1. Attach the threaded rods to the bottom of the faucet. Position the gasket accordingly on the sink and lower faucet.
2. Below the sink, place the basin washer, flat washer, and retaining washer onto the threaded rod and push secure. The retaining washer will hold in place while securing the nut.
3. Tighten the nut onto a threaded rod using a screwdriver, wrench, or 1/2˝ socket.
4. After completing the control box installation, flush the lines completely. Then install the outlet cache using provided installation key.

Mounting Control Box

1. Remove the control box cover by using a #2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the cover screw.
2. Pivot the yellow locking tab and remove the metal key at the top of the control box. Apply silicone-based lubricant to the end of the spout hose and insert it through the hole.
3. Be sure to seat the hose firmly before reinstalling the metal key and securing it with the yellow locking tab.
4. Determine the position of the control box under the sink. Hold the control box against the wall and mark the locations of the two mounting holes. Orientation is not critical.

Connecting Water Supply (dual supply unit shown)

• Drill 3/16˝ holes, and install wall anchors and mounting screws. Be sure to leave at least 1/2˝ (12mm) of the screw head exposed. Secure the control box to the wall using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

• Insert the filter screen gaskets into the supply stops.
  IMPORTANT: The filter screen gaskets seal the connection against leaks and must be installed as shown.

• Attach the 3/8˝ female compression supply hoses from the control box to the supply stops. Use a wrench to tighten the nuts to the supply stops.
  IMPORTANT: Remove any debris or hardware from the sink before opening the supplies and testing the faucet.

• Open the supply stops and check for leaks. Note: water may run through the spout.

Connecting Power and Solenoid

1. Bring wire into the box. Use the length of the box for measurement. Snap into a holder on the side.
2. Attach power connections as shown in the following sections.

Battery (DC) Power

• Open the yellow battery housing and insert 4 ‘AA’ batteries according to the diagram inside the housing. NOTE: Make sure the batteries are oriented properly before testing the faucet.
• Attach the wiring connectors (gray to gray, black to black). Note: Connectors are keyed for proper installation as shown. Snap completed connections, into the wiring harness as shown.

(AC) Power

1. Choose a location and mount the transformer. Run the cable from the transformer through the opening in the control box.
2. Attach the wiring connectors (gray to gray, black to black). Note: Connectors are keyed for proper installation as shown. Snap completed connections, into the wiring harness as shown.
3. Plug the transformer into the wall.
4. Wire up the transformer to the main line.

2. Connect wiring connectors, first gray to gray, then black to black. (Note: the connectors are keyed for proper installation) Snap the completed connections, into the wiring harness as shown. Tuck the completed green connection into the space as shown.

Completing Installation: Testing and Adjustment

• Once the wiring is complete, the red sensor light at the faucet outlet will glow continuously for 5 seconds. After the light switches off, place your hands in front of the faucet. The faucet should activate and water should flow.
• Adjusting the Water Temperature
• Loosen the cap screw until the handle turns freely (do not remove the screw) with a 3mm (7/64˝) hex wrench.
• The cap must be partially pulled from the valve to adjust the temperature. Turn the handle clockwise to decrease temperature or counter-clockwise to increase temperature.
• Push the cap in and tighten the cap screw.
• Mixed water temperature must be checked at the point of use and the CFC mixing valve adjusted to ensure delivery of water at a safe temperature no exceeding 110°F (43°C). Water temperatures in excess of 110°F (43°C) are dangerous and may cause scalding, severe injury, or death!
• Reinstall the control box cover and secure it with the #2 Phillips screw.

Commander Handheld Programming Unit

Use the Commander™ Handheld Programming Unit to change settings quickly and easily on your Chicago Faucets touch-free products (EQ Series not included). The Commander™ Handheld Programming Unit lets you program, maintain, and monitor our electronic faucets from the palm of your hand. Commander features a ruggedized housing, infrared communications, and touch-screen technology. Refer to the Commander Quick Start Guide to get started.

Faucet Adjustment Overview

Operating modes and sensor ranges can be adjusted with a manual operation through the infrared sensor. A traditional lavatory faucet is shown as an example. Faucet adjustment operations apply to all models. Alternatively, operating modes and sensor ranges can be adjusted with the Chicago Faucets Commander™ Handheld Programming Unit. For more information, visit chicagofaucets.com/commander.

Operating Modes Description

• Cleaning Mode:   The faucet is inactive for 90 seconds.
• Normal Mode:   The faucet is activated if it senses a hand presence. This is the default operating mode of the faucet.
• Metering Mode (10 s):   The faucet will shut off after 10 seconds regardless of hand presence detected.
• Scrub Mode (60 s): The faucet will shut off 60 seconds after the detection of the last hand presence.
• Scrub Mode (180 s):   The faucet will shut off 180 seconds after the detection of the last hand presence.
• Sensor Range Adjustment:   Changes the detection distance of the infrared sensor. The default sensor range is approximately 1˝ beyond the spout.
• Reset:   All settings will be reset to the original factory settings.

In order to set the operating modes, the faucet needs to be placed into “Manual Setting” mode. At this time, operating modes can be changed within the next 30 minutes. If you do not have a Commander Programming Unit and would like to manually change modes, contact 1-800-832-8783 for instructions.

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING

Follow the steps below to fix common problems. For detailed troubleshooting, visit chicagofaucets.com. Before troubleshooting, remove any objects in the detection zone and make sure the sensor is clear of debris. Ensure power is applied and a solid red light appears during the first 5 seconds after power- up.
The faucet is leaking:
From outlet – tighten or replace outlet insert using included key. From supply stops – install or replace filter screen gaskets (see diagram on pg. 1).
No water flow or flow is limited:
Make sure supply hoses are connected and supply stops are fully open. Clean or replace filter screen gaskets or outlet inserts.
Water flow does not stop:
If water flows continuously but stops when the hand enters the detection zone, reverse solenoid electrical connections.
The faucet does not properly detect user:
Remove and reapply power or run the faucet to maximum run time. This will cause automatic recalibration of the sensing field. Recalibration is complete when solid red light disappears. If the steps above do not solve the problem, you may need to replace the spout assembly or control box. For additional information contact Chicago Faucets customer service at 800/832-8783.

Care and Maintenance

Periodic inspection and yearly maintenance by a licensed contractor are r
required for all thermostatic mixing elements. Corrosive water conditions and/or unauthorized adjustments or repairs could render the thermostatic valve ineffective for the service intended. Regular checking and cleaning of the valve’s internal components and check stop help assure maximum life and proper product function. The frequency of cleaning and inspection depends on local water conditions. All Chicago Faucets fittings are designed and engineered to meet or exceed industry performance standards. Care should be taken when cleaning this product. Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or solvents as they can result in surface damage. Use a mild soap with warm water for cleaning and protecting the surface of Chicago Faucets fittings.
