Product Information

• Product Name: Repair Parts and Maintenance Guide
• Model: A-3 Body
• Manufacturer: Sloan

Product Usage Instructions

Installation:

1. Identify the appropriate repair part or maintenance item needed based on the provided parts list.
2. Refer to the item code and part number to ensure compatibility with your specific model.
3. Follow the user manual for specific installation instructions for each repair part or maintenance item.

Operation:

1. Ensure that the product is installed correctly according to the user manual.
2. The product operates using a sensor that detects the presence of a user within its effective range.
3. The effective range for closet installations is between 22 to 42 inches (559 mm to 1067 mm), and for urinal installations, it is between 15 to 30 inches (381 mm to 762 mm).
4. When a user enters the effective range, the sensor reflects the beam into the Scanner Window, activating the Output Circuit.
5. Once activated, the Output Circuit remains in a hold mode as long as the user stays within the effective range of the sensor.

Note: For specific troubleshooting or maintenance instructions, refer to the Repair Parts and Maintenance Guide provided by Sloan.

OPERATION

A continuous, invisible light beam is emitted from the Optima Plus® Sensor. As the user enters the beam’s effective range, 22 to 42 inches (559 mm  to 1067 mm) for closet installations and 15 to 30 inches (381 mm to 762 mm) for urinal installations, the beam is reflected into the Scanner Window to activate the Output Circuit. Once activated, the Output Circuit continues in a “hold” mode for as long as the user remains within the effective range of the sensor. When the user steps away, the loss of reflected light initiates an electrical “one- time” signal that activates the flushing cycle to flush the fixture. The Circuit automatically resets and is ready for the next user.

ITEM 19D. SLIP JOINT GASKETS AND RINGS

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When required, replace batteries with four (4) AA-Size Batteries.

Note: Water does not have to be turned off to replace batteries. Loosen the two (2) Screws on top of unit. Remove the complete Cover Assembly. Lift the Sensor Module from its Plate. Unplug the Electrical Connector from Battery Compartment Cover. Loosen the Retaining Screw on Battery Compartment Cover and remove Battery Compartment Cover. Install four (4) Alkaline AA-Size Batteries exactly as illustrated. Install Battery Compartment Cover and secure with Retaining Screw. Make  that Battery Compartment Cover is fully compressed against Gasket to provide a seal; Do Not overtighten. Plug the Electrical Connector into the Battery Compartment Cover. Reinstall the Sensor Module onto the Plate. Reinstall the complete Cover Assembly onto the Plate. Tighten the two (2) Screws on top of the unit.

RANGE ADJUSTMENT (ADJUST ONLY IF NECESSARY)

The Optima Plus has a factory set sensing range:
Water Closet Models – 22” to 42” (559 mm to 1067 mm)
Urinal Models – 15” to 30” (381 mm to 762 mm)

The Factory setting should be satisfactory for most installations.
If the range is too short (i.e., not picking up users) or too long (i.e., picking up opposite wall or stall door) the range can be adjusted.

Note: Water does not have to be turned off to adjust range.
Make sure to remove all the non-permanent targets in sensor view area. Push manual override button for 25 seconds. the Red LED in the G2 sensor starts slow blinking. Release the button during the LED blinking. The G2 will enter into distance setting mode. The setting mode will run for one (1) minute.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
WHEN ADJUSTING RANGE FOR URINAL SENSOR, MAKE SURE TO SET-UP A PROPER TARGET IN FRONT OF URINAL SENSOR.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTAINING THE SLOAN OPTIMA PLUS® FLUSHOMETER

IMPORTANT: This product contains mechanical and/or electrical components that are subject to normal wear. These components should be checked on a regular basis and replaced as needed to maintain the valve’s performance.
Never open Control Stop to where the flow from the valve exceeds the flow capability of the fixture. In the event of a valve failure, the fixture must be able to accommodate a continuous flow from the valve.

ATTENTION INSTALLERS: With the exception of the control stop inlet, DO NOT USE pipe sealant or plumbing grease on any valve component or coupling! To protect the chrome or special finish of Sloan flushometers, DO NOT USE toothed tools to install or service these valves. Use our
A-50 Super-Wrench™ or other smooth-jawed wrench to secure couplings. Regulations for low consumption fixtures (1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf closets and 1.0 gpf/3.8 Lpf urinals) prohibit use of higher flush volumes.

1. Sensor flashes continuously only when user steps within range.

2. Unit in Start-Up mode; no problem. This feature is active for the first ten (10) minutes of operation.

3. Valve does not flush; sensor not picking up user.

4. Range too short; increase the range.

5. Valve does not flush; sensor picking up opposite wall or surface, or only flushes when someone walks by. Red light flashes continuously for first 10 minutes even with no one in front of the sensor.

6. Range too long; shorten range.

7. Valve does not flush even after adjustment.

8. Range Adjustment Potentiometer set at full “max” or full “min” setting. Readjust Potentiometer away from full “max” or “min” setting.

9. Batteries completely used up; replace batteries.

10. Problem with Electronic Sensor Module; replace Electronic Sensor Module.

11. Unit flashes four (4) quick times when user steps within range.

12. Batteries low; replace batteries.

13. Valve does not shut off.

14. Bypass Orifice in Diaphragm is clogged with dirt or debris, or Bypass is clogged by an invisible gelatinous film due to “over-treated” water. Remove Flex Tube Diaphragm and wash under running water.
    Note: Size of orifice in the by-pass is of utmost importance for
    the proper metering of water by the valve. DO NOT ENLARGE OR DAMAGE THIS ORIFICE. Replace flex tube diaphragm if cleaning does not correct the problem.

15. Dirt or debris fouling Stem or Flex Tube Diaphragm. Remove Flex Tube Diaphragm and wash under running water.

16. O-ring on Stem of Flex Tube Diaphragm is damaged or worn. Replace O- ring if necessary.

17. Problem with Electronic Sensor Module; replace Sensor Module.

18. Not enough water to fixture.

19. Wrong Flush Volume Regulator installed in Flex Tube Diaphragm Kit. Install the correct Regulator (see Step 6 of these instructions).

20. Wrong Optima Plus® Diaphragm kit installed; i.e., 1 gpf. urinal installed on 3.5 gal. closet fixture. Replace with proper Optima Plus diaphragm kit.

21. Enlarged Bypass in Diaphragm. Replace Flex Tube Diaphragm.

22. Control Stop not adjusted properly. Readjust Control Stop.

23. Inadequate volume or pressure at supply. Increase water pressure or supply (flow) to valve. Consult factory for assistance.

24. Too much water to fixture.

25. Wrong Flush Volume Regulator installed in Flex Tube Diaphragm Kit. Install the correct Regulator (see Step 6 of these instructions).

26. Control Stop not adjusted properly. Readjust Control Stop.

27. Wrong Optima Plus Diaphragm kit installed; i.e., 3.5 gpf. closet installed on 0.5 gal. urinal fixture. Replace with proper Optima Plus Diaphragm kit.

28. Dirt in Diaphragm Bypass. Clean under running water or replace Flex Tube Diaphragm.

CARE AND CLEANING OF CHROME AND SPECIAL FINISHES

DO NOT USE abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean flushometers 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 flushometer should be protected from any splattering of cleaner. Acids and cleaning fluids can discolor or remove chrome plating.
When assistance is required, please contact
