OPTIMA PLUS M.G. – Rev. 2 (09/03) Code No. 0816193
The Sloan Valve Company introduced its OPTIMA Plus Battery Operated
Sensor Flushometer in 1992 revolutionizing the flushing of water closets
and urinals. In both new construction and retrofit applications the use of the
OPTIMA Plus has become the standard method for many facilities to
improve restroom hygiene and ensure handicap accessibility compliance.
In May, 2003 Sloan introduced the G2®OPTIMA Plus.
The G2 OPTIMA Plus builds on the success of the original product and
offers many technological advancements to further improve on
performance and reliability expected of sensor operated plumbing. In
addition to a new aesthetic design, the G2 OPTIMA Plus features a new
state-of-the-art electronic and optical package and a unique Solenoid
Operator that keeps the moving components of the Solenoid completely
isolated from the water supply. This ensures long life and low maintenance
regardless of local water conditions.
The G2 OPTIMA Plus replaces the original OPTIMA Plus product, which
was phased out of production in mid 2003. Regal Pro OPTIMA Plus Valves
produced after May, 2003 include G2 Interior Components with the old
style OPTIMA Plus Cover.
Many of the new technologies developed for the G2 have been integrated
into the repair parts available for the older OPTIMA Plus product. This
Maintenance & Repair Guide reflects these new components and includes
crossover information for the old components.
Use this Maintenance & Repair Guide for OPTIMA Plus Valves produced
from 1992 - 2003 and Regal Pro Optima Plus Valves produced after
May, 2003 only.
For the G2 OPTIMA Plus, use Maintenance & Repair Guide #0816456.

Email: productsuppor[email protected]
The Sloan OPTIMA Plus automatic battery powered Flushometer relies on
an infrared sensor to detect a user and activate a flushing cycle. No
physical contact with the Flushometer surface is necessary, assuring
sanitary protection. OPTIMA Plus Flushometers are ADA compliant devices
and are available in both Royal®and Regal®Flushometer models.
The Flushometer is triggered by means of an active infrared Sensor. The
OPTIMA Plus Sensor emits a continuous invisible light beam. When a user
enters the beam’s effective range, the beam is reflected into the OPTIMA
Plus Scanner Window. The user is now detected. After the user moves out
of the effective range of the Sensor, a signal is sent to the Flushometer
Solenoid and, after appropriate arming and/or flush delays, the flush cycle
is initiated.

DIAPHRAGM INSIDE PARTS KITS
FLEX TUBE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY
In early 2003 Sloan introduced the Flex Tube Diaphragm kit into the OPTIMA
Plus. This design completely replaced the old OPTIMA Plus Diaphragm Kit
that featured the metal shaft with the Quad Ring. This change further
improved the reliability of the OPTIMA Plus as it replaced a wearable
dynamic seal (the Quad Ring) with a non-moving static O-ring seal.
The Flex Tube Diaphragm Kit also features Sloan's exclusive Dual Filter
Diaphragm. The Dual Filter Diaphragm helps to protect the valve from water
bourn sediment that can cause the valve to stick open and run on. The Dual
Filter diaphragm is also made from Sloan's Permex Synthetic Rubber
material for resistance against chloramines and other water treatment
chemicals.

REGULATORS
The flush volume of the Flex Tube
Diaphragm Kit is control by the
Regulator. Regulators are identified
by color. Some Flex Tube Diaphragm
Kits are supplied with multiple
Regulators. The installer must make
sure the proper regulator is used
when installing the Flex Tube
Diaphragm Kit.

The EBV-1020-A and EBV-1022-A Kits are supplied with multiple Flush Volume Regulators. The
Installer must use the correct Regulator when installing the kit.
ADJUSTING THE OLD STYLE INSIDE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY
The Inside Diaphragm Assembly was set at the factory to ensure an
accurate flush cycle over a range of water pressures.
If adjustment is required, remove the Inside Diaphragm Assembly and turn
it upside down. Inside the Assembly Guide is an Adjustment Screw. Insert
a slotted screwdriver and turn the Adjustment Screw according to the
Conversion Guidelines.
Turning the Adjustment Screw
clockwise DECREASES the flush
volume.
Turning the Adjustment Screw
counterclockwise INCREASES
the flush volume.

When OPTIMA Plus has approximately 4,000 flushes left, the same red
light that appears at start-up will flash four (4) times quickly whenever an
object is detected. When this occurs, we recommend changing the
batteries.
Separate Locking Ring, Cover and Flex Tube Diaphragm from Electronic

CARE AND CLEANING OF CHROME AND SPECIAL FINISHES
DO NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean Flushometers as they
may dull the luster and attack the chrome or special decorative finishes.
Use ONLY soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel.
While cleaning the bathroom tile, the Flushometer should be protected from
any splattering of cleaner. Acids and cleaning fluids can discolor or remove
chrome plating.
Refer to the OPTIMA Plus Flushometer Maintenance Guide for additional
Troubleshooting and Repair Part information.
