OPTIONAL BATTERY BACKUP and
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR LOCATION (Figure 3)
All Models
Install the single-gang electrical box in an area that is convenient
for visibility of the Low Battery Indicator Light. This can be located
either close to the fixture or in a remote area such as the mainte-
nance area or engineering room.
• The battery backup will supply power to a maximum of eight
flush valves for an approximate three-day period during a
power failure.
• The Low Battery indicator will come on when the batteries
have reached a “caution level.” The Flushometers will function
when the light is illuminated until the batteries are completely
discharged.
• The Low Battery light will illuminate even if the main power has
not failed but the batteries have dropped to the “caution level.”
INSTALLATION
STEP 1 – Install Receptacle (Figure 4)
Install Receptacle for the Zurn Power Converter in a convenient
location. An optional mini junction box (P6000-MJ) is recommended
to distribute power to each sensor location. It is also recommended
that brown wire be used for the positive (+) of the supply and blue
wire be used for the negative (-) of the supply. This matches the
sensor and actuator wire colors.
NOTE: One Zurn Power Converter can operate as many as eight
Automatic Sensor equipped Flushometers. The Power Converter
is supplied with a six-foot cord. If additional wire is needed from
the Power Converter to the Flushometer(s), use #18 AWG for this
(by others). Do not supply power to the Power Converter until
installation of actuator, sensor and Flushometer is completed and
checked. Proper polarity must be observed or damage to one
or all components will result.

FV38-WCS • Page 4
STEP 2 – Optional Battery Backup and Low Battery
Indicator Light Installation
• If the battery backup option is being utilized, it is necessary to
install the battery pack mounting plate and the battery pack
close to the power converter in a convenient location for battery
replacement when needed.
• Mount the battery pack mounting bracket.
• Clip the battery pack into location and secure the battery pack
to the bracket with the securing screw.
NOTE: Do not install the batteries until the Flushometers are
completely installed and operating. The batteries do not have
to be installed for the system to function.
STEP 3 – Control Stop Installation (Figure 6)
Install the Zurn control stop valve with “Siphon Gard” back check
protection (and wall escutcheon on exposed Flushometer installa-
tions) to the water supply line with the outlet positioned as required.
NOTE: For sweat solder applications, see recommended
instructions included in the Zurn sweat solder kit.
STEP 4 – Install Vacuum Breaker Flush Connection
Models ZEMS6000, ZEMS6000-2 and ZEMS6000-3 (Figure 7)
Slide the tube nut, slip washer, rubber gasket and spud escutcheon
over the vacuum breaker tube and insert tube into fixture spud.
Hand tighten spud coupling into fixture spud.
Models ZEMS6140, ZEMS6142 and ZEMS6152 (Figure 8)
NOTE: When cutting scoriated pipe, leave a minimum of 1-1/4"
of scoriation to ensure engagement with compression coupling.
Assemble pipe, elbows, couplings, slip washers, rubber gaskets
and flanges as illustrated in Figure 8. Hand tighten all couplings.
Once installation is completed, tighten all connections.
STEP 5 – Actuator Cable Installation (Figures 9 and 10)
1. Drill 1-3/4" diameter hole per Figure 9.
2. Run “fish tape” from electrical box to 1-3/4" hole.
3. Install actuator escutcheon to the actuator pipe with setscrew
toward actuator. Do not tighten setscrew at this time.
4. Pull actuator cable through hole with fish tape and back to
electrical box. Secure armored cable to box with box clamp.
5. With escutcheon loose and handle port washer installed, push
cable into wall. The actuator must be angled away from the
valve body at this time until the actuator push rod clears the
handle port flange. The actuator can now be mounted to the
flush valve and tightened.
6. Push escutcheon back to wall and tighten setscrew.
7. The actuator back cover has vent holes top and bottom. After
assembly, the top hole should be sealed with a small dab of
clear silicone sealant.
NOTE: See Figure 10 for typical installation including optional
mini junction box.

STEP 6 – Electrical Hook-up (Figures 11A and 11B)
Be certain power is off to prevent damage to electrical components.
Connect the sensor to the actuator and power converter exactly
as shown in Figure 11A, Figure 11B if battery backup is being used.
Also, the wiring diagram on the battery backup may be used.
Double check that power converter polarity is correct.
STEP 7 – Mount Automatic Sensor (Figure 2)
Install the Zurn Automatic Sensor into the 2-gang electrical box
using two (2) long screws provided. Ensure that wires from sensor
case point up. The rubber push caps will be on the left side of
the sensor. The sensor lens faces outward from the finished wall.
STEP 8 – Mount Yoke and Override Button (Figure 5)
Install inner nut, bracket and outer nut on threaded shaft of
override button. Mount bracket to yoke. Adjust the distance so
that the override button will protrude through the wall plate using
the nuts on each side of bracket. The threaded shaft end of the
override button should be flush with wall plate. Connect the
override button as per Figure 11A or 11B. Mount the assembled
yoke to the electrical box.
STEP 9 – Flush Out Supply Line (Figure 12)
Make sure the control stop is closed by activating the handle.
Remove valve body cover. Lift out the trip mechanism. Install the
internal plastic cover and valve body cover wrench tight and open
control stop. Turn on water supply to flush line of any debris or
sediment.
After completion, shut off control stop, remove covers and
reinstall the trip. Install internal plastic cover and valve body

