Before installing this product – Pegler recommend the reading of this
document thoroughly and leaving it with the user for future reference.
Introduction
The PERFORMA self closing electronic products utilise an infra red proximity sensor which
detects movement in front of the sensor eye. This opens the solenoid valve (via the control
module to provide a flow of water for hand washing or shower – whatever the terminal
fitting is. When no further movement is detected the sensor sends a signal to the module
and solenoid valve is closed immediately. The sensor only detects movement which means
it cannot be deliberately blocked (for example chewing gum) to allow the water to flow
continuously thus preventing intentional flooding and wastage of water.
The outlet does not need to be touched physically in order to operate it. This enforces
improved hygiene levels while reducing the risk of cross contamination.
Operation is simple, just place hands in front of the outlet sensor (each unit range can be
set individually for on-site requirements). Once movement is detected within its range, the
flow of water will commence. When water usage is finished, move away and the flow of
water will cease.
Please Note: All Pegler Yorkshire electronic products are suitable for many types of
applications but are also sensitive to high visibility jackets. Therefore areas where high
visibility jackets are used can experience false high levels of sensor feedback.
The total fitting comprises of a number of differing elements that need to be installed.
1. Terminal fitting (either spout, shower or similar)
2. Sensor Eye (in many cases this is integral with the terminal fitting)
3. The control module with integrated transformer
4. Solenoid Valve
The features of all Pegler Yorkshire’s PERFORMA self closing electronic products make
them suitable for many applications where frequent usage is experienced and where water
and energy saving, hygiene and ease of use are key requirements for installation.
All PERFORMA self closing electronic products have been designed to give you many years
of trouble free service, but should you have any problems or technical queries with either of
these products please telephone [phone], or fax us on 01302 560537

Water Regulations Requirements
It is important to ensure that the water supplies to your PERFORMA self closing electronic
products are connected in accordance with the water regulations (WRAS) requirements and
good plumbing practice.
These products have been designed to function on all types of water systems and from as
little as 0.2 bar operation.
Please Note: If a pump is to be installed to boost gravity supplies please refer to the pump
manufacture’s instructions.

Fuses – Primary 63mA quick blow
Conforms to LVD EMC directives
Transformer conforms to standard EN 60742
Mounting distance from spout should be within 1 meter.
Cable requirement – Primary to current IEE Regulations
Operating temperature of control module/transformer
10 to 50 degrees C
Power rating max 2.5 watts
Power supply to be via a connection unit fused at 3A fixed spur.
Please Note: All electrical installations must comply with current IEE, ROSH regulations
and be undertaken by a qualified person.
Please Note: A double pole switched fused spur fitted with a 3Amp fuse and with a
minimum contact separation of 3mm MUST be used to supply the device with 230 Volt AC
power. The point of connection to the mains should be readily assessable and adjacent to
the device.
Conditions for Normal Use

Please Note: a suitable hot water temperature control device should be installed to reduce
temperatures exceeding the above maximum hot water supply temperature. This can easily
be achieved by installing a group mixing valve upstream which can achieve a more suitable
and safer temperature. Please see the Pegler Yorkshire approved Prestex 410 Group Mixing
Valve 22mm size – product code 5A1060 or Prestex 402H 22mm/15mm size – product code
5A1002 as two examples.
Please Note: Ensure that the flow rate through any mixing valve used is sufficient to supply
enough water to each terminal fitting.
Pipe Connections
IMPORTANT. Before making any inlet pipe connections all supplies MUST be thoroughly
flushed to remove any debris. Failure to do so could result in damage or low flow from
the valves. It is a requirement of Byelaw 55 of the Water Fittings Byelaw Scheme that this
function is undertaken before making any pipe connections to supplies. It is also Pegler
Yorkshire’s recommendation and good plumbing practice that a service valve (Pegler
PB300) should be installed upstream in the inlet supply lines, and the appropriate filters
(supplied in most cases) are installed inline before the terminal fitting.
Please Note: Where filters are supplied with the products, it is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that they are fitted upstream. Failure to do so will void warranty
To reduce pressure to a more optimum level we also recommend the use of a Pegler
Pressure Reducing Valve. For use on pressures between 1.1/2 bar to 5.1/2 bar - product
code 5A2001 for ½” pipe or 5A2002 for ¾” pipe.

