PRE-IN STALLA TIO N IN FO RM A TIO N
Prepa ra tion for insta lla tion
Flush the water supply pipes thoroughly prior to installation. Do not allow
debris, PTFE tape or any metal particles to enter the tap.
Turn o the water supply.
Importa nt - All plumbing is to be installed in accordance with applicable
codes and regulations.
IN STALLA TIO N
S tep 1 - Prepa ra tion for mounting the ta p
1. S hut o the water supply and remove the hexagonal nut, washer and
gasket from the threaded inlet.
Step 2 - Insta lling the ta p
1. Position the tap with the ‘O’ ring located in the base into the hole in the
basin or water proof work surface. Ensure the ‘O’ ring is located correctly.
2. Slide the gasket over the exible hose.
3. Secure the tap to the basin or work surface using the hexagon nut and disk.
Step 3 - C onnecting the wa ter supply
1. A service ball valve must be installed in the supply
pipe to enable the tap to be isolated for servicing
should it be required.
2. Connect the pipe from tap to the solenoid valve and
then from the solenoid valve to the service ball valve.
Ensure the ow direction through the solenoid valve is
the same as indicated by the arrow on the valve body.
3. Ensure the lter is assembled between the inlet joint
and the solenoid valve.
4. Turn on the water supply and check for leakage.
5. Isolate via the service ball valve and tighten or remake
joints if leakage occurs.

Step 4 - Connecting the power supply
1. Install the battery box on the wall under the basin using the screws
provided or the two sided adhesive foam tape.
INSTALLATION
FLOW TIME ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment levels
The flow time is programmable after installation.
If necessary, the default flow time of 20 seconds can be adjusted.
The adjustment mechanism is composed of 3 adjustment levels for changing the
flow time. An indicator light (LED) will guide you from one level to the next.
In each adjustment level the flow time can be changed by incremental steps. The
following table shows the number of steps in each level, the increment of each
step and how to recognise in which adjustment level you are in.
To operate the tap, simply touch the
designated area on the Piezo cap, the tap
will open and water will start to flow.
To turn off the tap before the flow time has
expired touch the cap again in the
designated area.

The following example shows how to manage the adjustment levels:
Ex ample 1: You wish to adjust the flow time to 20 seconds.
At level 1 perform 3 steps of 1 second (3s). Total: 3 seconds.
Go to level 2 and perform 1 step of 2 seconds (2s). Total: 5 seconds.
Go to level 3 and perform 1 step of 15 seconds (15s). Total: 20 seconds.
Ex ample 2: You wish to adjust the flow time to 45 seconds.
At level 1 perform 1 steps of 1 second (1s). Total: 1 seconds.
Go to level 2 and perform 7 step of 2 seconds (14s). Total: 15 seconds.
Go to level 3 and perform 2 step of 15 seconds (30s). Total: 45 seconds.
Ex ample 3: You wish to adjust the flow time to 60 seconds.
At level 1 perform 10 steps of 1 second (10s). Total: 10 seconds.
Go to level 2 and perform 10 step of 2 seconds (20s). Total: 30 seconds.
Go to level 3 and perform 2 step of 15 seconds (30s). Total: 60 seconds.

FLOW TIME ADJUSTMENT
How to adjust the flow time
1. Disconnect the power supply between
the battery box and tap.
2. Using the Allen key unscrew the socket
screw and remove the Piezo cap.
3. Touch the Piezo cap on the normal
face with the markings, to empty all
the power remaining in the cap.
4. Wait ten seconds before re-connecting the power supply.
5. The indicator light (LED) on the under side of the Piezo cap as shown
(normally hidden) will start flashing. After a few flashes the LED will give a
steady red light. When this happens enter the adjustment mode at level 1
by touching the normal face of the Piezo cap within a few seconds.
6. By touching the Piezo cap the new flow time will be programmed. In
adjusting mode level 1, each touch of the Piezo cap will increase the flow
time by 1 second. The LED will flash every time the Piezo cap is touched to
perform a new step.
7. If the desired flow time is within 10 seconds, no other adjusting levels are
needed and you can stop pressing the Piezo cap. The LED will flash 2 twice
followed by 3 times and 4 times after which you will have left the adjusting
mode. The tap is now set to the desired flow duration.
8. To perform steps at adjustment level 2, wait until the LED has flashed twice,
then touch the Piezo cap the required number of times, with a maximum of
10 steps of 2 seconds.
9. If level 3 is not required stop pressing, the LED will flash 3 times and then
after a further 4 times, you will have left the adjusting mode. The tap is now
set to the desired flow duration.
10.To perform steps at adjusting level 3, wait until the LED has flashed 3 times,
then touch the Piezo cap the required number of times, with a maximum of
2 steps of 15 seconds.
11.To leave the adjusting mode wait until the LED has flashed 4 times, the tap
is now set to the desired flow duration.
12.Replace the Piezo cap into the tap body and re-tighten the retaining screw.

LOW BA TTERY IN DICA TOR
The tap has an advanced battery level management system consisting of 2
steps.
The first step is activated when the battery reaches a level of 7.7 volts, at this
point the battery still has enough power to open and close the solenoid valve.
The battery level management system allows the solenoid valve to open, but will
activate the LED warning light at the back of the Piezo cap. The LED will flash
twice when the battery management system has activated level 1.
The second step is activated when the battery might not have enough power to
open and close the solenoid valve. The battery management system does not
allow the solenoid valve to open, instead it provides 2 closing pulse. The LED
warning light will flash 3 times when the battery manage system has activated
level 2.
Battery replacement instructions
1. Carefully open the battery box.
2. Remove the old batteries.
3. Replace the used batteries with 6 new 1.5 V AA batteries.
4. Close the box.
FILTER CLEA NIN G
The tap is provided with one stainless steel filter to prevent foreign particles from
entering the solenoid valve and tap.
If the water flow has decreased this may be due to the filter becoming clogged,
which can be cleaned as follows:
1. Shut off the water supply at the service valve installed in the supply pipe
(not provided).
2. Disconnect the water supply inlet adaptor on the inlet to the solenoid valve.
3. Remove the filter from the adaptor and wash it thoroughly under running
water.
4. Re-assemble the filter and adaptor to the solenoid valve.
5. Turn on the water supply and check to ensure there is no leakage from any
joint.

Check the flow time. If it needs adjusting
follow the instructions on pages 7 and 8.
Check the solenoid valve. If debris or
scale are present, unscrew the solenoid
valve, pull out the plunger and the spring
and clean them and remove any debris
present.
Use scale remover if required. When
replacing the spring make sure that it is in
vertical position.
Check the batteries. Low or used
batteries, replace with new, see page 9.
Check the flow time, see pages 7 and 8.
Check the connection between the Piezo
cap connector and the solenoid connector.
Check the battery box is correctly
connected.