STEP 10 – Test and Adjustment (Figure 13)
(Also see “Sensor Features” on Page 7.)
Zurn Automatic Sensors are preset at the factory and provide
the user with selectable options as follows:
Switch 1 – Automatic Flush (Factory setting is on.)
Switch 2 – Red/Green LED (Factory setting is on.)
Switch 3 – Courtesy Flush (Factory setting is on.)
• Red/Green LED – With power applied the red light will
illuminate when an object is detected. The green light will
illuminate after the object has been detected for a minimum
of 8 seconds then leaves. The green light indicates the
flushing sequence.
• Range Adjustments – The Zurn Automatic Sensors are
factory set to operate at a range of 50". This range should
be satisfactory for most installations. If the range is too short
(i.e., not detecting the user) or too long, adjust the range.
• To Make A Range Adjustment – Remove the rubber push
caps. The range adjustment is shown in Figure 13. Using a
small screwdriver, turn the range adjustment clockwise to
increase range (maximum range is 60") or counterclockwise
to decrease range (minmum range is 12").
CAUTION: Range adjustment rotates only 1/2 turn total from
min. to max. Do not exceed this or sensor will be damaged.
Stand in front of the Zurn Automatic Sensor at the desired distance;
the red light will illuminate when you are within range.
Repeat adjustment procedure until the desired range is obtained.
• Switch Settings (Figure 13)
The three switches control the following options. They can be
activated or deactivated by means of the switches (down is
on, up is off).
Switch 1 – Automatic Flush – The unit will automatically
flush 24 hours after last user.
Switch 2 – Red/Green LED – When an object is detected
the Red LED illuminates. The Green LED illuminates while
flushing.
Switch 3 – Courtesy Flush – When an object has been
detected for two seconds, the unit flushes and goes into the
normal mode. This is repeatable after 90 seconds.
NOTE: After the options have been selected the reset button
must be pushed for sensor to accept selections. Make sure
rubber push caps are securely installed after making adjust-
ments to protect sensor from moisture.
STEP 11 – Adjust Control Stop (Figures 6 and 12)
Adjust the control stop to meet the flow rate required for proper
cleaning of the fixture. Open control stop counterclockwise one-
half turn from closed position. Activate Flushometer simulating a
user. Adjust the control stop after each flush until the rate of
flow delivered properly cleanses the fixture.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Excessive water flow creates noise, while
too little flow will not satisfy the needs of the fixture. Proper
adjustment is made when:
1. The plumbing fixture is cleansed after each flush without
splashing water out from the lip.
2. A quiet flushing cycle is achieved.
After adjustment: Replace the Zurn stop cap screw cover.
CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean Flushometers
and actuators as they may dull the luster and attack the chrome
or special decorative finishes. Use only mild soap and water, then
wipe dry with a clean cloth or towel.
While cleaning the bathroom tile, the Flushometer and actuator
should be protected from splattering of cleaner. Acids and
cleaning fluids can discolor or remove chrome plating.
SENSOR FEATURES (See Step 10 for instructions.)
Courtesy Flush: The Sensor will provide a courtesy flush two
seconds after a person is first detected. The courtesy flush removes
any residue from the fixture. The main flush will occur when the
user steps away from the fixture. The courtesy flush can be
manually activated/deactivated at any time.
Automatic 24-Hour Flush: The sensor will provide an automatic
flush 24 hours after the last user. The automatic flush can be
manually activated/deactivated at any time.
Indicator Lights: The sensor unit has two operation lights, red
and green. The red light is lit when an object is detected. The
green is lit when the unit is flushing. The indicator lights can be
manually activated/deactivated at any time.
Maintenance Override (For Maintenance Purposes):
The sensor may be disabled for 10 minutes by placing a magnet
on the sensor lens for 3 to 5 seconds. After 10 minutes the sensor
will automatically resume functioning. Placing a magnet on the
sensor for one second will restore normal operation and also provide
a flush. These features are often desired for cleaning purposes.
Adjustable Range: The viewing distance is adjustable from 12"
to 60".
Function Light: If an object is in the viewing range for more than
30 minutes the red LED will blink. Range readjustment may be
required.
