Description
Constructed from heavy duty DR brass with a polished chrome nish and an above bench solenoid for ease of
maintenance, the Formatta sensor tap is suitable for public washrooms, ofces, schools, shopping centres, stadiums,
airports & accessible installations. The sensor detects the presence of the user’s hand[s] in the eld directly in front of the
sensor in the water stream - this activates the ow of water until the hands are removed from the eld.

Installation Instructions
Installation must be carried out in accordance with local authority requirements.
1. Installation to be in accordance with the AS/NZ3500 series of Standards plus all local and statutory requirements.
For Australia, Installation shall be in accordance with the PCA [Plumbing Code of Australia and any relevant local
authority requirements.
2. Flush the line thoroughly and remove all dirt and grit from the line before connecting the tap
3. Install the taps as per: Figure 4 for RBA1211-600; Figure 5 for RBA1211-613
4. When Thermostatic Mixing Valves or Tempering Valves are installed to supply warm water to the inlet of the Formatta
Sensor Tap, if the heated water supply to these valves is from a Mains Pressure Water Heater, excess pressure on the
heated water supply line can occur during the Water Heater’s heating cycle which may be as high as 1400kPa subject
to the Pressure and Temperature Relief Valve tted to the Water Heater. Non return valves are tted to Thermostatic
Mixing Valves and Tempering Valves on both the heated and cold water inlets. As expansion occurs internal of the Water
Heater during the heating cycle, the heated water line may pressurise through either valve resulting in a pressure lock
occurring at the internal solenoid of the Formatta. This may result in the tap ceasing to operate as intended. Should this
occur, isolate the heated and cold water supply lines and disconnect the exible hose connection on the warm water
line to the tap to release the excessive pressure. Reinstate the exible hose connection, check for leaks and actuate
the tap to verify operation. Alternatively, the installation of a Pressure Reducing Valve on the warm water line supplying
the Formatta may prevent such a pressure lock occurring.
5. Before turning on the water, remove aerator and ush the tap
6. Replace aerator and check for leaks
7. Insert the appropriate coloured indicator into the hole at the tap base [typically blue for cold and yellow for warm water]
RBA1074-999-001 Details
The RBA1074-999-001 Angle Valve is a stop strainer that is supplied with the Formatta Sensor Tap. This must be installed
as part of the sensor tap installation as it prevents debris from entering the sensor and causing issues with diaphragm and
ow control. Failure to install will void warranty.
To clean the strainer or isolate the sensor tap, simply use the special key provided [see Figure 1] and turn the strainer
counter clock wise and remove. The angle valve contains a spring loaded stop that will automatically turn the water supply
off on removal. Clean strainer or isolate tap where required. Replace strainer to turn the water supply back on.
