Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of property damage: Do not use lithium
ion batteries with this product. Exposing lithium ion batteries
to water can result in a fire.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. If the toilet is plugged, turn off
the water supply before attempting to unplug it. The sensor can be
inadvertently activated while unplugging the toilet, resulting in an
overflow.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Use of in-tank toilet cleaners
will damage this product. In-tank cleaners emit gases which will
damage the seals and corrode the interior components. Damage due
to use of in-tank cleaners voids the warranty.

4. Check Operation
Turn the water supply back on. Allow the tank to fill.
Check for leaks.
Flush the toilet repeatedly using the module.
Observe the canister.
Does the canister fully close when the flush is complete? If not,
adjust the bracket location.
Observe the movement of the wheel.
Does the wheel come in contact with anything when rotating?
Adjust the bracket location as needed.

5. Complete the Installation
IMPORTANT! Wait at least 10 seconds after the last test flush
before installing the tank lid. Hold your hand over the sensor for 1-2
seconds after installing the lid to confirm proper operation.
NOTE: If you are unable to activate the sensor immediately after
installing the tank lid, wait a minimum of 5 minutes for the sensor
to calibrate.
For tank lid stability, install four pads, two on the front (not
shown) and two on the back, near each corner of the tank lid or
tank rim where the lid contacts the tank rim. The pads stabilize
the lid, helping stop false flushes when the lid is bumped.
Install the tank lid.
Hold your hand approximately 1″(25 mm) above the module.
The toilet will flush.
Consult the troubleshooting chart for operation or performance
issues.

Avant de commencer
ATTENTION: Risque de dommages matériels: Ne pas
utiliser de piles aux ions de lithium avec ce produit.
L’exposition de piles aux ions de lithium à l’eau peut
entraîner un incendie.
AVIS: Risque de dommages matériels. Si la toilette est bouchée,
couper l’arrivée d’eau avant d’essayer de la déboucher. Le capteur
peut être activé par accident pendant que l’on débouche la toilette,
ce qui entraîne un débordement.
AVIS: Risque d’endommagement du produit. L’utilisation de
nettoyants de toilette dans le réservoir endommage ce produit. Les
nettoyants dans le réservoir émettent des gaz qui endommagent les
joints et corrodent les composants intérieurs. Les endommagements
dûs aux nettoyants à l’intérieur du réservoir annulent la garantie.
