Note: When installation is finished, please use a small piece of soft and dry cloth to wipe away the “sensor eye” slightly.
Battery installation
Note: DO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERIES UNTIL THE FAUCET IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED. If the batteries are installed before the fiber optic cable has been connected to the Control module assembly, the faucet will not properly set the sensing range for the sink on which it has been installed. Loosen the cap of control module assembly with head screwdriver, and loosen the cap of battery compartment. To ensure proper operation, inset four (4) new C-size alkaline batteries. Check that the orientation of each battery matches the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols shown in the bottom of the battery compartment. Make sure that spout is properly centered and that no objects are in the sink. Close the cap of battery compartment and cap of the control module assembly follow the above steps.
Connect inlet pipe
Please connect inlet pipe to control module assembly.
Note: Please use the proper inlet pipe into diameter of inlet on solenoid valve.
Very Important: Please turn off the inlet pipe valve to install the inlet pipe.
Turn on the inlet pipe valve
Please turn on the inlet pipe valve, to check whether water flowing and sensor distance meets your requirements. If not, Please follow the above ways to adjust the sensor distance again. BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE Battery powered faucet with 4AA alkaline batteries can be used for 2 years at 200 cycles a day. When the batteries are low and need to be replaced, the faucet will signal you, when your hand approach the sensor location, the LED will flash red three times quickly without water out; when without object to approach the sensor location, the LED will red one time per four second. At this point we recommend battery replacement. To replace batteries: Note:Water supply to the faucet does not need to be turned off when replacing batteries. Loosen the cap of control module assembly with head screwdriver, and loosen the cap of battery compartment. To ensure proper operation, inset four (4) new C-size alkaline batteries. Check that the orientation of each battery matches the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols shown in the bottom of the battery compartment. Make sure that spout is properly centered and that no objects are in the sink. Close the cap of battery compartment and cap of the control module assembly follow the above steps. Upon installation of the batteries, faucet will begin a new self calibration procedure. SOLENOID SCREEN FILTER CLEANING PROCEDURE Before cleaning the screen filter, turn off the water supply at the supply stop(s). Turn off the inlet pipe. Activate the faucet to relieve any pressure in the system. Clean the screen filter using fresh tap water. If necessary, use a small brush to clean. Use caution while cleaning to prevent damage to the solenoid screen filter. Connect the inlet pipe; 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.

Operation:
- Place hands under spout and directly in front of neck mounted sensor, water will begin to flow out in less than a second, water flow rate is governed by aerator and supply pressure, water temperature is governed by position of water mixture selector, as well as water temperature in supply pipes. Please remember, automatic faucets employ presence” not “motion” sensors. An idle object placed directly underneath spout will immediately activate faucet.
- Remove hands, water will cease to flow within 1-3 seconds.
- If hands are left underneath spout for more than 60 seconds, water will automatically shut off. To initiate flow again move hands away from faucet and start at step 1.
- When attempting to run water over small objects such as tooth brush, it may be necessary to bring object closer to sensor to initiate water flow, when water begins to flow, move object back under stream of water. Once user “gets the feel” of the faucet this step may be skipped.
- Faucets with water mixture selector above the sink. Water mixture ratio is adjusted from hot to cold and anywhere in between by moving lever. Battery Replacement Instructions: Batteries should provide 12 to 36 months of reliable service mostly depending on the make of battery used and the frequency of usage among other factors. Battery weakness is indicated by constantly flashing led light within the sensor capsule.
When replacing batteries please follow these simple steps:
- Unplug Battery from faucet.
- Unfasten the 4 Philips screws that hold the enclosure cover on, pull enclosure cover off.
- Replace batteries with 4 AA Alkaline batteries, make sure batteries are placed in their proper
position. - Re-install battery pack into the Faucet.
- Test faucet prior to placing enclosure cover back on.
Trouble Shooting: Faucet does not operate, red light does not blink:
- Batteries need replacing, replace batteries, see battery replacement instructions.
- Sensor wire loose, unplugged, plugged improperly, plug sensor wire properly. See installation instructions.
Water flows out of faucet even though hands or objects are not present under spout:
- Objects (such as sink lip) are present in front of sensor. (See special installation note at the back page).
- Battery wire not plugged in, batteries need replacing.
Faucet does not operate, red light blinks in response to approaching objects:
- No water, very low water pressure in supply pipes, supply valves closed.
- Water pressure very high, well above 115 PSI.
- Screen filter severely clogged up.
- Supply hoses severely kinked.
Faucet leaks, drips:
Constant leaks or drips indicate defective solenoid valve, send Faucet Automator for repair or contact an authorized plumbing professional.
Faucet continues to run for 30 -60 seconds after hands are removes:
This very rare condition generally occurs due to over sensitivity on the part of the sensor, system water pressure well above 70psi and an over lit bathroom environment.
This condition is always field curable.
- Turn down water pressure at both angle stops.
- Adjust sensor range. See Sensor Range Adjustment in this manual.
- Objects (such as sink lip) are present in front of sensor. (See special installation note at the back page).
