connector or
turn off the power supply and repeat the operation), put one hand immediately in front of
the sensor (at a maximum distance of 5cm).
• When the red LED lights up permanently, move your hand to the desired sensor distance.
• Wait for the LED to turn off before moving your hand; at this point the new distance is
stored.
• The new setting will be stored in case of battery replacement or failure of the electrical
supply.

Prevention of Flooding
To prevent flooding the wash room following an act of vandalism or carelessness - an object left
in front of the sensor or dirty sensor, the tap has a safety device that shuts off the water flow
after approximately 1 minute.
Once the object has been removed or the sensor cleaned, the tap will start working again.
The model with the transformer unit has an automatic shut off which turns off the water
supply until the power supply is re-established.
Aftercare
• Inta taps have a high quality finish and should be treated with care.
• An occasional wipe with a mild washing-up liquid on a soft damp cloth followed by a
thorough rinsing is all that is required.
• Do not use an abrasive or chemical household cleaner as this may cause damage.
• Cleaning the sensor - the darkened window which protects the sensor must always be clean
in order for the tap to operate correctly; do not use abrasive material to avoid damaging
the plastic surface.
• Cleaning the water supply filter (8) - water can contain impurities which could damage the
solenoid valve. For this reason the inlet to solenoid valve has a gasket with an integral filter
which must be kept clean in order to ensure a suitable water flow.
CAUTION: turn off the water supply using the service valve before unscrewing
the joint to remove the filter gasket for cleaning.
Battery Replacement - IR500CP
When the batteries are exhausted, the LED blinks continuously and the solenoid valve stops in
the closed position, replace the batteries and recycle the used batteries correctly.