Installation
The solenoid valve MUST be fitted with the filter supplied at the inlet of the valve. To prevent
the solenoid becoming restricted by debris all pipework MUST be thoroughly flushed prior
to installation.
It is recommended that a service valve (Pegler 15mm 808 (523008)) is fitted in close proximity
to the inlet of the solenoid valve to allow isolation of the water supply to the fitting should
maintenance become necessary.
It is imperative that the connections from the sensor are correctly wired into the control
module (in accordance with the wiring instructions included in this leaflet) failure to do so
will result in extensive damage to the electrical components. The cable from the sensor unit
must never be extended. The control unit module must be situated within 1 meter of the
outlet (either underneath the basin in a dry area or behind a duct wall) and should always be
accessible for service and maintenance.
The screw packs provided with the control module MUST be used to fix the control module
lid of the unit in order for the control module to be watertight and meet the IP rating of
IP56.
Round cable from the fuse switch (primary) to the control module should be used in order to
ensure a seal at the stuffing glands.
Installation of Basin Pillar Tap 885-2
Please Note: The 885-2 is a single tap for use on hot / cold or mixed water. (For mixed
water please ensure appropriate TMV is fitted to support a safe delivery of water)
1. Determine the position of the basin tap allowing sufficient space around the tap for
it to be used without hindrance or harm to the user.
2. Fit tap through hole in ware/worktop and ensuring ‘O’ ring sealing washer is
between base of tap and surface. Ensure the sensor cable and inlet tube to the tap
are positioned through the hole in the ware. Tighten backnut below ware (Note a
suitable hole/slot must be made to accommodate the rotational pin) See template
on back page. Or alternatively remove the pin from the base of the tap. Grips
and a sharp pull should remove this.
3. Route supply pipework to point where solenoid valve is being fitted, then flush
pipework thoroughly.
4. Fit solenoid valve to supply line ensuring that in-line filter is fitted in the correct
orientation on the inlet to the solenoid valve. Use correct seals and coupling nuts
supplied. Ensure that the position of the solenoid valve is within distance of the
plastic inlet tube and connecting piece.
Please Note: The plastic inlet tube is assembled to the connecting piece by push fit
connections. It should be noted that surplus tube experienced depending on the solenoid /
control module location, but Pegler Yorkshire advise that this tube has been cut to exacting
requirements. And should therefore not be cut down / shortened due to the precise nature
of the cut finish required.
Please Note: Removal of the connecting piece on the end the plastic inlet tube may be
required to be removed for inserting through holes in ware if so remove by pressing the
black release collar around the push-fit and pull out hose.

Please Note: DO NOT solder near the solenoid valve as excessive heat will damage
seals and internals of valve. Any necessary soldering should be done prior to installation of
solenoid valve. Failure to do so will void warranty.
5. The solenoid valve is marked with arrows, please ensure direction of flow is adhered
to or valve will not operate.
6. Screw inlet tube and connecting piece onto solenoid valve.
Please Note: 1) The inlet tube should not be bent sharply as this will cause it to
kink and restrict water flow.
2) Do not attempt to pull inlet hose from inside the tap body as this
will cause internal damage and leaking.
7. Decide on control module position. See template on back page.

Features
The PERFORMA self closing electronic products have three distinct features each operational
by the dip switched mounted within the control module. (See diagram for location)

Dip Switch #1 activates the ‘autoflush’ feature.
By switching this on activates a countdown timer within the unit to flush every 8 hours. This
feature ensures during long periods of the product not being used that the unit will switch
itself on flushing through any stagnant water within the product out of the system. Set at a
fixed 30 seconds flushing time the product counts down from last time of use. If used within
the 8 hour countdown period it simply resets itself. By default this item is off at the point of
purchase.
Dip Switch #2 activates the ‘test’ feature.
By default this item is off and should only be switched on at the point of troubleshooting
or fault finding. Switching to the on position tests the sensor and sensitivity of the unit.
See troubleshooting section for detail.
Dip Switch #3 activates the ‘shower’ feature.
The default once more is in the off position. But when used with shower outlet this needs to
be switched on. This feature allows to the sensor to check near and far distances, ensuring
that when in a shower cubicle the person is consistently being monitored, thus making sure
that the shower is persistently running when expected to do so.
Please Note: When used in a showering application and therefore the dip switch #3 is
turned on for the ‘near and far’ feature, at the point of first switching on the shower the
sensor needs to be activated in the ‘near’ position. Wave hand close to the sensor for it to
be switched on.
Electrical Connection
Please Note: It is recommended that each control module is connected to the mains by a
fused switch spur rated at 3 amps. All electrical installations must comply with current IEE
regulations and be undertaken by a qualified person.
1. Remove the box lid from the control module.
2. Site the control module to a maximum 1 meter from the terminal fitting. Use the
length of the sensor cable for guidance.
3. The control unit should be mounted in a dry area underneath the basin or behind a
wall duct.
4. Mark wall surface through the two screw holes in the control module base.
See template on back page.
5. Remove, then drill and plug holes. Fix module to wall with screws provided.
6. The control box should be mounted with the stuffing glands facing downwards
towards the floor to reduce the risk of water or condensation running down the
cable and into the module.
7. Remove stuffing glands and nuts.
8. Removal terminal wiring block by lifting outwards.
9. Place gland nuts and glands on cables and pass cables through stuffing glands
into the control module.

Sensitivity
To adjust the detection field, remove the control module box lid and adjust by turning
the potentiometer with a small flat ended screwdriver. Turning clockwise will increase
the distance, while anticlockwise will reduce. Shower sensitivity should be set to no
greater than 300mm and tap application to approximately 100mm. The screw will turn to
a maximum 225 degrees rotation. DO NOT FORCE THE SCREW FURTHER.
Sensitivity will also be factory set at approximately 100mm.
Time Adjustment
The duration of time the solenoid is open (thus flow) can be set between 5 and 15
seconds (factory set time is 10 seconds) Turning clockwise will increase the distance,
while anticlockwise will reduce. The screw will turn to a maximum 225 degrees rotation.
DO NOT FORCE THE SCREW FURTHER.
