Installation of the Sloan OPTIMA Plus®ERF-885 Battery Powered, Sensor
Activated Wireless Lavatory Faucet makes wash-up totally "hands-free,"
providing the ultimate in sanitary protection and automatic operation. The
OPTIMA Plus®Faucet uses Active and Passive Infrared sensing technology to
sense the user's presence and turn on a water supply that has been pre-mixed to
the desired water temperature. When the user’s presence is no longer sensed, the
water flow automatically stops.
The ERF-885 Faucet is powered by four C-size batteries which eliminates the
need to run any electrical lines to the system. In addition, the Faucet uses an RF
signal between the sensor and valve module which eliminates the need to
connect any electrical or optical line between the two components. These
features provide easier installation in less time!
The Sloan ERF-885 Battery Powered, Sensor Activated Wireless Lavatory Faucet
comes complete with an integral faucet and sensor assembly, trim plate, control
module, four Duracell alkaline batteries — Size C (for control module), two
DL123A lithium batteries (for spout), Bak-Chek®compression tee and all
mounting hardware. Available with 4 inch or 8 inch trim plate. Also available as
optional equipment is a grid strainer and mixing valves. 3/8 inch copper supply
tube or flexible hose connections to be supplied by the installer.
The following instructions will serve as a guide when installing the Sloan
ERF-885 Faucet. As always, good safety practices and care are recommended
when installing your new Faucet. If further assistance is required, contact your
nearest Sloan Representative office or the Sloan Installation Engineering
Department at 11--888888--SSLLOOAANN--1144((11--888888--775566--22661144)).

OPERATION
When hands are placed beneath the spray
head, the ppaassssiivveeOPTIMA®Sensor senses
heat from the user’s hands. The aaccttiivvee
OPTIMA®Sensor then emits invisible light
beams that are reflected from the user’s hands
back to the sensor. When both OPTIMA®
Sensors qualify the user, the Faucet transmits
an RF signal to the control module to activate
the solenoid and turn on a water flow.
Tempered water flows for as long as hands
continue to stay within the Sensor’s range (30
second automatic shut off). When hands are
removed, the water flow automatically stops.
The faucet is then ready for the next user.
CARE AND CLEANING OF CHROME AND SPECIAL FINISHES
DO NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaners (including chlorine bleach) to clean
faucets 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 faucet should be protected from any
splattering of cleaner. Acids and cleaning fluids will discolor or remove chrome
plating.

Solenoid Filter Screen Cleaning Procedure (Figure 18)
Before cleaning the Screen Filter, turn off the water supply at supply stop(s).
Activate the Faucet to relieve any pressure in the system. Unscrew the Filter Plug
and remove it from the Solenoid Valve Housing. Carefully remove the Screen
Filter from the Solenoid Valve Housing.
Clean the Screen Filter using fresh tap water only. If necessary, use a small brush
to clean. Use caution while cleaning to prevent damage to Screen Filter. If any
Filter components are damaged, order Filter Replacement Kit ETF-1004-A.
Examine the Screen Filter Plug O-ring for wear or damage; replace if necessary.
Carefully replace the Screen Filter into the Filter Plug. Screw the Filter Plug with
O-ring into the Solenoid Valve Housing and tighten securely to prevent leaks.
Turn on the water supply at the supply stop(s). Activate the Faucet to purge any
air from the system lines. Check for leaks and repair as necessary.
