•3/8" drill bit (if installing toggle nut anchorsto mount control module)
INSTALLATION OF EBF-615 OR EBF-650 FAUCET
DO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERIES UNTIL THE FAUCET IS COMPLETELY
INSTALLED. If the batteries areinstalled before the sensor cable hasbeen
connected to the control module, the faucet will not properly set the
sensing range for the sink on which it has been installed.
TheSloanEBF-615andEBF-650batterypowered,sensoroperatedfaucetscan
besuppliedwithtwobackchecks.Whenconnectingthe faucetto a hot andcold
water supply, two back checks are required as shown in Figure 1. Water
temperature can be controlled by adjusting the supply stops. When connecting
the faucet to a single line water supply or a pre-tempered water supply, a back
check is not required.
Step 1 — Install Back Checks (Option) (Figure 1)
TheSloanBackCheckisdesignedfor
installation on a 3/8" Supply Stop. If
anexistingStopisused,theStopmay
require replacement or additional
fittings not supplied by Sloan for
connectionof theBackCheckstothe
hot and cold water supply lines.
Supply Stops should be furnished by
the installer.
After flushing the water supply lines
throughtheStops,useacompression
nut and compression sleeve to
connectinletendofBackChecktothe
Supply Stop. Tighten Securely.
Note: Failure to install the Back
Checks can result in a cross flow
connection when the faucet is in the
off position and the supply stops are
open.Ifthepressuresofthehotwater
supply and cold water supply are
different, hot water can migrate into
the cold water supply or cold water
canmigrateintothehotwatersupply.

Step 8 — Start-Up
Open Supply Stops. Remove SprayHead, then activate Faucet for 30 seconds
byplacinghandsinfrontoftheSensor.TheSolenoidValveshould“click,”Sensor
LEDindicatorshouldblinkandwatershouldflowfromtheSpout.Ifthis doesnot
occur, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this instruction manual.
Note: The Sensor LED indicator should blink when Faucet is activated for the
first 10 minutes after start-up.
Close Supply Stop(s) and install Spray Head in Spout using the Key provided.
Reopen Supply Stop(s), activate Faucet and check for leaks.
Step 9 – Range Adjustment (Figure 7)
The OPTIMA Plus EBF-615 and EBF-650 Faucets are factory set to operate
when hands are placed 4 to5 inches (102 to 127 mm) from Sensor. This range
should be satisfactory for most installations.
If range adjustment is required, use a small Phillips screwdriver.
ADJUST RANGE
The Range Potentiometer is located in the Control Module shown in Figure 7.
Important: Range Potentiometer adjustment screw rotates only 3/4 of a turn;
DO NOT over-rotate.
The EBF-615 and EBF-650 Faucets are factory set to operate when hands are
placed 4 to 5 inches(102 mm to 127 mm) from the sensor. If further adjustment
is required, turn Range Potentiometer counterclockwise to decrease range or
clockwise to increase range.
Cycle Faucet several times to assure that the Sensor range does not
inadvertentlypickupreflectionofftheedgeofthesink.Ifreflectionoccurs,slightly
adjust Range Potentiometer counterclockwise and again cycle Faucet.
Repeat adjustment procedure until desired range is achieved.
Step 10 — Install Cover to Control Module (Figure 8)
Place Cover over the Control Module and use the four (4) screws provided to
attach it. Cover can be installed in only one orientation.
Important: Install all four (4) Cover Screwsfor proper installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES
DO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERIES UNTIL THE FAUCET IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED. If the batteries are installed before the sensor

OPERATION
1. A continuous invisible beam of infrared
light is emitted from the sensor located
on the throat of the lavatory faucet.
2. As the user’s hands enter the beam’s
effective range (beneath the spray
head), the beam is reflected back into
the sensor receiver and activates the
solenoid valve. Tempered water flows
from the faucet into the sink until the
hands are removed from the beam or
until the faucet reaches an automatic
time out limit setting.
3. When hands are moved away from the
sensor, the loss of reflected light
initiates an electrical signal that
deactivatesthesolenoidvalve,shutting
off the water flow. The circuit then
automaticallyresetsandisreadyforthe
next user.
CAREANDCLEANINGOFCHROMEANDSPECIALFINISHES
DO NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaners (including chlorine bleach) to clean
faucets that 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.
Protect the faucet from any splattering of cleaner when cleaning bathroom tile.
Acids and cleaning fluids will discolor or remove chrome plating.
IMPORTANT NOTES
DO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERIES UNTIL THE FAUCET IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED. If the batteries are installed before the sensor
cable has been connected to the control module, the faucet will not properly set the sensing range for the sink on which it has been installed.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. PROBLEM: Sensor troubleshooting
LED does not function
(red indicator light
does not flash during
set-up procedure).
CAUSE: No battery poweris being supplied to Sensor.
SOLUTION: Ensure that the batteries are installed properly. Check that
the orientation of each battery matches the positive (+)
and negative (-) symbols shown on the bottom of the
battery compartment. Reinsert the Battery Compartment
into the Control Module.
CAUSE: Insufficient battery power is being supplied to sensor.
SOLUTION: One (or more) of the batteries is “dead.” To ensure proper
operation, insert four (4) new C-size Alkaline batteries.
Check that the orientation of each battery matches the
positive (+) and negative (-) symbols shown on the bottom
of the Battery Compartment. Reinsert the Battery
Compartment into the Control Module.
CAUSE: Sensor Cable is not properly inserted.
SOLUTION: Disconnect and reconnect Sensor Cable to the Control
Module.
CAUSE: Sensor range is set at minimum distance.
SOLUTION: Increase Sensor range. Use a small screwdriver to turn the
potentiometer screw (white screw in a blue base)
clockwise.
CAUSE: Control Module assembly is defective.
SOLUTION: Replace EBF-60-A Control Module assembly.
2. PROBLEM: Faucet does not deliver any water when Sensor is
activated.
INDICATOR: Solenoid valve produces audible “CLICK.”
CAUSE: Water supply valve is closed.
SOLUTION: Open the Supply Stop.
INDICATOR: Solenoid valve DOES NOT produce an audible “CLICK.”
CAUSE: Solenoid lead is not properly connected to the Control
Module.
SOLUTION: Disconnect and reconnect Solenoid lead to the Control
Module.
CAUSE: Batteriesare not installed properly.
SOLUTION: Check that the orientation of each battery matches the
positive (+) and negative (-) symbols shown on the bottom
of the battery compartment. Reinsert the Battery
Compartment into the Control Module. The
troubleshootingLED should flash RED when a user is
detected.
3. PROBLEM: Faucet delivers only a slow flow or dribble when
Sensor is activated.
CAUSE: Water supply valve is partially closed.
SOLUTION: Completely open the Supply Stop.
CAUSE: Solenoid Filter is clogged.
SOLUTION: Remove, clean, andreinsert. Replace EBF-1004-A
Solenoid Filter Kitif necessary.
CAUSE: Aerator or Spray head is clogged.
